          The two day soak-a-thon is in the final stretch. They got the intial soak to soak all over, a boiling hot water soak (to address the inseam shrinkage), dryed overnight, then another 4 hour boiling soak today.

          This is them drying on my box fans right now.

          I checked last night and they shrunk almost two inches from the top of the waist to the bottom of the hem, in total overall length. And the inseam shrank just over an inch, from a 37.2 to about a 36 length.

          They're too wet to get a final visual. But I will post that and some fit pics tomorrow when they are bone dry.

            The jeans aren't completely dry but dry enough I can measure them.

            I'm pleased with the soaking results.

            Inseam 37.2 post 36

            Lost 2.5 inches from top to bottom

            And just over an inch in the inseam

            About 1/4 to 1/2" in overall width

            The waist didn't really shrink at all because the majority of it didn't get wet.

            And the patch is completely pristine which was my goal, and the waist is just right. I'll have a struggle at first but after a few days it'll be perfect.

                  I did a 48 hour stint in my XHS enough to get them somewhat comfy. It's interesting to me how the crease patterns are almost identical to my lefties. Now that I got the XHS broken in I've reverted to wearing them by day and the 19L as my PJs.

                    I wanted to post even an unremarkable pic here so I can see how long I've been wearing these like a year from now. I put about 5 miles walking on them today. I have under 10 wears on them so far.

                      I'm starting to get some noticable fades on my XHSib. In a relatively short period of time. My uncle gave me a couple generic Ambien pills so sleeping in them has been fantastic. It's been really cold here and my house is poorly insulated so they are really toasty and snuggly to sleep in.

                        Been wearing them non-stop around the clock since my last post. I think they are ready for a soak. They're getting pretty dirty.

                            Check back tomorrow friend 😊

                            Tepid water and about a tablespoon of laundry sanitizer…. For a 40 minute soak. I ran the sweeper attachment on them to get a lot of the dirt/dust off them first.

                                  @Heavy_blue I tried to get you a couple pictures but the sun isn't having it today…

                                  But they more or less look the same.

                                      I am relieved they didn't shift at all. Because usually my previous experience is that they did no matter what. But I seems to have gotten out all of the shrinkage with my brutal soaking and drying routine-from the onset without having to put them in the washer and dryer, preserving the crispness of the denim and the pristineness of the patch. They aren't clean, but they don't smell. I don't mind dirt from the Earth, just dirt from other animals and people really grosses me out.

                                          Me too. This is why I wanted my last pair of IH for probably a long time to be this particular denim. It is super-duper 👌
