@Marc2706 this is the way

…and it gets worse with time. One day you’ll wake up, make a journey to Gosport to hang out with the people on here, and feel the need to do it repeatedly.

Damn this place

Ahhhh today I got my Slubby jeans from Rivet and Hide. It is really a beauty, I love it. Beautiful color and haptic. I wanna use the jeans for the Indigo Invitational, I have to wait to wear it until September. I hope I can wait…….!

@denim-dawg Looking great! How many days on these dude?

[Marc2706]

I know it is a first world problem but I don‘t wanna destroy the denim of this wonderful 777-SLB jeans. Maybe you can give me an advise:
My jeans in size 34 is now a bit too wide and I would like to wash it with 60°C to shrink it. Is it harmful for the denim?
Thanks in advance for your help!

@Marc2706 There is no exact science to how the washing will impact the shrinkage and the denim. There will be people on here who regularly wash their items on 60 degrees out of preference. The higher temperature and agitation will likely result in more indigo loss in the wash, but shouldnt damage the denim per se if they are washed inside out, on their own and then removed upon completion to hang dry. Most people try and scale up the temperature on each wash to see if they can achieved any desired shrinkage. Do note, any area which is put under pressure with following wear will likely stretch back out over time.

@AdamC thanks a lot Adam! Your answers is helping me a lot!

[denim-dawg]

@jiminstitches Thanks pal! Love these slubbies! This they have had one soak and one machine wash, probably arond 150 days wear?

As I've taken some pictures of these to put in a repair request, I thought I'd post them in here too.

A little under 2 years of fairly regular wear, rotating them with a few other pairs depending on the weather.

@Knoy all done and on their way back! Lovely fades on these

@AdamJ
they seem to have crazy leg twist
is that normal for slb ?

[AdamJ]

@Daniel-San can happen, i have it on my broken twill 14oz'ers too

[Daniel San]

@AdamJ
crazy , thought only the 19oz have it .

[Giles]

Any twill (even broken twill) will have inherent twist off the loom. Sanforisation reduces it, so too does"skewing" post weave. The only way to not get leg twist (in some degree), is to use a plain weave, then it ain't denim.....

@AdamJ Amazing! Looking forward to getting these back in the rotation and keeping those fades going.
