^ No guarantee they will, especially not in the thigh. But normally 10-14 days solid wear will get you all the stretch you need (or are likely to get). I’m on day four with mine, they shrunk over an inch in the waist and .4” in the thigh. Both have loosened a little but are nowhere near what they were raw yet.

That’s a decent amount of shrinkage in the thigh. Wow.

Just got my hemmed pair back from Indigo Proof. I’m Wearing them now and They are not nearly as rough and scratchy as I though they would be. The hand is very soft and they are HAIRY as hell. I love it. I’m so pleased with the fit.

got my pair last night.
soaked for about 4hrs, machine washed for 15min, rinsed for another 15min. 5min spin dry.
- size 32 - raw / wash
- waist - 32.8 / 30.5
- front - 11.5 / 11
- rear - 16.5 / 15.5
- hem - 8 / 7.6
- inseam - 36.5 / 34.2
i think i was able to get the most shrinkage possible. waiting for it to dry up completely and start wearing it
- the after soaking/washing measurements are very similar to the 888s of size 32.

Thanks for the measurements @steelworker was this the first Soak and wash? You got a lot of waist shrink.
yes @Matty123 first soak and wash the waist is already back to pre-soak measurement, ??? now I'm going to beat the shit out of them.

@Matty123 Boss fit, great cut. See what you mean about length. If you only lost an inch you should get some more with another hot soak/wash and honeycombs will take off .5". I had mine hemmed to 33.5 to allow for 2" shrink and while I haven't measured that's about where they are at.
Still, they aren't too long if you cuff and it looks like they're stacking really nicely on you so you could leave them without any problems imho. It's all about how you want to wear them and it looks to me like you have options.
Great denim ain't it?
