      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

      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]

        @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.

        should be a spin option button for no spin

        Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
        Well, I have others.

              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".

                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.  😢

                    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.

                      Maybe so. Maybe not

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

                            @Megatron1505 @neph93  Alright so I tried them on. They’re still damp… and they are snug but I can button them. Thighs are good to Go. Waist is tight as fk and will need to stretch for me not to look ridiculous! But I’m really happy with these. IH is bomb

                            Maybe so. Maybe not

                              Dude, they will be fine. Keep wearing them in rotation with another pair for a couple of weeks and the waist will stretch out. Mine went from….

                                          So after 2 days of wear these feel really comfy. Tempted to throw them in a warm wash with a bit more spin to get the remaining shrink out.
