Pronto 15th Anniversary 16oz Slubby Selvedge Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans

[Anesthetist]

I think the waist came in a little but I dont recall the leg/seat changing all that much. Worth a shot though, the fabric keeps getting better and better.

@Matt:

You’d have to check with @Anesthetist though to see if the crotch shrinks back after he clearly stretched that area to its limit.

[Matt]

@Filthy:

Thanks Matt, I don't mind a larger waist because they are a high cut. But I was wondering if the legs/ass area would slim back up.

Yeah, I didn’t notice any there either.  Sorry.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Not very reassuring. I'll just wait until they are ready to be washed and deal with it

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I got these instead of soaking them. I'll let yinz know how I get on when I receive them. I love how they match the denim and stitch color. IDK if I'll be able to pull it off. But I don't mind for around the house.

Nice those are cool Mike- fit pic when they arrive!

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Absolutely

Hey Mike. I know I’ve gotten them to shrink up a bit. I know Matt got a very stretched to hell pair from me haha. I wouldn’t expect too much shrink from the original, it’s just mostly after you stretch them out, they can get back to close to where they came from. Hope this helps. They do have some mad stretch in the waist though

Haven't gotten the suspenders yet but I am just going without a belt today.

Here's my combs on them

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I love how the fly is doing this. Should be an interesting fade pattern eventually

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

@Oaktavia I have no idea when or if that store is going to ship those suspenders. So I got some other ones in the meantime that are made in Vermont. They are very 'over-engineered' (you can see the 2" wide straps and extra large powder coated hardware). They work very well and ane very comfortable.

[Oaktavia]

Oi! Looks proper Mike! Of course you chose blue!!!

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I like them a lot.  Yeah I had to go with blue. If I can convince myself that they don't look completely ridiculous I would definitely get a black pair from the same manufacturer.

[vaquero357]

…Oi! Oi! Oi! that's what I'm thinking. I'd go back. :o

[Fadez]

[mention]Filthy [/mention] I did a wash on my pair today. Here are the results

Initial waist 34.7”
Pre-wash - 36”
Post wash - 35”

Solid inch of play to be had even with my own measurements not being 100%

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Thanks a lot @Fadez

[Oaktavia]

I don't think they look rediculas.  Own it dude strut blue and black.

I had gotten the cuffs on these all muddy so I hand washed just the cuffs and then soaked them boiling water for sort of an experiment and they shrunk quite a bit. The opening went from a hair over 8.5" down to about an 8.2". Very interesting. The denim is now incredibly stiff where they were wet so I presume they will relax back out a tiny bit.
