@Matt just for clarification, it shrinks when it gets wet right. So i was thinking if i wore it in the tub it would shrink to fit. Im hoping once i take it off wet it wont shrink too much further? Is that logical? Ive seen people on youtube soak for 45 to 1 hour. Is that not necessarily needed?

@cyclops I did it with my first pair amongst the excitement, then quickly realised it's just a massive pain in the arse for not much gain. Had basically the exact same results with doing it the normal way

@cyclops The waist will stretch back out to where it started very quickly, and then some, even if you wash them hot in my experince.

@cyclops. Yes they shrink with water, but the temperature of the water matters alot. Doing what @Matt suggested soaking them in cold water will yield very little shrinkage if any and they will go right back where they are now within an hour of wear. Wearing them while soaking is a pain in the arse and unnecessary unless you really like the experience.

Ok thanks heaps all! Really appreciate the feedback and support!

Edit: soaked it today! Dried it and everything buttons up! You guys were right, no need to do the getting in the tub thing! Once again thanks everyone for your input

When did IH switch from sewn-in cloth placards/ hanger tags on the pocket to the paper ones we see today on the IH-666-XHS - 25ox? Recently acquired this pair that still has ones sewn in and trying to date them. Thanks for any input.
