I lost fifteen pounds in the past two weeks. So like I'm trying to see if I can get the waist back closer to a size 36 and give these a much needed hand-wash. They were very ripe after my activity this weekend

Steady on mate, this is a family show.

(Try taking them all the way off next time)

Check the DM I sent you

Update since the last wash. I have no idea how many wear days now.

[Woohoozippy]

I'm curious if most of you folks would soak these before wearing them and if so, how hot?

These are sanforised but unwashed, so there is shrinkage in the fabric. You should soak, but you can get away with not doing it. I’m of the mind that it is the only thing to do.

As for temps, i run the the tap as hot as it goes… normally between 40 and 50C.

@neph93 is the oracle for these things, and I would do exactly the same

12 weeks in the rotation and the break-in is finally getting somewhere.  The waist has went from nearly unwearable to a perfect fit.  Electric blues have entered the chat.  Whiskers, Stacks & combs are settling in.  The only thing holding this pair back is all the insane shit Haraki has in the pipeline (XHSii, 21oz ib, 19oz LHT 16oz slub )

Coming along nicely.

Wait there's XHSii coming now?

She can be a real pain in the butt, but she's a cutie and has a lot of spunk:
