    @hgering27 @neph93:

    The facts of the matter are that soaking lubricates the cotton threads in such a way that they puff up and the constructional stitching integrates better.

    The machine wash creates the agitation needed to contract the fibres making the denim 23oz per square yard. This also means shrinkage.

    Following instructions will get the shrinkage out, strengthen the fabric and the stitching. Not followimg them may mean stitching popping out, early tears appearing at creased points, or nasty shrink related surprises at a later date.

        My washer is a wildcard so I am a bit paranoid about putting them in the machine and need some advice.

        Just wash straight from the soak on the lowest temp, with the least spin possible.

            No need. It’s the agitation you’re after primarily.

                quick update:

                theyve been soaked, washed, dried and on my legs. After about 10 minutes and a bruised thumb I got them buttoned and they are absolutely incredible. Glad I went with the 555 over the 888 in these, and I think for the first time in a long time, I am going to go with a cuff instead of a hem.

                  Let's see some fit pics! I always prefer a cuff, especially with heavyweights.

                      I'll get some pics up this weekend. I plan on wearing these as much as physically possible. I have a little ritual with new denim where I typically wear them for the first 30 days no rotating, and then I get back to some of the other stuff.

                              @Heavy_blue thanks man! The OD jacket is probably my favorite jacket I own. It’s a tank. I’ll be wearing this combo a lot

                                  Didn’t know that…  was sceptical putting my jeans in the machine a few months back so soaked them twice when I first had them thinking it’s doing the same job.

                                  So soaked them again yesterday inside out for 1hour and put them straight in the machine 30c No spin.

                                  Results they have tightened up lovely lost half inch in the length and 0.8 in the waist
                                  Perfect fit now  🙂
                                  Wearing them today they have relaxed in the waist already nice and comfy…

                                          Honest opinions, how are these looking?

                                          Coming from the 666, the higher rise and roomier top block feels a little strange.. and I can't help but feel like they are puffing out a bit around the thighs...

                                          They're my normal size (34) and I'd probably trade for a 33 if I'd bought direct, but got these from the marketplace. Worth keeping? I know the denim will drape better as it breaks in but I'm not sure...

                                          They've been soaked already according to the seller.
