So they have a from loader her where I’m staying. How do u recommend I wash these? I’m  noob to front loading machines

@Matty123 I have a front load at my house and it worked fine. I just kind of sat in front of it with my laptop waiting for the spin to start. Hah

Ok, so I let the machine run and tumble and then when the final
Spin is about to start I yank them out… ok thanks man.

@Matty123 no problem.

IH directions that came with the denim recommend a cold soak. I’m doing  that now and will wash them later. How the hell am I gonna get these inside out while wet?

With a whole lot of effort and a decent amount of laughter at your struggle by your significant other, @Matty123 . 

[Matty123]

Yeah she will probably enjoy my struggle. Lol

[Matty123]

Fuck me looks like there wa soap in the washer from a previous user. Gonna man these before the spin starts

[Matty123]

This is how I have to dry these… thoughts? I can hang them in the shower over night. But for now I got this. There is also a lot of Little wrinkles on them. No Color loss streaks though...  maybe some Leg twist on the left leg ?  Thoughts please

That brown spot was something on the Lense

Stacks on stacks on stacks @jvicente86

Post-soak measurements and photos. Didn't struggle much getting these on and I might have been able to squeeze into a 35 but I didn't want to risk the thigh being too tight

Fit looks really good [emoji1434] Great job documenting shrinkage too. Very helpful to others.

I take it I’m a bit late now (it was nighttime here when you posted) but for future reference, I leave mine in for the whole cycle, but set the rpm’s all the way down (400 is the lowest on mine) and adjust the temp depending on how much shrinkage I want. If you don’t have that option then washing on the wool/silk program does the same job although often no warmer than 40C.

Looks like it went well though, unless your infinitely better half flipped because of the towel… [emoji51]

good fit Mike

[Norrin]

Has anyone else had less inseam shrinkage than they were expecting?
After my usual pedantic procedure for a pair of loomstate jeans I only got 0.5" shrinkage.
Whereas it would normally yield 1.5 to 2".

[spitfiredealer]

Sounds like you didn’t get enough agitation or warmth in the wash. Mine shrank a little over a inch with a cold wash

Yeah I think I'll wash them again with a low spin at the end this time. 

[Norrin]

The last thing I want is a bit more shrinkage after I've got some good wear into them! ???

Thanks guys, The machine here is in a condo laundry room so the functions are very limited. So I removed them  before the final spin. The towels sadly have been lost to the denim Gods and and my wife appears to give zero shits. Which is great. I worry the thigh will be tight as hell now… and I’ve read  that not
Much thigh stretch can be expected.. we’ll See in the morning. They are still damp now... I’lll Wrestle
Them on in a few hours.

She’s a keeper! [emoji1]

Thighs should stretch out to pre shrink proportions, with wear. But you may have to work on it.

[Matty123]

She is, That’s for sure! I’ll work on the thigh stretch tomorrow as well.
