                  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.

                          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.

                                Ha! When I read stuff like this, I remember why I love being a member of a forum replete of denim junkies.

                                  If I somehow come up with the money for the 1003exs, I am so getting another pair this time I will go SD1 (well.. 29-30 is my usual size so I will be going with the smaller waist size).

                                  Just hope the 29 isn't gone!

                                    My 1003ex arrived, and after a week eating extravagantly in Ireland (loads of bread and seafood in epic portion sizes) I am NOT doing a fit pic, they are going to have to sit on the shelf for a couple of weeks.

                                    Question though - in the raw state they seem to have a very high rise, does this settle down a bit post-soak?

                                      I picked up a pair of 1101 in the recent SE sale
                                      the denim is very interesting
                                      super rough
                                      not crazy about the arcs though so I I adjusted them a little
                                      sure not to last
                                      yeah but still

                                        Damn right, they are. My god, I've been doing regular calisthenics just to try and loosen them up a bit.

                                          yeah I could have got a size bigger but the full leg cut steered me down one
                                          I feel like they'll stretch out nicely though
