Very nice

Measures are so good for me that I might be able to buy it without having to bitch at the crew for once

RESTOCK

[mudhogen]

Size 36 secured. Wanted these since trying on a size too small last April

[mudhogen]

Fit is great on these. Will most likely get them hemmed even though the selvedge is super cool

@mudhogen the accessories in this photo tell so many stories... and ask so many questions... !!

[Slash]

@mudhogen Looks great honestly

Was kind of aiming for this fit while ordering, but I think I sadly made my first judgement error

Since I've let those hemmed and cannot return, I'm tempted to try to shrink it some.

@ShopatIronHeart : How would you guys go on with this ? Try to wash at 40C° or directly 60C° ? To give an idea I ordered a 35, but should have gone for 34, so it could shrink a full size.

Thanks guys ! If other members have idea's, welcome

Won't happen.....See product details:

Fabric Focus
One-Washed

• Post construction, we wash the completed garment in an aggressive industrial washing machine. This process removes virtually all potential shrinkage.
• No further shrinkage is expected when washed according to our care guidelines

@Giles Hey Giles thx for taking the time to answer.

I read the product page and your excerpt but it says "....when washed according to our care guidelines"; I was thinking about greatly ignoring those

Ok joke aside, I guess I'll just try and see then, could be interesting for other members down the road

[Giles]

Worth a go, but I don’t think you will see much. But please report back…

Edit; just saw @Giles reply to @Slash above...I'll go for 40C, should be all good.

@Alex
(or anyone else that feel they have the answer, please chip in)

Hi there,
copped myself a pair of 721 Chinos a few days ago. Was lucky to stumble across (a long time missing) size 32 in your shop.
Before I will take them up, I will give them a machine wash.
The care label says "40 C wash" and your Care Guidelines on the product page it states:
"We recommend washing this garment at 30°C** with a low (or no) spin cycle."

I assume it would be safe to wash them at 40°C, but would you advise otherwise? They will be washed numerous times over time due to their colour (beige/khaki). And cotton does shrink over time, so just as well get most of the shrinkage out already now...?

Cheers!

Thanks for the chocolate by the way! Much appreciated.

@Adero Hey man, I'll try to help, but please understand this is my experience only, and you should treat an item of this price nicely imo

If you read 2 or 3 posts above, I asked if this could be shrunk because I did sized it too big, and the answer was that it would be difficult.

So I did try to wash at 30C and 40C with low spin (400) and the damn thing would effectively not move

I could only shrink it by putting it in the dryer at medium heat for 25 minutes (kids don"t do this at home !)

Long story short I think you're very safe at 30C or 40C !

Sorry @Giles , I forgot to report the data

For those interested, with the dryer, The item went from a size 35 to 34 only in waist and knee, and it lost 2 cm in the inseam.

All other measurements did not move at all.

Again be very careful ! Medium heat is not nothing and I did pull the item out of the dryer every 5 minutes from the 10th minute to measure it Since I was in a public place (I don't own a dryer) I let you imagine how I did look...

[Alex]

@Adero it is safe to wash them up to 40, but to be safe when it comes to shrinkage, we don't reccomend above 30.

[Adero]

@Slash @Alex

Thanks both of you for replying superduper swift.
They are already in the machine now, at a 40C cycle. Couldn't wait..lol.
I will report back with measurements, for others knowledge and for potential future use.
Am not really worried as by experience, nothing really happens at 40 anyway, but thought I could just as well ask.
Cheers.

This made me giggle...

[Adero]

Ok, I’m reporting back after a 40°C wash cycle and hang-drying: nothing really happened. The "most noticeable" changes occurred in the waist (which is understandable am thinking as I had tried them on) and the rear rise, which both differed by about 0.5 cm.
The remaining measurements are negligible, within just a few millimetres of change, so nothing worth mentioning.
It also comes down to how precisely I took the original measurements.
Now lets pray I don't eff-up the actual shortening...
