New 18oz denim…....

I'm picturing a process similar to those patches with illustrations of horsies trying to "draw and quarter" a pair of jeans…

Can I ask why you have issues with stability? And is it just 18 oz?

Oh my

@Giles:

Effectively it stabilises the denim without changing the inherent character of the denim.

You say that like it's a big deal.  Meh.

We don't know….The 19L is pretty unstable too.....

I wore them for a day yesterday and the waist is now at 33.5, so will def make 34….

Re: The discussion on SuFu.  What we are doing is not designed to minimise the shrinking process, it is designed to stop the variance in sizing between production runs.  It is s complete pain to make a production run of 400 pairs of jeans and find that they are 1.5" smaller in the waist than the previous run.

…and suddenly it all sounds very logical
