@neph93:

I always get a little confused/borderline irritated when someone apologizes for a long post. Long posts are great. Especially when someone takes the time as you have done to share knowledge and experience.

Thanks for an awesome post.

Yeah honestly no idea why now that I think of it haha Thanks…hope it can help others. Will try to post again after a few more weeks of wear.

Colours

Indigo/black

[Daniel San]

[Kasi]

That a very old pair… 

@Daniel San

They somewhere in USA I believe

Got size wrong.

Stop wearing 777 for 2 years.

Brought another pair

Give it another go size up 2 sizes..

[Kasi]

@Kasi:

Nah didn’t go true 2 size, didn’t go for wear Raw for six months lots of crap and fade are not that good that way.
Brand new pair
What I did do soak them for for one hour hot water, worm them damp to set the pattern of ceases, comb that
called a head start…

Bottom line no builder crack.. I live my life wanna move in my jeans 

Here you go @Daniel San

[Daniel San]

ah ok 
really hope that they fit….

[Daniel San]

Ok, just tried them on .
Managed to get all buttons closed, waist is ok
Thighs at the point were it’s measured is ok too , down from that point it‘s pretty tight.
Think I can wear them, hopefully they will not shrink too much at thighs.
I will post some pics later ..

[Kasi]

Guess

You won’t be soaking them

[Daniel San]

@Kasi
@neph93
want to do like you and Reuben recommend
initial wash to get the shrinkage out and avoid shifting
have no bathtub so I will wash them in the machine.
40 degrees not more , hope that’s enough.
will wash 30 degrees later so should be no trouble with shrinking again

[neph93]

Spunds like a plan @Daniel San But do soak them with the shower head first and flip them inside out. Then wash with no or very low spin.

[Kasi]

I did that today with my 666 25oz soak hell out of them with shower head and Machine wash

[Daniel San]

@neph93
Yes Sir, learned a lot here
soak all my IH clothing before I put them in the machine!
what would you recommend ? washing alone in the machine or with something else , a hoodie for example.

[Kasi]

Alone inside out..

[neph93]

I always put them alone. Not sure if it makes any difference.

@Kasi
I think it will tear of my skin on the back of my knees when breaking in 
hope it will get a bit softer with inital washing, when all the starch is out….
