I spent the last two weeks in Croatia at planning sessions in our HQ, one night I made a tragic oversight and agreed to go to raggaeton night with the LATAM crew at some basement club in Zagreb, not thinking about how smoking indoors is still allowed there. Woke up in the morning and all I could smell was cigarette smoke in my room, smelled my 400+ wear 5 year old 777s and they STUNK.
Got home on the weekend and threw them in the washing machine, took them out, still smelled bad, washed again, still smelled but less, just finished drying them and while they do still smell, I think that it should turn out okay after some extended ventilation hanging out in the open.
Anyway long story short I realized that they are looking absolutely stellar after the two washes so figured I would share some pics, I absolutely love these pants, my gateway drug to the greater world of Iron Heart.

A dumb question, I know, but I need help.
I hand-washed my pair with a quite vigorous agitation in a warm water (around 45°-50°C) like 1/2 ago. The fabric became even more denser, which I honestly like because it creates an interesting (1970's alike vintage) fading pattern.
But also the length lost about an inch getting almost to my ankle.
I tried to stretch them back: both when wet and when dry, didn't work much at first.
UPDATE: after multiple experiments the workaround is after the wash to stretch separately:- the area from thigh to knee;
- the are from knee to hem
with twisting to the left and to the right.
The length got back to the initial 33''

@Lowlander they look outstanding

@Lowlander wow those combs are reverberating and vibrating in and out like circular sound waves. Amazing work!

@Oaktavia thanks man! I hadn't thought of it that way yet, but I guess you're right!

@Lowlander like water ripples
