Lori's balders are in. Pre-soak. Do you think they'll be too small after the soak?
-
That's a pretty snug fit right now. They're probably going to be super tight after soaking. I think I'd recommend going up a size.
-
That's what I was thinking. I went off the selfedge measurements which seems a bit off.
-
Feck, they don't have a pair in the size up, but they have a pair two sizes up. What if she did the ole wear them in the tub, then wear them to dry trick?
-
The waist has plenty of room, it's the thighs I'm worried about.
-
Can you pinch any fabric off the thighs? I think those might be fine if you hot soak those bitches from knee down and then slide the top block down when it gets colder and agitate a little.
-
It comes down to the thighs, per all others. If they feel okay in the thighs now, I'd keep them, if they're a tad annoying/tight, it's going to be a long road to end up still being annoyed.
I can attest to the quality of 3sixteen's ladies denims. Mrs Snowy's been rocking a pair since 2009 and has yet to split any seams. She wears them as work jeans and gets up to all kinds of crazy shit in them. (I keep meaning to take a pair of them…/hijack).

Nah, this kind of method just doesn't make sense in the long run. Imagine going through this kind of crazy process every time you want to wash your jeans… If the cut or size doesn't work from the get-go, you need a different pair.

this is so true. the shrinkage will come in the end so there is no point in minimizing the shrinkage at the initial soak. it will haunt you until your jeans finally get to their settled "end size"
