@Kasi
first attempt to soak them in the baby tub
while getting the pair , Gretchen was faster !
ok now their soaking, 40 degrees
-
soaked for about one hour and then washed with 40 degrees, special jeans washing program
started stretching right after wash, maybe it will be a bit easier to wear in the beginning

@Kasi
Just checked measurements !
Inseam shrinkage is 1,3" , wow ! Didn’t expect that much !
The rest is pretty much the same .
Tried them on , all buttons easy to close
Waist is perfect, think the stretching after washing was a good idea !
It’s around 38 degrees outside ( 100F ) , did a short walk around the house
Unbelievable how I started sweating, almost didn’t get them off .
Holy smokes, this will be challenging
Now they leave for hemming -

Yes I know, that’s why I use mink oil . From my experiences they will not get that dark. Stay pretty much like they are now
Tried Obenaufs too, but made the patch much to dark. Not cool
Here’s the tag from my 18oz vintage , washed a lot and used mink oil . Perfect in my opinion

could not resist and wore them today as it was not that warm.
Really like the low rise cut , and even if the thighs are pretty tight now I think after breaking them in ,they will be
perfect.
the combs are pretty big and thick, specially on the left side where they overlap. My Question is will they
get smaller when they get softer ? Think the length is ok !?
What are your experiences?
-
Hemming was after soak and wash
Ok Mo , what would you recommend then ?
They are not too long ? What do you think ?
When I do a little cuff , the problem seems to be less
First XHS , that’s why I am asking
