Hey thompsoa!
gonna tell you the exact measurement of the inseam of my pair by tomorrow. not at home atm. so I don't have the wand around me…
what I actually did is, I wore them for a few weeks unhemmed, then I decided to let them hem, cuffed to the "right" length, send them to Giles (cuffed) and told Giles to hem at cuffed length + 0.5cm! that's actually all I did...no numbers no nothing. -
Thanks guys, I soaked mine for about 45 minutes in warm water but removed them due to the loss of color that was occurring.
Giles, so this is standard color loss in other sbg models that are rinsed prior to selling? And is it due to excess dye or did i just rinse off a shade of black? I didn't want that to happen, when you advised soaking I expected the same situation as soaking other Iron hearts, and does this mean they are going to fade quicker or should they hold the color for the same duration? And thank you again in advance for the input.

guys, still got a good as new w34 for sale. worn for half an hour in house.

I'm giving mine a hot soak right now, to see if I get them hemmed next week or not. In any case, the water didn't turn black (like wrote above)
-
I stand corrected: when I put them out of the tub, it was pretty dark. Curious to see wether they shrunk a bit.

FYI: my 555-03 shrank around 2cm while soaking. So around 1" shrinkage in the washer seems possible.
