I just bought the last pair of Annie's from Self-Edge!!! Ohh the things we do for love!  I'm going to go cry into my wallet and hope the tears turn into money to pay for these…

Assuming they fit, you won't care how much you paid after putting them on the first time.

I know the last of the material will be used on the 634S Raw, but will this cut ever be used again?

Just got my box from Self Edge.
Last pair of SR's!!
Even better than my sample pair!..slimmer thigh
But not hemmed
Now I'm totally deflated…have to send them back and wait......

But still wearing my samples...updates in a week or two...

This situation brings up an interesting question:  Should you hem pre- or post-soak?

I'm leaning towards pre-soak.
Since I have to send them away, I have to fold them, and then they will be folded again on the return shipment.
I don't want to have fades on the fold lines while they're sitting in the box

What do you think?  I'm pretty sure about the hem length with 2-2.5" shrinkage, so I'm only concerned with the fold lines during shipping.  I think they will ship better pre-soak?  Does this seem reasonable?

[dave]

I'd do it post soak so you know how much you want off.  If you do it pre soak, you're just guessing…

Also, they don't shrink that much.  Mine were Japanese length, so I think 35 (someone correct me if I'm wrong).  After 9 months they're 34.5

[Finn666]

always hem POST-soak id say… you never know how many inches the denims REALLY gonna shrink...so yeah. post-soak would be you savest bet!

dont worry about the fades during folding, cuz there will be non! if there are still some foldmarks visible, dont very cuz they will fade away with wear anyway ;)...

[Guest]

I'm glad I asked
Post-soak it is.
I worry too much so I don't worry too little…
Gratitude to dave and Finn!

[jacoavlu]

they've been folded up for a long long time already

[Giles]

I always hem pre soak.

I was just wondering….

what kind of shrinkage is there to be expected if I do very hot soak in thigh and hem width?

My annies are soaked once and one delicate cycle in 40°C, no spinning.  I didn't get any shrinkage, I think,  widthwise and just barely something in lenght....
