i have already hot soaked and machine washed these once to get shrinkage out but i'm preparing for if they'll shrink more of if they'll slightly shorten when the combs set

[injunjack]

OK…
SR is quite loose cut, so combs have minimal effect on lenght as they won't be so prononunced.

You might get a very slight shrinkage in lenght still. My exprience with 21/23oz denim is that 2 hot machine washes will get the shrinkage out...

I left a "Reserve" of about 2.5 inches after two soaks with agitation and hemming to approx 33.5 inseam in mine.

I got them re-hemmed! But right now, the hip flare is killing me!! I can't wait for the denim comp to start so I can wear these til they soften!

per supersalami's request

thoughts?

all shrinkage gone already?
I think one down would have looked a bit better but this is a nice relaxed it, no question…

leg twist on the left leg is set at a 90 degree angle  hahaa. i couldnt go a tag lower, post-soak measured 31.75". hurt too much, my hips don't lie. thanks though raf, still trying to decided for the hwdc2

[Finn666]

well then it is what it is…a great fit

Did you agitate with your hands?  There's probably a little more shrinkage left.

Whoa whoa guys, maybe you should talk about this in a PM…

[llvlaglne]

i actually tossed them in the washer on 40degrees on a gentle cycle for 2hours. it's lost all of its shrinkage. shrank to the point where selvage on the leg twist hits a perfect 90.

how' the fit though

i think you shouldn't carry your bandana in your back pocket imo :p
just kidding anw! good fit enough!

[injunjack]

hem them, after they're relaxed ( which is somewhere far ahead) they'll drape much nicer.

i think the fit is nice llvlaglne.
