  1. Apologies for probably going over old ground, but how much stretch can I expect in a pair of XX-013 non-wash long-term?

     

    I'm usually a 31/32 waist, so I went safe with a 32, although Denimio said they would send the pair which had the smallest waist measurement for a 32.

     

    The thigh/rise/knee/hem are all perfect. However, the waist is 81cm flat, compared to their size chart average of 86.4cm. The waist fit is snug from the off, and after a soak will be tight.

     

    Are these able to stretch past initial raw waist measurements pretty quickly?

  2. Hoggreaser - thanks, I've given the marks a vigourous rub with my fingertips and they appear to be vanishing. I'm guessing they were starch marks then?

    Admittedly I didn't really rinse them after lifting out of the tub as water was going EVERYWHERE and I just wanted to get them outside.

    Would I be best giving these a cold rinse in the machine to get rid of the remaining starch, or am I good to go?

  3. Bit of advice for someone who's never bothered with unsanforized denim before.

    Just warm soaked a new pair of 710's in my bath. Did them for an hour, inside-out, and dried on the line, still inside-out, all day.

    They've shrunk and slimmed down nicely (just need hemming now) BUT, when I turned them back the right way I'm a bit gutted with the results.

    There just seems to be marks all over them. Not really fades I don't think, more patches and streaks where the indigo just looks dirty and smeared.

    I'll try and get some photos when I'm not quite so angry, but it'll probably be quite hard to capture.

    Is this just normal, or have I someone fucked something up?

    Edit: dunno how well this will show up but...

  4. Someone help a noob out please...

     

    Got some 710's in a 31 on the way. What exactly do I need to do with them before starting wearing them in?

     

    I know they are un-sanforized so they really need a soak - is just popping them in a cold/warm/hot bath ok? And how long for?

     

    Once soaked, should I wear them wet for a while, or just squeeze out the water by hand and drip-dry on the line?

     

    I presume after an initial soak and dry, I'll be ok to get them hemmed and start wearing?

     

    Apologies for all the ?'s but I'd prefer not to fuck this up on a pair of $300 jeans.

     

    Thanks.

    *Worn once outdoors for about 5 hours, so pretty much brand new. Toe Cap, Mid & Outer Soles, Uppers, Insoles are all immaculate/unmarked. The only sign of wear is dirt on the outer sole, as the lime green colour does show marks easily.

    *Comes with Navy laces and a spare pair of contrast Lime laces, and original box (the box is damaged/torn in the corners and was like this when I received the item from the USA).

    *More details and better pics here:

    *Due to sizing/shipping fuck-ups by End and Oi Polloi, I ended up having to get these from America, which set me back £120 in total with shipping (I know, £120 for Cons :D )

    *I'm asking for £105 shipped. Will be going on Ebay if price not met as these sold out mega-quick and have been long gone for months in this size/colourway.
