          No because they are quite snug, I was hoping to stretch them out a bit first?

            I'd say at the very least to a gentle cold soak. Gotta embed that stitching and yeah, they're raw.. I'd definitely soak first, then stretch! Unless they'd end up too small, then I'd sell..

              I don't think they're going to be too small, I will give them a soak at the weekend then, will they soften up quicker after that do you think?

                Peter is right. Either cold so with little agitation or if the are really snug without a soak size up.

                  Nope, they'll be even crispier…..to start with...

                      Good luck! If you hang in there you'll never want a pair of sanforized jeans again!

                            If they are already a little snug then, like Peter said, a cold soak with minimal agitation is the way to go. You should then be able to stretch them past the pre-soak measurements if needs be, although you might have to work at it for the first few hours…

                                    I was putting them away for warmer weather,  but then cooler weather came back. My favorite jeans in my Iron Heart rotation

                                      Yeah, Monday, these are truly great.
                                      I probably would have considered leaving them unrepaired and rock the torn look in my off hours. But I fully understand that you can put them to more use this way, repair was also excellently done!

                                      Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !
