The Strike Gold

I mean after soak. 2 times of warm water.

Those look a size too big. You have a lot of extra fabric on your ass and behind your thighs. Just my opinion.

[tigerpac]

It's really a matter of personal preference, I don't like like jeans that tight… Might be a little big, but a size down might be too tight.

Give them a hot hot soak with some agitation to get the last bit of shrinkage out and you might be perfect

[mclaincausey]

I bet that if you hit them really hard with a hot soak for a long time you could probably get them down to size.

[Denimrox]

Yeah is a little big but if I down size to 34 it will be tight. Real tight for sure as 34 size is already little tight at my thigh as well as my calf. So yeah. Maybe I just wear it and after 3 to 4 months I give it a wash! Maybe will be better I guess.

im not super familiar with SG denim to know how much it will shrink but I would agree with MikeC's comment here. Of course it is all a matter of opinion, if you like… rock it homie.

The LHT doesn't shrink a lot.

[Denimrox]

Oh I see guys. Hmm the sales person told me it will shrink quite alot. Damn it! Nvm I shall just leave with it. peace!

[mclaincausey]

mclain, how much did you lose on the inseam of your 3105s after the hot soak?  I gather these don't shrink much after a soak - did they feel much different around the waist?  thanks

[mclaincausey]

These really don't shrink excessively. I may have lost 3/4" from the waist on a hot soak for a half hour. I am guessing maybe 1-1.5" on the inseam but less sure of that; I hemmed them so I wasn't paying much attention. I have a 30" inseam and they start at 37" so you may get some idea by looking at the cuff on my post soak fit pic on this thread. Hope that helps. I love the jeans. Love the cut,  love the denim, and its potential is just starting to show.

Thanks mclain, yes that is helpful.  I bought a pair a few days ago but haven't been in a position to do the soak and start wearing them yet.  I had the 1105s as my first raw denim a couple of years ago.
