  1. your really not going to lose that much indigo as long as you keep it in a cold ass soak for about an hour just to get rid of that wretched smell and all those light stains. just remember the hotter the water is the more indigo you will lose.

    i would probbaly just go with the cold soak inside out and then hang dry to have them get really stiff again, obviously the creases will be reset but same will apply to all techniques you use.

  2. Ok, so I soaked them per Carl's recommendation. They got a half hour steaming hot soak in the tub, then air dried outside in the sun. They shunk about one inch in the waist, became slimmer in the thigh and about three inches shorter. I was nervous about the waist shrinkage, which was why I was going to keep them raw, but now that they are soaked and I can still button them, I am happy I did it!

    By the way, that's not very crazy... Or psychedelic. And you couldn't even be bothered to do it up on some drawing paper... I mean, college ruled? Honestly?
