              Thanks @mikebarhoot I do my best. All I had to
              Do Was starve myself  😉

              They are still drying and I will post pre and post soak
              Measurements later today. They are beautiful. When yuh look at them in person sometimes I can’t tell if they look blue or black or both, which they are, but they are an art piece for sure

              Maybe so. Maybe not

                  You got it bro. Humid wet weather here is delaying the drying of these HEAVY jeans. Will measure as soon as they dry

                      Give it some decent agitation in the tub. I usually rock it back and forth and flip it a few times. That will aid the shrinking.

                        I did some of that yesterday with the 100F water. But I will do more this next time when I do the hotter soak

                          Fantastic pair, definitely looking to get myself a pair of 555's. Thank you for the progress shots and measurements on these!

                                  Would you ever consider putting them in the drier,cause that's what I've found gets the shrinkage out. Put them inside out to avoid any kind of friction marks.

                                    Idk… that makes me a little Too nervous. Especially with a denim this dark. I would hate to F them up. These might be a one off for all I know. Gonna try 140F water first

                                      I think that's the best approach. I'd hate for you to F them up as well. Especially on my suggestion. If you're ever going to be in NYC wearing them,give me a shout,and maybe I can meet you and buy you a beer.

                                        Do you have one of those dryer drying racks? Or is it a combo of the tumbling and heat that helps with shrinkage?

                                          Agitation and heat together cause the shrinkage. But you can create that with hand washing or in a washing machine. Tumble drying is very effective at shrinking but the heat can be damaging to cotton fibres and depending on the denim, the movement and creasing may very well create permanent abrasion lines. Air drying is the best.

                                            @neph93 hey Reuben. In your post about your 888uhr did u say that hemmed them shorter than usual due to the higher rise?

                                            I ask because the rose on these is even higher than my 888NT so I think I may hem them shorter than usual. And thanks for the advise in drying. You sage you.

                                            @Jett129 hey bud. Thank for the offer. I will def give you a heads up on any visit to NYC. I’m only an hour away but don’t get there as often as I used to.

                                            Maybe so. Maybe not
