      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?

          1. No, no problem
          2. I'd just start wearing them…...

              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

                                      I wore these pretty consistently for over a year and washed them maybe 2 times
