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….

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!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…..

…oh yeah, heavy duty.

…a little salve for the OCD!

That double chain stitch looks great!

Thanks @RoxRocks86 I love how kind and friendly and upbeat you always are. It always makes me happy to see when you reply.
It was agony on the waist. But the 1st full day's wear today. Posted this for in a year when I am trying to figure out how long I have had them.
