      I’m trying really hard to sit this out…. not sure I will make it. I’m a 25oz guy and really really digging these.

      Needless to say I’m watching the stock levels on 36 😃

        Have you given up the resistance? 😉

        Ummm, yes. According to The Borg, it’s futile anyway [emoji1]Sized down to 33 too. Should be interesting…

        Don’t know how I missed this. Fek yes

        Maybe so. Maybe not

          It’d irresponsible of me to own anymore denim than I already do. But no, I wasn’t entirely serious.

                  Currently trying to think of how I can sell this purchase to Maddy…
                  My list of unused excuses are:

                  2yrs anniversary on Wednesday...
                  Valentine's Day soon...
                  Her annual vacay to Japan...

                  I should be good to go! But if you see a black eye in my fit pics, don't mention it, lol

                      Forgiveness rather than permission, right? Plus black and blue just matches the pants!

                      But in all seriousness, I’ve devoted the past few months to stabilizing the finances (after the birth of our second). This won’t interrupt the financial plan, and I want them, enough said.

                      Pics when they get here.

                        Me too. They do “soften” quickly. But that’s subjective I think 🙂

                          Bad pic. But these almost hold their shape horizontally now they have been soaked and dried. Getting ready to put them on now. Already broke a finger nail trying to button the fly a couple times. Haha xD

                            Ever since my first pair of Iron Heart 25 XHS I have wanted a pair with small leg openings. So I really owe you one Crew, @Giles  and @Alex and Boss.

                            Also this denim feels super awesome and heavy. Like XXXHS. Thanks so much guys.

                                Twice hot-soaked?

                                Mine should arrive on Monday. Pumped!

                                  This time I soaked for about 5 hours and changed the water to make it scalding hot 3x times. Long enough to take mom to a doctor's appointment and out to dinner. Then I put a fan blowing on them overnight.

                                  They did shrink quite a bit. They feel overall much more snug than when I first tried them on.

                                  Also I didn't fuck up the patch xD

                                    After the soak they fit like they were measured and tailored for me.

                                      Nice!  Red Wing oil on the patch just before the soak?

                                        Yes. Just a thin coat. Don't overdo it. I just smeared it on with my thumb because it is the size of the top of the bottle. A little goes a long way. Also Wesco bee oil works super-awesome.

                                        I kept it above the water though. It did slowly get wet as the water soaked through the waist. But as long as it isn't constantly under the hot water it will be fine.

                                          My hot water doesn't get as hot as yours, I bet. Mine only goes to 120F.  How hot is your hot-soak water?
