      i think i read the question correctly & mank responded: @mankarat:

      hot soak wont shrink much. try a hot wash. agitation is needed in shrinking process, but dont expect a shrink like jeans. it wont shrink and stretch much..

      since his response said to wash he also went ahead & gave instructions on how to wash in order to get the desired shrinkage. i chimed in with the care section since i notice alot of people ask general questions but only take advice from certain people. since G is a trusted source i refereed to his post. i think that all makes sense. i thought/think manks response was great cause he answered your question & advised on how you might get the desired result, shrinkage.  :-\

        Mank is right, there will not be much, if at all, shrinkage with a hot soak…

          I wasn't looking for a response from a certain member. I've also read this whole thread and noted that the waist and length shrinks over time about one inch (per G) over several washes.  Thanks for the lesson though.

              so what the hell is your point & why ask the question? i mean you read the entire thread & extracted that bit of information.  i never said YOU were looking for word from a certain member.  i said some members ask a question & they get a response, but continue to ask the same f^cking question. to support the word from mank i just pointed to the relevant section of the forum.  nothing worse than passive aggressive bullsh!t.  G sends stuff about be nice to newbies but forgets that some newbies act like a$$holes when folks are trying to be cordial to them.

              MikeC you are pissing me off just a little.

                  not reading into it.  just rereading what you wrote & i really didn't see any other way to take your posts & i tried reading it several times to see if i was being thin skinned.  if you meant nothing by it i sincerely apologize for my ungentlemanly like behavior.  if you are back sliding cause i addressed what was written then i stand by my posts & say get beant & stand by your sh!t.

                      801 won't shrink nor stretch much. Not with a hot wash, not with a hot soak. Just wear the damn thing mate, or get the upcoming slimmer duck pants…  🙂

                              I concur with some of the others here… absolutely zero shrinkage with mine as far as I can tell.  One super hot, two hour soak, and super hot wash and dried in a super hot gas dryer.

                              RIP, Geo

                                there is a shrinkage with this with multiple wash. just wear it and you will notice how much does it shrink

                                        Ha! Thanks, man. I think these will become a firm favourite. I pretty much live in Chucks so I'll make sure future photos are only from the ankle up 🙂
