@Alex hey Alex, thx for the answer

Off course I have checked the fabric on the product page, but in my limited experience, some product still do shrink, even at 30°

But ok I don't remember forum members even mentioning this for this one.

Thx !

@Slash I’m not going to discredit members experiences with shrinkage, but sometimes I wonder how much of it is freshly laundered and the resultant temporary tightening up of the fibres.

Technically I know it can be called shrinkage…but I have found that many of those occasions where it’s happened to me, that shrinkage is temporary and lasting only a half day at best.

When I think of the terms used here, I wonder how many people are reporting true shrinkage that does not stretch back out and the phenomenon of temporary shrinkage.

Just a thought…

@goosehd
very good point Dennis , I often thought exactly the same.

[Slash]

@goosehd yeah I agree and it's certainly a good thought.
To be perfectly frank, I know this myself for having experienced it with at least one shirt (I mean the only temporary, post-wash fibres tightening).
I only had it "for real" with my brown slubby from last winter, but very little.
So yeah I also take all infos with a grain of salt, but for me those insights are cool since I'm in Europe and like to avoid the restocking fee. Honestly otherwise I wouldn't even bother asking this, and simply order 2 sizes each time
Nice thing here is that with denim you can almost always stretch back some when it's damp.

@goosehd every time I wash my SBGs I am adamant they've shrunk, go through the denial phase that they are now too small, wear them uncomfortably for an hour then all normality returns

[goosehd]

@AdamJ glad I’m not the only one

[Alex]

I think it was @Appfaff who documented the 'shrink' on shirts being negated by a quick iron, after a wash

[goosehd]

The other shrinkage that occurs whilst temporary for some is permanent for others…that extra beer or extra forkful can explain some of the problems with things not fitting anymore.

@goosehd it's a fine line sometimes!

[Rustygate37]

@goosehd this happens to me every time I wash my 634 bb 14oz. They are my absolute favourite pair of jeans and each time I think I’ve ruined them. 2 days later and they are my all time favourite again.

@Oaktavia's first run version from the hall of fades worth sharing again!

@AdamJ I basically need a medium with the P2P of a large. you think it’s probably better odds to find a Medium with one measurement component variance (like a P2P closer to 22”) than go up to a large and try to find a Large with smaller variances across the board (but the listed P2P)?

Not a pro at this but personally would go for the best fitting P2P first.

Hi everyone,
Sleeves seem on on the longer side (even in IH territory) compared to other CPOs, in your experience with the first run do they stack up well due to the heaviness?
Thanks

[AdamJ]

@MSav32323 when you place your order drop a note in saying as such and the crew will do their best to accommodate what you're after

[AdamJ]

@tvaillant75 you will get some stacking but ~0.5" tops I'd say
