  1. Or maybe not.

    I learned the hard way (twice) about sizing down on 0701, especially with the high-tension denim on those which makes for a painful fit with very little stretch. Hate to say it, but unless you never wash/soak them, you'll probably give up on those like I did and size up one or even two...it'll be a painful break in.

    sizing down is doable. the trick is when you soak them, wear them at the same time so they won't shrink too much. in fact they will fit your body just nicely. wear them till they're dry. it's worth the effort.

  2. I'm seeing the slightest fading on whiskers and honeycombs in good light (today was snowy) and my pair is about one month in. DId soak though, don't know if it makes a difference.

    So, we'll see when I hit the three month mark.

    I'm curious about your pair Pasko. What if they shrank too much by the way?

    here's the measurement for my 0201 size 30

    pre soak :

    waist - 32

    front rise - 10.5

    back rise - 15

    upper thigh - 12.75

    knee - 8.75

    leg opening - 8.25

    inseam - originally 39, hemmed to 36

    post soak :

    waist - 30.75

    front rise - 10

    back rise - 14.5

    upper thigh - 12.25

    knee - 8.5

    leg opening - 8

    inseam - 33.75

    it wasn't really a struggle putting them back on my legs. pheww... (so to those who would like to size down or go TTS on 0201 is DOABLE).

  3. xpost from evo thread.

    Currently hot soaking my momotaro 0201, since July 2010. Here's how they look like before soak.

  4. Any chance on getting momos to stretch 2 inches? Just got my 0701 in 29 but I think I should have looked for 30 because they run a little small. They fit perfectly everywhere but right at the waist. I've gotten around half an inch stretch after 5-6 hours but it feels like an uphill battle.

    wear them raw from start, wear them high. they will stretch out. I have a pair of 0201 sized down one and stretch out roughly around 2 inches. once i have soaked or washed them, they will just fine i think.

  5. I am selling a used TNF down vest in charcoal gray, size medium. It uses 800 down fill. Lightly used. No stain. No smell. No holes. Just like new. Really great for layering.

    Payment : PAYPAL ONLY.

    Price : $USD130 OBO + shipping (PM me for shipping price)

    PM me for any info. Better pics could be provided upon request.

    I need to sell this as I have a few other jackets I want to wear this winter.

    Thanks.
