Check their turnaround times. It might be quicker to UPS them back to IHUK.

Selfedge is really good and quick when it comes to hemming.

I love(d) Leg day.

Me too… especially now when rehabbing the knee is a permanent focus. It’s like having angry make-up sex [emoji15]

Tuesday is deadlift day. Fridays I squat happily into the weekend.

Indigo proof has always been very fast and inexpensive. And they do a bang up job. I
Will shoot them and email to see though.

Self edge doesn’t accept mail in for denim repairs and hemming. I’d have to
Drop them up and pick them up and I just ain’t got the time.

Indigo proof is the best in the states I think.

I was at SENY with Twin and they told him he could mail his jeans in.

[Matty123]

Oh word?  The website says no. Ok thanks

[Jett129]

It was Austin who told him that. I guess you should call. Full disclosure he was asking for a repair and not hemming. Maybe that makes a difference.

I notice the thighs shrank a ton, more than the waist in actual shrinkage. :o

[Matty123]

It could be that thighs for more agitation than the waist. And TBH these jeans are hard to measure after a soak They are so stiff and difficult to lay flat.  So the numbers could be off a little.

Please share some post soak fit pics, when you are able.  I have been eagerly watching this thread.

I will post some tonight when I get home from work. Sorry for delay 

[browniemcghee]

Nothing to be sorry about.  I am just excited because I think I am going to replace the 666XHS that my thighs grew out of with these…I certainly wasn’t trying to give you a hard time.  No hurry.
