5 hours is what i did too, you'll be fine.

Also, I've been adding hot water periodically every half hour or so.. should I even bother or should I just let it cool?

hmm. The wash sure exacerbated the knee wear.

^^^ good philosophy.

Do you have diaper rash, or are you making gravy?

I don't expect it to do much but I thought I'd try it out.

i have one that i didnt soak, actually my 505 samurai is straight out the box.

though obviously I'm no expert on such things.

EDIT- my sammis are in a tub with screaming hot water and corn starch right now

Why 5 hours ???

this is my first experience with unsanforized jeans, so I guess 2-3 hours is enough then?

thanks for the reassurance guys.

I'll do a hot soak later today for 5 hours or so and post results.

well I just got my package from BiG and they fit... too well considering they haven't been soaked

If they shrink more than 1.5 inches in the waist I'm probably fucked

SSDS, almost a year old. Washed regularly but this was my first hot wash.

hey guys if anyone is interested in this striped shirt with the two pockets the one I got from chris doesn't really fit me and I'm looking to sell it. Just trying to get back what I paid (minus shipping), so I'm asking $35 shipped to North America. It fits slightly bigger than an American Apparel small, and a bit shorter.

just PM me so we don't clutter up chris's thread.

wait a sec. now you are willing to take a $100 hit on these?

whats really goin on?

seriously.

Yeah, regardless of being ugly jeans or not... at least post it for less than what you paid. Especially since you removed the tags.

you mean I can buy a pair of hideous jeans for its full, ridiculous retail price from a questionably trustworthy guy who has one post here?

where do I sign up???

$128!

I'd rather get a real M65. They fit boxy as hell, but so does everything at the gap.

Begåvningsreserven: what are those? they look like spring courts, by 100000x more awesome than any spring courts I've ever seen.

that holster looks great. Surprisingly.

sure. We can talk in a couple weeks once mine get here.

31x34 RRLs, red polo AND blue polos are now sold

EDIT- nevermind, I'm totally broke right now

30x34 RRL has been SOLD

EDIT- i just realized the picture of that striped t SUCKS, here's the one chris showed me

^^I'm just trying to gauge how those might fit. What size new standard do you wear? thanks

In the picture I'm wearing the 26x34 RRLs.. they fit a tiny bit big.

Hey guys I'm cleaning out my closet for fall. First up is the striped shirt I got from chris. Black and white stripes, with a button flap on the side and 2 pockets on the chest. It fits a bit bigger than an AA small, and slightly shorter. Never worn outside the house so I'm asking what chris charged me: $35 shipped

Next is 3 size S trovata polos I got at the start of summer. I forgot that I don't really wear polos very much. The blue and brown have been worn about 5-10 times each, and the red has never been worn (its not my colour). Also the blue and brown ones have been professionally altered to fit tighter in the torso. They fit about the same as an AA small.

Asking $40 shipped each

last up is two pairs of RRL slim fits. Marked size 26x34 and 27x34, but measure to 30.5x34 and 31x34, respectively. They are one-wash IIRC and should not shrink any more.

made in Japan slim cut, zip fly, slight taper, backpocket rivets, blueline selvage. They fit VERY similar to APC's new standard. The construction is amazing for the price. I was originally going to cut them up to make patches for my Nudies but I can't bring myself to do it, I'm trying to send them to a good home instead.

Asking $45 shipped

if you're in Canada subtract $5 from each item for shipping.

thanks for looking!

just ordered a pair from BiG in size 28.. a little late on the bandwagon, I know.

sized down twice so I'm really hoping they fit..

SD-103, or any *03 model.

I'd go for the SD-003 I think. The grey weft and lefthand denim sounds pretty cool.

the xtiger is marginally slimmer. They're pretty much identical IIRC.
