@flavour79:

So looking at this post soak measurements will this type of denim stretch back to original measurements

Should do, more or less. It's not an exact science though.

Honestly mate, I think they are just about perfect for you

Yup that fit is spot on

[Yossarian]

Very envious of that fit, @spitfiredealer !

You washed twice, right? You had significantly more shrink than I plus a better fit in the same size as me (32), so I'm contemplating washing again for some more shrink.. Although I like the fit right now.

Thanks guys. Very happy with them.
Yes one cold one warm wash

Can I ask how cold and how warm the washes were?

[spitfiredealer]

Cold was the cold setting on the machine and warm was 40

Even if you wear the top button undone for a day it should help stretch them so you can get done up

Thanks ,
I put them on now . I am working from home today so I will wear top button undone for rest of the day. I am hoping for some stretch .

[Yossarian]

I think you’ll be fine. Mine have stretched quite a bit actually.

Considering a second hot wash to maybe get a little more shrink…

That teal chain-stitching looks great, kinda wish I had gone with a non-standard colour now…

So fellas, how realistic is it that I got all the shrinkage out with a 1.5 hour hot soak and a 40 deg wash without spin?

They shrank a little over 1 inch in the waist and 1.2 inches in length. Thighs maybe 0.4 inches.

I'll be washing 30 deg no spin whenever they need it from now on, so I don't know whether I'm safe to wear from now without the risk of shifting fades down the road.

[Mustafa911]

Mine shrink 2.5 inches in length  and about 1.75 in waist . Now the waist is stretched , more stretched than pre soak wear.
I think that you should do one more wash to be safe

That sounds about right, there may be some more but I doubt it… and if there is it'll be so little that it shouldn't impact on the fade patterns. If you only wash as 30C it won't matter anyway as you've already exposed the fabric to more than that.
