      I dig the good luck given out after preordering the hat.  Is it April yet?

                      Nope  😞

                      A couple of beers in a nice pub and an Angus steakhouse as an average substitute.

                                So I think I could make a 29 work, I might die but I could make it work.

                                So this is my question, are we still allowed an initial soak before wear and be able to compete in the no wash contest for that denim?

                                      You shouldn't be soaking unsanforized denim anyway, I fail to see the problem  :-\

                                        It gets out manufacturing chemicals and gunk; I've soaked sanforized jeans and had the water turn brown from all the stuff processed into the denim.  I soak every pair before I wear them, regardless of whether they're STF or not.

                                        But hey, that's just me…

                                          As requested, close up pics of the Dark Stain Bridle with a brass number 4 buckle, 1.5" width. Please pay close attention to the profile of the buckle, which I believe is just about perfect.

                                            I'm with Chris, everything gets soaked, gets all the crap out.

                                            And yes I know stanfordized doesn't "shrink" but there is still a tiny amount of shrinkage left that it gets out.

                                            I also believe its good for the denim and gets stuff set where it wants to be.
