      @Kasi:

      Soak them in hot water…. U get results

      Yeah, I just went for it. I want to get as much shrink out as I can, even if it means a few weeks of discomfort. I will know tomorrow…

        The waist will be uncomfortable for a couple wears, though you'll knock out a bunch in the first wear if you just power through.  I think the overall fit benefits from getting the shrinkage out of the rest of the fabric, also making sure you know where the hem and knee creases will settle
        "Middle seam in the crotch" is a lot of joinery coming together, I wouldn't worry about it, yours looks good.  Gonna post some pics/changes post soak?

          If you want to get the shrink out of the way, you’re going to have to agitate them a good bit. Not just soak them.

            @Joberwocky Yep, will definitely post some after pics once they are dry and I can get them back on, haha. Are you in Philly?

            @xtcclassic OK, thanks. I did soak them in the washer and let them agitate on delicate for a bit, but not too much…so we will see.

                @Joberwocky Nice, I’m right outside the the city. Annapolis is not a bad place to be living though.

                  OK, here are some post hot soak/mild agitation pics. Dried hanging up overnight inside and outside in the sun today. They are much tighter in the waist and very stiff, haha, but I was able to get them buttoned and sit down. So, I guess that’s not too bad, but I don’t think I’m getting my phone/wallet/knife in there for a bit.

                      Looks good @Soleamp , you got them on so half the battle out of the way.  I agree, gotta log some time, they stretch back out in the waist nicely.  Personally I had to get used to the coin pocket before it was broken in, the extra 25oz in my right pocket felt funny at first

                            @xtcclassic Show us your 666 XHS. You were one of my inspirations (from the pictures you posted) for me to get this cut. I'd be keen to see where your denim stands on the fades.

                                @xtcclassic @MrSmith Thanks!  I've been wearing them the last few days in the heat, so it's been an adventure!

                                  @the246guy they probably haven’t progressed much from whenever I posted pics the last time, I only wear them during the winter and I can only wear them 2 days a week so they’re on more of a mammalian evolutionary schedule rather than a viral one.  😃 I’ll try to get some pics up soon-ish.

                                      About five years in but lots of rotation so not that much wear. Fades starting to come through but they're in that perfect soft way now.  The weather has turned, I couldn't be happier..  Washed when dirty, always cold, always hung up without a spin, and of course never ever a dryer–-so coming along.  If I live as long as these jeans it will be a miracle.

                                        It is Day 24 and I made up a small wear tracker as shown below. Not a neat solution, but helps me keep count of how long I have been wearing them.

                                            666 size 33 arrived and will need to be exchanged for 888 or 777 depending on feedback from the IH guys. My thighs definitely did not fit the 666 cut. The 25oz denim won this time… on to something different.

                                            Size issues aside... the quality of the 25oz denim is insane. It is like folding cardboard.
