@vaquero357 did you know Little House on the Prarie is my favorite show ever? The double chainstitch they just go around twice so there's more cushion for the pushin'

SHRINK YOU BASTASRDS!
They put me in the handicapped room at this hotel (because I am obviously mentally handicapped lmao) because I wanted a king size room on the first floor and I had to get it changed because it didn't have a tub.
-
IDK how but I think I got the inseam to shrink a whole inch… I hot soaked them twice and the blew a hairdryer on them for a half an hour
They were a tad over 33 before the soaks and now I am here. Hopefully this is good enough.
-
I tried to remove the hairdryer from another room so I could two at once. They're the wall mounted shits. So I did 15 minutes up each leg
-
The things we do for art… I got an inch of shrink on my 666-XHS but I also had to work for it. My other XHSibs got to .75 inch and I settled.
-
Did you stir the pot with a wooden ladle too?
This is quite the xhs shrink adventure. Super stoked you got em & were able to take them with you! -
I want to see that 'double chainstitch hem job'! Sounds interesting.
I always go round mine twice. I'll take a pic later, you cant really tell, especially if the needle goes into the same hole of the second revolution, but it makes the hem a load stronger….

This is quite the xhs shrink adventure. Super stoked you got em & were able to take them with you!Thanks. I used some metal tongs. I was just trying to get hotter water. I turned the water heater down because we were have $350 a month gas bills.

I'm working out in the middle of nowhere and no phone worthy of taking pics with yet. Sorry

It took me exactly 23 minutes to get the top button done up on these.
my internal organs:

@weftyarn here's a fit pic. I had to stand on the bed to get this.
The legs fit me perfectly and the waist is super tight. But all my other pairs the waist gets too loose after a month. So these should be just right.
-
Great fit @Filthy ! Your dedication to get that top button buttoned is admirable. Do you get to wear these to work?
-
No, I wouldn't wear these at my daytime gig. I have to wear FR coveralls.
The nighttime one is a different story

Looking good @Filthy
Will you get them hemmed? A tight waist is always nice to start with and. My 888s 21OZ have stretched a ton, too.
-
They were already hemmed.
First night in the bag. The waist has loosened up so I can get a finger in there. This seems like it is gonna be the perfect cut for me. I love the fit of these and how they are slightly tight behind the knee and the taper of the leg. I also really like how the denim feels since it had been soaked.

I used navy thread, so hard to see, but these are double chainstitched…..
