Screw it! I went full on Canadian Tux to the office today.

IH-526Lod
IH-555S-21

IH-555XHSib (40 wears, one soak)
Thedi Leathers Jacket
Generic Levi’s flannel shirt

IH-888s-142od.
Tanner Goods Belt (Natural veg tan, already with some color from being exposed to the sun).

Love wearing the 888s instead of Chinos or whatever for office days.

It worked!! They didn’t shrink that much on the waist and they fit perfectly.

Now, pray so that I don’t have to go to the restroom at the office (buttons are still a b!tch).

Alright, received my pair today. Since the waist is already on the “iffy” side, decided to do the initial soak wearing them.

Feel super dumb.

I received my size 40 pair yesterday. I had the hemmed to 33.5 “
This time I didn’t want to deal with cleaning my bathtub so I just put them in the washer inside out, no spin and with the hottest water temperature setting and just hang dry afterwards.

Here are the results in inches.

New:
Waist 40
Thigh 14
Knee 9.5
Leg opening 9
Length 33.5

After hot wash
Waist 39
Thigh 13.5
Knee 9
Leg opening 8.5
Length 33

So, pretty consistent results of exactly one inch reduction in all areas.

Just received my pair and the color is amazing.

Received this pair today. They are way better than expected; the color is great.

I will give them the initial hot soak to get all the shrinkage out of the way and have them hemmed next week.

This is how they fit pre-soak (some how I lost my butt ).

@Jcaz6996 Hey!! It’s funny you are here. Your videos are what convinced me about getting this pair and also the jacket. Thanks!
