^ but would the jeans shrink back after wash? do we have to do it everytime we wash the jeans? im just curious…
-
that's why you keep the waistband braced w/hanger until the denim stabilized.
nevertheless, i wouldnt say [absolutely] not, but i did use the routine on a few pairs i got [Samurai 5000ai-sp, Momo 701, FC 1108c]. in my personal experience, the denim stabilized @around 4th wash. after the "training stick" was off, the waist would shrink a bit after wash [like normal], but stretches back out in a jiffy
…. also, i'm currently doing it on my sized-down IH634s-OD, Sam Blue Shadow, & Momo 702

Interesting BrownIcon, now if only I could do this with the thighs of certain pairs!

Try this…
Slightly dampen the front of the waist in warm water while slightly dampening the rear of the waist in cold water, then hang them upside down in a cedar closet for 27 hours, then iron the hems with an iron filled with vinegar instead of water since vinegar steam is a natural slackener, then put them on a blow up sex doll and alternately inflate/deflate with helium for 7 hours, then tie 3 beltloops to one horse while the legs are tied to another and let them play tug of war (note: horses should be smallish lest you risk tearing the jeans).
Or you could just wear them until they fit. Call me crazy.

inseam, you stretch by pulling while damp.
thighs, 'afraid not cuz weave is at different direction [ie, different axis]… but, you can get about 0.5" stretch normally just from wear. -

Thanks, my job is weather driven and the weather here has been miserable lately. Things are slowing down now and honestly, my ODs as well as my BBs have just started to get good. They make me sorry I washed my 25oz at 6 months. I should have let them cruise into the stinky hall of fame.
-
Seul I see that happening to a lot of peoples jeans. Is that due to a lack of water or is it almost guaranteed to happen regardless with real heavy denim?
-
Yea I remember that happened behind my knees pretty quickly at the points. Its safe to say u should introduce water a lot sooner and more frequent to the 25oz

i think this is going to happen to every pair of jeans (the stiffer the faster) when worn cuffed…if you´re wearing your denim single cuffed (or more) the denim from the cuff rubs against your shoes/boots while wearing...this causes tension and in the end, the denim is going to break at that spot...simple is that!
