I love these jeans so much. The color is out of this world. Problem is: weight loss + denim stretch = they look too baggy and unflattering. I know Flo had some luck shrinking an OD shirt with a super hot bath, and I was wondering what kind of shrinkage you guys have gotten with these after first wash? Also, how much does it change the color? I've heard some say that it pulls more blue out than the black overdye, and I really want that electric blue shining through the super dark jeans look, so I'm a little worried. You guys are the best. JSJ.

I say go for it. Max Power got some shrinkage on an od piece: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=282.600
I have a couple of od jackets and I've washed one mine in cold water and it looks virtually identical. I'd not hesitate to do a hot soak/hand wash a couple of times. Haraki's od is pretty stout stuff IMO.
