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

So they have a from loader her where I’m staying. How do u recommend I wash these? I’m noob to front loading machinesI 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]
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 is, That’s for sure! I’ll work on the thigh stretch tomorrow as well.

@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

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….
"Holy shit, I can't breathe"

"Maybe I could have sized down one"

To ihuk for hemming. Is anyone sending these to railcar? -
Do indigoproof. Rain's attention to detail and prepaid shipping label system is great.

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.
