Yeah, Ben, those look great! I wish I could make a pair of denim look like that!

[zwer]

Yeah, I love that fit. Now I'd like to see a pair on someone properly 200+ lbs (no disrespect to Dirty Denim)

[joesaintjohn]

I'd like to see some denim that fits people solidly 250!!! Fat dudes need cool clothes too!

See: knew they'd be perfect post-soak

Any advice how long and how hot i am supposed to soak this denim, i soaked it as hot the faucet can give for 1.5 hour, will i get more shrinkage in the inseam if i give it a second soak?
I am thinking of wearing it for 3 days then give it a boiling hot soak.
Presoak/postsoak measurement

waist              32.5 / 31.2
Front rise      10    /  9.7
Rear rise        15  /  14.7
Thigh              11.5 /  11.3
Knee                7.8  /  7.7
Hem                  7.2  /  7.1
Inseam            36    /  35

Any input will be appreciated, thanks….

That looks like the sort of shrinkage I'd expect. You may get another 0.5 out of the inseam, but that's about it.  I just do mine in hot water out of the tap.  if you agitate the jean when in the water, you'll get more shrinkage.  If you boil them, your patch will become a weapon…..

[ben2t]

Thanks G, i will just keep it this way then. I love this super fantastic jeans.

would love to see some day pics of your pair!
