Welcome @BloodnThunder and respect - all in with 25oz

@Giles I'm scouring this thread for answers, but it is over 200 pages. Am I right in thinking this doesn't stretch as much as the 21oz? And the shrinkage stated on the shop page, can you suggest how much that would be? An inch for tagsize 36?
And welcome @BloodnThunder

It does stretch as much as the 21oz, but it takes ages to get there…...
i'd reckon on no more than 1/2" in waist and inseam...
So after a hot soak and a few months of wear you might end up at around 37" on the tagged 36? I hate it when jawns get too big. And I suspect the 35 would have been perfect.

I'm not that patient, I use hydraulic power and clamps for as much stretch as I need. I wear this cut in a
30-31-32. The issue being that every time they get wet they need the treatment again

@Haddtoo 555 what do you do to stretch them so much. Reading back I remember reading that you stretched a sz 31 or 32 to a 17 inch waist. Curious what you method is.

Two bits of wood and a car jack if I remember correctly

That was somebody else stretching thighs with a car jack and wood
I'll post a pic next time I stretch a waist

@neph93 No worries mate

In the meantime here are the 3 sizes…in no order, the 32 is all natural, wear & tear stretch.
30 31 32

@Haddtoo 555 look forward to hearing how you did it. I don't want to say I want to size down, but a touch of a slimmer leg in the 25 ounce would be great.

I've lost a bit of weight and can wear my 666XHS again

Hello,
I need to get as much shrink as possible out of mine which are about 6 months old with 1 initial hottish soak and worn every day up until recently. I could use a bunch in the waist and there's plenty of shrink I can take in the length and opening as well. Basically I could use a smaller pair now since I have lost gobs of weight, but can't part with these if there is hope! I am thinking a very hot hand wash and into the dryer, but am worried about what it may do to them considering they are barely starting to break in. Any of you old vets have any words of wisdom? Thanks in advance!
