The Strike Gold

51XX shrinks more for certain. I can't imagine an 09 in it, the 05 is barely room enough for my thighs.

The pics are post-wash, so I'm hoping that they're done shrinking. Does this denim keep shrinking with a second or third wash?

Depends on your intial soaking/washing method mate. I gave my pair an initial hour long hot soak, then a warm wash in the machine. I wore them a handful of times for a few weeks and then decided to sell them. Gave them another cold wash and there was definetley some more shrinking going on.

[mclaincausey]

I did a cold soak on mine. I have no intention of letting hot water anywhere near them!

Hi all,

This is my first time posting pics. Here are images of my 3105's that I've owned for about 14 months that I worn between 2-3 times a week.  I hot soaked these twice and washed them about 5-6 times? Can't remember really.

New belt obtained.
Could have gone with a 34 or 35 instead of a 36. Using second tightest hole and it is pretty tight. I can buckle the last hole wearing my 666s but then it hurts. Alot.
I can only hope that it will not stretch to much.
Self edge only had them in 32 and 36. Found out that rakuten got them in all sizes today.

Nevertheless I am very happy with the belt.
Going to be fun seeing it age and evolve.
