      Super quick pre soak pic of my MBB. Hell to button but the plier tip helped!

        It's so funny everyone is soaking these.
        Shrinkage is negligible, unless this denim is different then the other 25oz

          not at all imo…they are sanforized yeah, but not one washed as FH and Giles stated, so there´s still some shrinkage to be expected! even if it´s just a tad!

            Denim is the same, the treatment is different. There are sanforised but not one washed, therefore there is a minimal amount of shrinkage left in them, that is why people are soaking them  🙂

              Are the dc4002 washed? They shrunk a little but made no difference in combs or anywhere else after I wore them for 6 months

                Honestly, no idea. I think you get a subtle "tightening" of any jeans that you wash, real shrinkage is a totally different ball park though.

                    The 666-xhs is not one washed according to IHUK description. I did not soak until 4 months in… It did shrink them but in microscopic increments... I opted to do the same for these and postponed initial soak. I honestly think its 6 one half dozen the other... Probably technically should be soaked but realistically I can foresee a dramatic difference. Just do what you feel like you should do. To each their own

                      I will repeat this until I'm blue in the face in the hope it helps at least one person:

                      If you're prone to crotch blowouts, soak your 25oz. SOAK THEM! I didn't follow this advice and had my first hole at 3 months. If you soak, you should be good for at least 6 months.

                        Mine shrank in the same dimensions that G said they would. So for me I'm glad I did it.

                          My MBB's are still slightly damp in the pocket bags and I can't button the top button but I'm wearing them anyways 😉

                            and, f*ck, can't find words, so great that belt, WOOW, what a pleasure to held this thing in my hands...

                            did some pics at first, fit-pics later on....

                                        too bad that it is not wearable all day, so fecking great belt!

                                        had a feeling that the girl at the custom office (she wanted to know what's in that package, and what I paid for) thought "what's up with these stupid guys?" because I had to told her the story about that belt…haha

                                          Congrats, I'll be lucky to even get half that amount of wear.

                                          I should have bought two belts. One as an air freshener and one to wear around. My whole room smells like a leather store. Mega the belt is fantastic. Thanks for all your help.

                                            Congrats again! I remember picking up my two prizes from halloffade at customs - they were also totally not believing what I told them about winning a denim contest.
