The Strike Gold

[TomDuckett]

Ok here are some fit pics, so the jeans are 2109s tagged size 32, and they have been hemmed.
I have soaked them them twice 2 x 1hour back to back, only concern is that the waist runs a little large  :-\ , but that is something I knew about and my belt seems to solve that problem, so overall I'm really happy with the fit!

And If anyone is interested I can post pre soak and post soak measurements.

Oh and having no experience in these sort of things I put my wallet in the back pocket when wearing the jeans dry, and this is how that turned out  ::) :

Hi Tom,

I Think they look like a really good fit on you, even better when worn for a few weeks. Not sure back to back soaking without drying has the desired shrinkage effect?

Cheers.

Tom, a tad bulky around the wang region maybe?  Otherwise a nice fit indeed

OK, It was my first time doing it, I saw it recommended on the indigo shrimp blog, I thought the idea was to just clean the water and keep the heat up, but would you suggest drying them and then soaking again?

I think that could be because the jeans are still quite stiff, but I see what you mean  :-
I guess I will see…

Amusingly phrased.

I'm just glad the word "stiff" wasn't forcefully entered into that sentence…

They are good, the stiffness is coming out of some parts how we some places like the shins are still pretty stiff.
The fading hasn't really come alongich though I can see it happening getting pretty excited looking at these pics!

I wonder why they are on sale.  Prices are real good.  The rise on SG is a bit too short for me.
