i don't understand what the whole sizing issue is? Just trust the "actual measurements" and forget about the tag size… right?

You’re essentially right in that things are what they are. The «issue» is that the waist comes up consistently larger in relation to other measurements than on the other 555 iterations. This was slightly complicated by a period of uncertainty regarding what shrinkage one could expect.

Fades coming along nicely. However, I implore you all to read and listen to those directions. I washed these twice. Second time I noticed the marks. I don't mind them too much. Don't know if there's a way to get rid of them. The lines are in the second picture; the first one just shows the normal good fading. Also, sorry about the dick pic. It was the only way to show the "good fades".. .

I wouldn't sweat the lines. Those are pretty normal when using a washing machine. when the jeans fade so will the lines. Same thing happened to me a few years back with a pair of N&F lht denim. Chucked them in the wash and there were crazy lines everywhere, but they eventually disappeared and now aren't noticeable.

@gaseousclay yeah, I figured that. Thanks for the conformation.

Not much, @Crit_Obs. I only used cokd water, though. It was also a short cycle. I might only soak them in the future. The first time I didn't notice anything, but now that there is less dye, I think that's when the streaks pop out. Soaking only should avoid that I think.

Also, sorry about the dick pic.
It’s ok, this is a crotch shot. They’re fine [emoji1]
Following the guidelines is always wise. I don’t baby my stuff otherwise but I now wash all my denim/duck/wabash etc with a soaking first and then machine washing, at least the first few times. This after fecking up a nice pair of grey IH chino’s. Still burns.

Thank You @Sam. Feel free to use them for promo - your photos make them look amazing.
These are my much loved first pair of IH denim. They were purchased in Jan 2016, and that photo would've been taken when i sent them in for repair of crotch and sideseam in August 2017. Great memory, @Alex.They've evolved a little since then, although i haven't really worn them as much since last November. I've been wearing my DWC pair of PIH5DCT pretty much solid since then.
