did a hot soak for an hour and a half and got it to shrink a good amount. i think there's a little bit more shrinking left in the denim though.

If anyone is wondering SE is having a sale on the 1103EXs and the 1101s… FUCK, really wish it was a couple of weeks ago when I wasn't about to buy a lens.

[mankarat]

6 months on and off.. I bought this at usd465.. and now at just on usd230, it really a bargain..
1103ex

[Seul]

Those are beautiful!..

[beautiful_FrEaK]

they are indeed!

230 is a real steal but I've got enough heavy weight denim already

Soaking the 1103ex yesterday was such a big ordeal.  This thing is super heavy and freakin destroyed my bath tub with indigo stain after the hot soak.  This thing was bleeding indigo all over my house and couldn't find a decent place to hang it.  Finally decided to use the spin cycle on the washing machine.  Had to do a major clean-up before the wifey came home.  There are still trails of indigo blood on the carpet but she seems to not notice it.

Overall, they're drying now and will head over to SE to get them chain stitched.  I picked up size 32 (tag size) and shrinked about
1.5 inches in waist and 2 inches in length.  I tried them on while damp and the experience was less gruesome than when I tried
fitting into a damp 634SR.  I saved my fingers by wearing some latex gloves to button them up.  Fit is a bit slimmer than the SRs so I'm looking forward to post some pics when I get em back.

The strike of gold in the selvedge thread looks super cool.
