IH-666S - The Devil's Fit Indigo - Slim Tapered

[stever]

@Giles:

they shrink about an inch.  I supsect they will stretch an inch with wear.  Stever, what was your experience…..(Stever has had a pair longer than anyone else) G

i limited my waist shrink by going for the 90s stylee soak (wear them in the bath) as they were already about perfect for me. i always wear a belt when i wear them to keep it perfect but i definitely noticed a lot of tightening around the upper thigh and butt (or maybe i just got too snackish during the snacking season…)

ive got a 33.5 inch waist (86 cm), i shd be getting tagged size 33, but can i downsize 1 to tagged size 32 (for 32.8 waist)?

i imagine the waist will shrink an inch and stretch an inch so the original measurement will stand.

what do you think?

thanks,

mikael.

My jeans arrived today, and they are amazing. Got the 31" which shouold be perfect post soak/stretch. Will wear them a couple of times to stretch them first or Ill never get into them post soak.

Have included a fit pic and can imagine it will only get better once they are soaked/worn.

[Giles]

The receptionist acknowledged your existence today then?

[RichValentine]

Yeah she apologised again. Think she felt bad, but not the best start to the year for her. Thanks again for all your help!

Fit pic from last night.. Please ignore the uneven cuffs, I was in a hurry….

[Beatle]

Funny how I would think you're a tts 30…gonna soak twice ?

[elclintor]

Here's a quick post soak pic…

Think i should give it another soak?

[Giles]

Give them another really hot one…..............

[elclintor]

Will do Giles…

Like boiling hot?

I soaked them for 1 hour as hot as the faucet would pour..

[Giles]

No, no hotter that you have already done…..

[elclintor]

Ok, another soak tonight then…

Thanks

[quesadilla]

thats similar to what i did. i did a soak as hot as my faucet would go + some hot water every now and then from a kettle. then the next soak i did as hot as the faucet would go + more hot water from the kettle and a large pot of water that i brought to a boil. HOPEFULLY i've gotten the shrinking out since i'd like to have them hemmed…

edit: currently wearing them, i think i could've pulled off a 30. it would've been uncomfortable for awhile but i dont think i can get any more shrinkage from the waist. oh well. time to try and save for an IH belt NOT YET. if the overdye can get down to a 29.6 im determined i can get to a 30 at least. soaking pt. 3 will be happening. is it possible giles?

[Giles]

Confused, ask me in simple language…..

[quesadilla]

is it possible to get a size 31 to shrink down to the OD measurement for a size 31?

[Giles]

Yes, if you boil the shit out of them,  But, like the OD, they'll stretch back rather quickly…...........

[quesadilla]

ahh. in that case i think i'll leave them be. thanks a ton G! next IH purchase will be a belt..if only you guys had the natural one that selfedge has..(its nice not paying tax) haha
