        @Giles I don't have a bathtub or anything big enough to soak 634-SR without folding it. Will a bucket do?

            @Giles That was a fast reply. Thanks! I am gonna soak it overnight in a bucket of cold water. And then beat the hell out of it!

              Keep in mind that a cold soak in a bucket will not give you the full amount of shrinkage

                A few possibly dumb questions.

                1. Since it will eventually stretch back to tag size, is it a problem if I don't get maximum shrinkage?
                2. My 634sr is stiff and dry now. Should I soak it in hot water again?

                        G, need your opinion. my SRs only had 1 initial hot soak when they came out years ago. Since then i wore them for years but lost a whole lot of weight. they just hang in my closet wishing to get worn. Do you think if i did another hot soak and then a real hot tumble dry i could force some more shrinkage out of them? they are size 38 and right now i fluctuate between a 34 and 36 depending on craft beer season. is it worth a shot trying to make them smaller or not bother and just dont wear em?

                        Thanks buddy!

                          It's worth a go with the soak, but I think that a hot tumble dry even inside out is dangerous with that fabric….

                                HOT wash 60° C or more…. no dryer, and "straighten" the fabric while wet...

                                      Figured it was time to get my SR pics on here. They are still crunchy and “full” - need to break the hell out of them to get them to fit better.  Relaxed in the body and snug in the waist as well lol
