I have deleted a lot of posts. Nothing was being gained from the discussion.
I am going to try and invent an anti-shrinking machine. That way I can shrink every pair of jeans, publish the results and then de-shrink them. That should fix quality control.
So are you going to keep deleting my posts to polish this thread for your business? Seems you have a hard time accepting a problem here, Giles. Anyway I'll be soaking my pair again tomorrow a little longer than before with some agitation 
No luck with another soak on these, leg opening is 7.25 now and after checking the other measurements these things really didn't shrink at all anywhere else.. real shame and so much for sanforized. They're up in the marketplace if anyones interseted
Yeah I'll definitely give them another soak. I'm wearing a sz 30 in 301s right now and wanted more room in the top block while keeping a similar fit in the leg, and ideal leg opening would be ~7 in for me which I know won't happen but I'm worried because I saw virtually no change in the original measurement. Even my 301s shrunk about the same amount as this pair except with this one, it didn't shrink at the hem
Just finished soaking my sz 32 and really shocked / disappointed by the shrinkage in the leg opening.. 7.3 after hot soak, about no shrinkage. Everywhere else has shrunken properly though, really strange. Don't really know what to do at this point maybe put them on the market and try for another pair and request they pick out one with a smaller leg opening? Saved up for a while for these and am really let down right now..
Oliver can you post the measurements of them?
6'2ish and 80kg (176lbs)
To help gauge my frame, here's a WAYWT pic (I'm wearing a large shirt and jeans are 33" waist). - http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=9.msg205403#msg205403
Right on, its a great fit. I'd love to see pictures after the denim sets in better if you get the chance
What's the height and weight of the model? The jean is unwashed in the picture?
We measured the actual jeans, so the measurements are accurate….The raws will likely stretch back to pre soak measurements with wear....
Thanks I noticed that my 301s actually shrunk more than I thought around .2 in the leg. I know these are raw but how much shrinkage can we expect?
Hey G, is it a mistake that from the knee below and the rise is smaller on the raws than the 21oz version? How much stretch can we expect from the raws?
