just over two months. About to wash them in high heat. Hope I don't regret it.  I just need them to shrink.  Sized up when I shouldn't have. Fingers crossed

ahhh, the old polka dot crotch shot..  Lovely

[Josh James]

@fin yea bro. I got a full 2" shrink. I'm about a 1/4" away from being able to button them.  Walking around in them wet right now.  Hoping I get my original stacks back.

dam that must of been some hot wash to get that amount of shrinkage. Mine have stretched out a lot. Crazy to think that a couple of months ago they were drawing blood on my hips!!

ok, thanks though!

[Seul]

I want a pic of that machine… Sounds cray-cray...

[Chris]

Just an older model.  Mine has 3 settings- cold, warm and hot.  US models traditionally haven't given specific temperature settings.

[Josh James]

It's gotta be a US thing. She bought it last week. An I've never seen a temp on any other ones.

[Chris]

Yeah, and our spin cycles don't give rpm, just slow and fast.

We aren't all fancy like you Europeans.

EDIT: Maybe the specific temperature settings are only on the higher end models.  Again, we Mare-kinz don't need complicated settings.

Am I detecting a Mum Joke here? Or total misread?

[Seul]

Mum joke?.. How so?..

No RPMs, no C° (or F, or ef)… Jesus tapdancing christ... I'd go mental...

[Snowy]

I'll strike up as a "Snowy was trying too hard and got a misread". Josh mentions his mom's machine only has 3 settings, and then you as for pictures of it. I thought you were asking for pictures of his mom, not the washing machine

[Seul]

Come to think of it, there were many hot mum jokes to be made… But mum's the word...

[dlaz]

Interesting share JoshJames.
haven't washed my MBB yet so far,just two very hot soak.it didnt do much to it.

[Anesthetist]

Mine shrank some in the waist and top which is what I really needed them to do. I'm not getting as much flair as before, but this could also just be the denim breaking in. They are starting to climb my list of favorite pants.

Oh and….HATS! Can't wait!
