Logged on 3 minutes after the drop and the 38's are gone? And now it's another, what, year? Oof
Kind of disillusioned that it's a wait of upwards of 360 days because I was 180 seconds late
-
@Juan-Grande where are you located? If I were you I’d do a quick google search to see which retailers have some left
-
Damn, I didn’t realise how quickly they were going to go. Thought I’d have at least a few hours

Multiple retailers have plenty in stock in size 38 including self edge , mild blend and rivet and hide. No need to be " disillusioned ".

@Juan-Grande sorry mate. If we thought they would have gone that fast, we would have ordered more..

How are these supposed to fit pre soak? I tried some on and they fit well. They were a pretty slim fit everywhere and what I would like. I tried the next size up and they were roomy. If these stretch back out to the pre soak fit I would not want to go with the larger size. However the size that fits well once soaked would be a pretty tight squeeze. In that case would a cold soak be advised or just wait for a restock and try to get measurements that are slightly bigger?
-
@jpvisual. They will stretch back to pre soak size. Amd yes cold soak will minimize the shrinkage
-
@yannis ok thanks!
-
You are welcome. The only thing you will not get back in any shrinkage in the inseam. So if you are planning to hem just hem an inch linger and that will get you covered
-
@yannis ok great. Does the XHS denim stretch out a little more from the pre-soak fit & measurements if put under stress (waist / top block, thighs). Like I said pre soak fit it just about perfect. They do slightly ride up my butt though so hoping this will go away. Thanks!
-
@jpvisual the stretch is greater than the shrinkage so the will be a net increase in measurements after the soak and the wear.
Be aware that while a cold soak will minimise shrinkage, the potential for shrinkage remains in the fabric. So a wash at 30C down the line may mean they shrink some more.
There is a good argument for a hot soak straight away to get all the shrinkage out. Then you’ll have a day or two of discomfort while they stretch out. After that you’ll be golden.
-
@neph93 ok this is good to know thanks! I was thinking of doing cold first just to see how much I get. A little concerned about shrinking too much with a 30c soak/wash, but sounds like it's necessary? I never soak or wash anything over 30c anyway.
-
@neph93 ok thanks!

Just ordered a tag 34 from Rivet and Hide. Thanks to Graham for sizing advice, and to folks on here who've posted info. So with 888 21s, 888 21 SBGs and a pair of beat up 555 21s, I'm good to go. I hope the step up from 21oz to 25 isn't a bridge too far for me
-
@Richard you will love them
-
@Richard It's crazy it's only 4oz difference, but feels substantial
-
-
@neph93 Well, put like that, it's far less daunting
I found the 14oz 777 less than pliable, and hoping that this won't be the case and that had more to do with sizing and the low rise.
