        Rain is a miracle worker! Her turn around time is longer due to it only being her, but it's soooooooo worth the wait!

          This is the first pair of jeans I've owned that are not cuffed. The hems were just an RCH too big… But since that double boiling soak dry cycle they are not dragging on the ground any longer. I am most pleased with every aspect of these jeans. From the denim to the construction and materials, to the PERFECT cut. They are a 10/10.

                    I was more speaking to actual repairs, not hems. Her hemming is crazy quick.

                      Hemming is relatively quick and easy, which is probably why she continues to take jeans for hemming.  Repairs are more complex and take more time, and there, her backlog is pretty long- I sent jeans to her in August and they aren't done yet.

                      I'm not complaining, mind you, she does impeccable work and I have more than enough other jeans to wear.

                        Yep. Every time I see a picture of a pair she darned I can't believe how seamless (heh) the repair is.

                          Right. I couldn’t remember the name and my search yielded broad results. Thanks man

                          How’s her turn around time on hemming?

                          Maybe so. Maybe not

                                Rainy and cold in Grand Rapids, Michigan today. Here’s a “fit” pic of the 888-NTs on me.

                                  Somehow the 888-cut reminds me of TFH's 3012 having a roomy top-block with a snuggy waist and comfy leg. Maybe slightly less taper. All in all pretty fantastic :)!

                                    I had this feeling that I hadn't gotten all the shrink out of my pair…

                                    So I buckled up and gave them a 60deg wash w/o spin. Now the fit is amazing and I definitely got more shrink out of the back rise, thighs and waist.

                                    Downsides are a bit more marbling throughout the thigh and my inseam lost another inch to the point where I can only do a tiny tiny cuff without going high water.

                                    The denim feels much more dense now though and the creases are much sharper than before the hot wash.

                                    Won't be touching water for a while now I don't think, I definitely can't shrink them more...

                                      Great… 6 days into the DWC with my 888 NTs,  and my 5 month old daughter puked all over them. Washing them this early won't really ruin the fading, will it? I'd rather not wear jeans that smell like putrid milk vomit.

                                          @jmg65coupe302  Matty speaks the truth. Either hand wash or repeat the soak/machine wash process with little or no spin. Lots of folks soak and wash a few times to remove absolutely all the shrinkage. No fading worries necessary.

                                            Thanks @Matty123 and @Neph93, that's a relief. I did forget to mention that I used a bit of Dr. Bronner's soap in the wash, hopefully that doesn't "set the dye" like what it says all over the web.
