Picked my pair up today, now they are drying hanging in a perfect spot. I had some room
In the waist so went with ”warmish” soak to get as much skrinkage as possible without washing them.I did this: soak inside-out, turned them around for drying. No clue if that’s the ”correct way” but it seemed logical to me.
It is clear to me that this was a returned pair from another customer, see pic. Didn’t want to disclose his name but wanted to ask if it’s common that they keep the card or just a mistake? I guess it was a mistake, the previous buyer should feel confident that the card is now gone.
Interesting however that the measurements in waist is a little of. I don’t mind at all, just an observation.
Have a good one!

@Sunnergren. Probably a mistake. After the soak you should of put them in the washing machine with no spin cycle and then dry so you can get all the shrinkage out. They may still have some shrinkage left
-
@Sunnergren After soaking I washed at 30°C 600 rpm before drying. I babied my denim in the beginning but figured that tough workwear that was built to last should probably survive a reasonably gentle wash in a machine
-
@Sunnergren funny you bring up measurements being off. I hemmed mine to 34.5” and after measuring over and over again I’m certain that it’s shorter. I was thinking maybe since the denim is so thick and brand new, I may not be accounting for something?
I’m not entirely certain. But pulling the leg all the way to the side and measuring the IH way is not giving me a 34.5” measurement.
Edit: not bashing anyone, just thought to bring it up since it was somewhat brought up already.

I’ve stopped hemming my jeans. After years of trial and error I find that my pairs often shorten up a bit the more wear they get. I cuff them in the beginning and eventually find myself letting out the cuff. Mileage will definitely vary. I’m pretty tall already, but I’ve found taking the guesswork out of it works best for me.

@worn2fade Thanks for the reply. It’s handmade and hand-measured by humans. It will differ thats just how it is I reckon. I think that it is important information, especially for the first time buyer.
-
@kojimastreets interesting! I didn’t hem my pair and wonder about the wear shrink. I’m 188 tall, are we in the same ballpark?
-
@Sunnergren 190cm here and did not hem. Would not have made sense to hem for me.
Not sure though everyone is different. I guess leg length can vary vs torso length? -
@Northman yeah leg/torso ratio plays huge role, so your true inseam measurement is what really matter.

Started rotating these in with my UHR. Loving the almost black color and beginnings of evo.
