@Kasi
first attempt to soak them in the baby tub
while getting the pair , Gretchen was faster !

ok now their soaking, 40 degrees

[Kasi]

Cute kid 🥰

Good luck

[Daniel San]

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

[Daniel San]

@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

Did a little treatment with mink oil to soften the patch after washing

[Kasi]

@Daniel San

Nice results

Be careful don’t oil the patch very often

Can darken it more darker

[Daniel San]

@Kasi
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

[Kasi]

Thanks for that

Shall use mink oil…
I have Obenaufs use for belt only.

I've avoided using obenaufs on belts because that can cause them to become softer and stretch. Though I prefer a very thick and stuff belt so ymmv.

Interesting to know..

You learn something new everyday

Thanks for that

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?

[Kasi]

One the honeycomb set in place they stay like that..

That why I always leave mine hemming to end after they been soak and wash..

To be on the safe side.

Main concern should be no builder crack showing

[Daniel San]

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

[Kasi]

@Daniel San

They perfectly fine..

Maybe cause your not use to them.

But then if you cuff them. Or maybe Tokyo cuff will look amazing with boots
