I'm on the fence for getting one of these. I have a 777n in size 33 that fits perfect for me, would a size 33 also work with this much heavier fabric?

@goldstone0 Look great

@goldstone0 looks good post hot soak.
Question, do all areas stretch back out to pre-soak measurements? If so, what is advantage of hot soak vs cold soak?
-
@bluemantra the waist will but the inseam will not. It helps to keep the honeycomb fades stay in the same place when it is time for a wash when they get dirty.

@Oaktavia Thank you. Is there really a difference then in a cold vs hot soak/wash?

You are welcome. Yes, cold water with little to no agitation will cause less shrinkage than hot water with lots of agitation. Cotton fibers shrink more with heat and moving around.

@bluemantra I got just under an inch shrinkage in the inseam. I cold soaked for 45 min then put them on a 40C quick wash (about 35 min) with no spin (& no detergent). Today's the first day I've worn them properly as it's been 35C and super humid and they are more comfortable than I was expecting.

@twin epic!! And the jacket is killing my eyes by how amazing it is
-
@twin cool! Any idea on how many wears/washes?
-
@twin dang! That’s cool! I was thinking about going for a SBG pants but now I’m rethinking haha
