      It does stretch as much as the 21oz, but it takes ages to get

      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

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

                    @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.

                            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!

                              @Traser2g Hello!Try washing them inside out at 60C and dry hot(greasing the patch might help to save it)

                                Thanks @Oleg.  I was reading through the Care thread and probably should have posted there, but wanted specific input on the 25oz.  Greasing the patch is a great bit of advice!  I would love to get 2" in the waist and maybe 1/3" in the leg opening but I am probably asking a lot.

                                        @Haddtoo 555 @Oleg  I tend to think I will end up with a new pair in the fall.  I guess the one down side to getting healthier is having to replace much loved IH pieces.  I'm going to see what kind of shrink I can get out of these and will do pics and measurements for posterity.  Thanks guys
