Thank you guys I truly appreciate the recommendation and the experience you guys share, and thank you all for the compliments regarding how they fit on me ,
I decided to soak before starting to use them.
Method: cold soak 50ish minutes (forgot to turn them inside out I was too exited
)
Shrinkage on waist was not so noticeable since I already could fit a finger or two between the jeans and my body before the soak would say 0,75 inch, inseam is about 0,5, keep in mind my soak was with relatively cold tap water.
Knee, hem and thighs feel about the same see picture for comparison and my pre soak post if needed.
Button holes took a bit of work and about 10 minutes of wrestling but are fine now.
The pictures in green tee are post soak
I noticed something weird despite these being 25oz they took about 6 hours less to dry than my Momotaro 14,5oz same place same temperature same method of soaking ![:thinking_face: π€](https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/apple/1f914.png?v=aa47puti9pk)
