      if you want all the shrinkage out of the way, the best to do is to give them a wash imo…then you should be good to go...

        I'd say 2 hot soak would be quite sufficient..

        I did 2 hot soak at first pre wear and then after a couple of days, I did another 2 boiling soak( note: patch gone) and the measurements did not change much after the boiling soak…

        here is after 2 hot soaks

        and here is after the second boiling soak

          this was my third soak.

          the denim is an unknown to me & i was just iffy on if all shrinkage was taken care of.  My first soak was when i got them.  then i wore them on and off for a little bit to see what i thought about them. after a few weeks i decided they were keepers and needed a hem.  at this point, i gave them a gentle soak so the folks working on them wouldn't have to deal with my sack sweat and took them to get taken care of.  when i got them back i wore them & just felt like they might still have a bit off give, so i did a boiling soak as a i'm- tired -of -playing- with -you- all & the result was, minimum change, if any to be honest.

          they look pretty much the same to me, but the patch turned into overdone bacon.

            From what I've read, the boil soak will now be put in the "unnecessary" category. (Thanks.) Tough break, man.

                Thanks for the feedback guys, sounds like I've done what I can.  Now it's time for a hem.

                  yes Shoreman, from my experience the boil soak is not needed & unecesary. to think of it, i should of recordeded the entire fiasco.

                  ***idea for next video.

                  Lord G, i might take you up on that patch, but first i have to see about a bit more trouble i can get into in these jeans

                  now that's customer service, i boil my jeans he gives me another patch

                          Not great pics but here you go.  As soon as I saw these pics I shortened the cuff a bit to lengthen them out.  I've never been so up in the air about which pair to wear next, these or the indigo BBs.

                                Thanks, LC.  I actually went +1 after seeing your fit.  The top block is a little weird since it's still pretty stiff and a size up but I figure it'll get better as it softens.

                                  True…i was having the same experience with the top block.. it will definitely get better once it softens up especially since the heavy pockets ( lined) push the fabric on the arse area up...making the seat area sits bit weird for the first few wears...

                                  good to see another loose fit on devils ! 🙂

                                          Shrinkage - do these snug up much in the width, apart from the waist - how muh change is there in the seat and legs?

                                          How much do they actually shrink in length - IH says approx 2", SE says 2.5", and reading Giles' experience, about 1.5"

                                          Thanks.

                                            ^^ the measurements differ depending on the method of shrinking,wash/soak/hot/warm..

                                            I've posted in this thread somewhere the measurement of my size 32, after 2 hot soak and 2 boiling soak…i think the shrinkage is probably much done.. maybe you wanna check that one out for reference...

                                            EDIT: here's the measurement size 32:

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