@Giles:

I got me a rusty hook too:

Nice Hook!

Have you treated the leather badge or whatever its called ?

[Giles]

1 application of Obeneufs Heavt Duty LP about 30 secs before photo taken.  Beats shamed me into actually caring about the patch…....

[Beatle]

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT

[Beatle]

also, Giles always has the fastest wallet fade

[Giles]

That's because I never take it out

[Beatle]

logic.

Got a size 32. These are pre-soak. Does anyone have the post soak measurements for a 32. The denim feels real good.

[elclintor]

hey buddy, i'll get you measurements right after i leave work… hang tight..

[cristeza]

No rush. Sit down and have a beer first.

[elclintor]

Just for reference.. here is my pre soak fit….

[LC_Miey]

@cristeza, those going to be big on ya..i'd say size down on..

Anyway it depends on how you want them to fit, 18oz denim doesnt shrink much but they can stretch alot.. I size up one for comfortable slim fit but after boiling hot soak, they still bit baggy on me..
mine are size 32 too

[LC_Miey]

I didnt take the measurement but here are some fit pics

after initial first hot soak, for few hours

here is after overnight boiling hot soak, i boiled water and pour them into pail and throw in the jeans

as you can see the fit doesnt change much…

[cristeza]

Thanks LC. Your fit is awesome. I weigh about 162 and am only getting bigger. I don't want them super tight. My size 31 beatle's are already too small for me.

[elclintor]

i was expecting more shrink than the end result.. In retrospect, I could have easily sized down one..

Current measurements after two soaks and a little over three months of wear:

Waist - 16.75"
Thigh - 11.5"
Knee - 8"
Hem - 7.75"

[cristeza]

Wow! Those are spot on the measurements I was hoping. Thanks el.

[elclintor]

No problem!

anytime….

[LC_Miey]

i just tossed them in 40c wash. will update with measurement and fit pics

[LC_Miey]

Okay here are the latest measurement, this is after one initial hot soak, one boiling soak, and machine wash at 40c :

Waist:  31.5"
Thigh : 11.4"
Hem : 7.8"
Inseam : new at 36" –> current at 34.6"

except the waist, the numbers dont actually differ much from elclinator, so yeah size 32

[Giles]

Size 33.  About 3 months solid wear.  One hot soak.  Waist now measures 34.

[LC_Miey]
