@Sunnergren I saw your pre/post wash measurements. Did everything go back to post measurements including thighs and top block or just the waist? Thanks

[Sunnergren]

@jpvisual for my pair every measurement except inseam returned to pre wash. My waist actually surpassed pre-wash.

When I washed them two days ago I did 2 soaks, the first with a teaspoon detergent and the second without.

Then I washed them on delicate, 40 degrees, 400 spin, with small amount of detergent.

To be absolutely sure I got every shrink I could I washed them one more time, same programming of the machine but without detergent.

After drip dry, to bone dry, my measurements were almost exact the same as the first post wash. The waist was about 5mm larger.

Super happy with those results, no marbling or streaks and they feel so much better when clean.

Edit. All but the first soak was inside out.

@Sunnergren wow they stretched past the pre-wash measurements, good to know. Thanks!

[Sunnergren]

@jpvisual Yes, mine did. Not much but noticeable so I started wearing a belt. I’m certain it depends on how you use and wear them. As a father of two small ones I’m constantly kneeling and similar to assist them

Goddamn, those are fucking insane fades @Oaktavia !

[Oaktavia]

@VegaS10 thanks man, I appreciate you saying that. They are my most heavily faded jeans alongside my 888XHSib.

Beauties!

@Sunnergren good to know. Yours are looking great

[jpvisual]

UHR veterans. Does this fit and cut look right? The waist feels snug, but comfortable right now. The thighs feel ok. Slight tension on the knees when I sit, but not uncomfortable. Can't tell if the top block/ seat is good since I don't know how they'll be post soak/wash? They seem like they'll be pretty damn tight after the wash though. Thoughts, good fit or not?

[Oaktavia]

@Lowlander thank you so much man! Your fades are an inspiration!

[VegaS10]

@jpvisual , they should fit well pre-soak.

After the soak/wash, they will shrink, and wearing them will put them back to pre-shrink fit.....with a little more give.

If they are comfortable now, you are good.
