    I thought Sam did a shrink test

    @Sam:

    Shrink test results on a tag 34, 40 degrees and no spin.

      Apologies…. my bad. I forgot these were released raw and assumed they behaved like regular 21oz aftee having been thoroughly sanforised. I have a pair, but they were the sample and arrived pre-shrunk.

        No worries. But back to the question at hand should I wash them now to get the shrinkage out of the way?

          That is the safest move, although I’ve never done it.

              That would do. Although very hot bathtub and a bit of agitation would be best. You’ll minimise the risk of abrasion marks that way.

                Damn…they look interesting. Another one that I missed.

                Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                Well, I have others.

                  Followed your advice, turned boiler temp to max, and soaked the jeans in very hot water and agitated.

                  Lost just over an inch from waist and 1 3/4 inches from seam.  Hopefully the jeans will get back to me from IH HQ in time for a trip to the lake district tomorrow but the courier is more than likely to come 5 minutes after we depart.

                    Damn @dj that’s good work. Fingers crossed for the a timely delivery. Enjoy The Lakes too, been about 25 years since I was last up that way.

                      We are one of the last places on our DPD drivers route so unlikely. It’s only two nights away so won’t be long until I get to wear them.

                        Excited to hear your conclusions. The denim really is stunning.

                          So happy with these. I like the beige, it’s similar to the pronto denim. Got them hemmed so they have a 2.5” turn up to show off the contrast. Will be a great addition to the wardrobe, I had William Lennon make me some black oiled suede chukka boots and these trousers go so well with them. I also got the obl black belt in the sale and they compliment the jeans and boots well too.

                          Fabric is surprisingly soft from the outset, will be interested to see how it fades.

                          Fit is comfortable, I cycle quite a lot and have large thighs so it’s great to find jeans that fit.
