      …@Oaktavia because my pair fit great right off the bat I soaked them in the laundry tub in warm water for about an hour and then hung 'em up to dry. That was it. I'd shout out to Reuben for any more info but that worked great for me. Good luck! 😉

          I say get them in hot water ASAP and get rid of all shrinkage so you can wash without worry.

            The waist will stretch back out an inch though, right?

                  @neph93 could you kindly confirm this? My pair arrives Friday! Want to have them ready for the weekend.

                    And yes, will stretch to pre-shrink size or a tad more….

                        @Filthy:

                        I wanted to post an update and answer my own question regarding the XHS BB denim:
                        @Filthy:

                        That's awesome. Do they have a soft hand or is it rough?

                        After wearing these for a couple wears, they definitely do have that velvety XHS hand that I love and admire so much. They feel every bit as thick and heavy as the other pairs of XHS I have owned. The denim has a very smooth hand compared to the 21oz SBG pair that I have them to compare them to. I think I wore that SBG pair about nine months or so and they are unwashed. The 21oz denim kind of has an almost corduroy feel to them and the XHS feels smoother and more dense and velvety. I love it.

                        I got the tagged size 36 waist to stretch from a 35.7 (soaked) to exactly a 37 (both the Self Edge laid flat method, and IH method).

                        I am so pleased with these jeans and am very grateful to have them!

                            I am sure you're gonna love them. I had another inquiry about these too so I wanted to let everyone know about how awesome these are…just make sure you soak them because they will bleed black like crazy. I would not put these in the washer until they are very well broken in because they will definitely get marbling and "washer marks" I think I rinsed them five or six times after I did two boiling hot soaks.

                            I would try to get as close to an inch of vertical shrink in the inseam as you possibly can.

                            If you do plan on washing these in a washer to shrink I would follow Haraki-san's ancient wisdom found here:

                              Cool, cool. I will hot soak them in the guest bathtub tomorrow afternoon. Hang dry em outside and wear them as much as I am able to this weekend. I am getting super stoked my guy.  . .schools were closed today due to flooding and my idle mine is racing!

                                        The waist is a little loose pre soak, so I think these will do just fine for me. They are in the bathtub in hot water currently. Can't wait to start this process.
