      I'm knackered.  I just had to turn 2 pairs of these inside out…..

        Is the denim that stiff? How does it compare to the XHS?

                    Post soak test roping.  I gave these guys 30C for 2 hours in the washing machine.  That should have got all the shrink out of the denim….

                        So I'm assuming there'll be a pre and postsoak chart of your pair for us fellas who are used to sanforised jeans?..

                            No there won't.  I can do what I normally do which is estimate what the shrinkage is, but I am not (and I suspect no one really does) run a shrink test on each and every size.  And the shrinkage that people get is widely different, so being absolute about it is misleading.

                              Think more about it, I may put a heavily caveated table up.  But it will be based on estimations rather than actuals…

                                I just meant measuring the sample pair before and after the wash…

                                  Well, we have measured the sample 666 and 1955 pre wash.  When we get to the office tomorrow we will measure post wash.  I will publish, but bear in mind, we are likely to tweak the cuts before production….

                                    Yeah - but this way I can still figure out how the denim will behave… I compare this pre-wash chart with the final one and presto... I can more or less predict the outcome, provided I use the same washing method as you...  🙂
