    I would fallow Haraki's instructions to the letter if I were you.  I soaked mine for at least 24 hours and still got some strange fading at first, it since has gone away.  Furthermore if you ever do decide to wash them, soak them a good long while first to avoid strange abrasion fades.  That has been my experience with the sr's.  That and the fact that no other jean I have ever tried even comes close to these once they finally do surrender and become your jawnz.

      i did a hot soak (as hot as my bath water would get) over night with some hand agitation from time to time for my first soak, and hung them outside until fully dry. I was not confident that there was full shrinkage and so i did another hot soak overnight. the second hot soak made a big difference.

        I found doing a second hot soak to also be very helpful with getting all the shrinkage out.

                      Measurement post-soaked

                      Size tag 33
                      waist = 15.5"
                      thigh = 12.8"
                      knee = 9.4"

                      Before I soaked it, I only measured the waist which was 16"

                          I just realized that SRs are a little bit bigger in thigh area rather than my SBs.

                          Wish that could make it a lil bit smaller  😠

                            Hot soak -> Tumble dry -> Hot soak?  😉

                            I wish I got into Iron Heart earlier… these look awesome

                              I've done hot soak before…

                              I'm not sure if I do hot soak, it will affect.

                                Every time I've done my method I've gotten ridiculous amounts of shrink.  It mostly happens in the tumble dry, but I don't like how it gets soft afterwards, so I give another soak to get the stiffness back.

                                  I work in a hospital, so jeans are pretty much a no go. I donated to a fundraiser today which will allow me to wear jeans for the next two weeks - yay, Denim for Disabilities!

                                  Tonight when I get home, I shall begin what should be about 325 consecutive hours in my SR's. I'll take them off for the shower, other than that it's gonna have to be a damn good reason.

                                        It was destiny. About two hours into my quest, after reading my daughters a book and giving my 4 year old a hug and kiss before they're off to bed, she promptly pukes all over me and my SR's. Mostly strawberries.

                                        I guess it will be more like 315 hours…
