I think I missed something in this thread. What's with the green tea soak?

[

that LOL.

Went out for a walk today in the park behind my house. I was walking across the river to the other side when I broke through the ice and fell in. So as a result my 013s got a nice freezing water soak. They are at about 3 months, kind of overdue for a evo pic. Will throw some pics up once they are dry. By the time I got home all the stacks and creases had frozen.

sounds like a scene from a horror movie where a girl pulls you down from under the water. :confused:

its pretty gross. first your front pincers slide across the females chitinous thorax until they find purchase on her soft egg sack. then, after you discharge your sperm into her many mouthed cloaca, she stings you in the spine and paralyzes you before planting an egg in your belly.

overall, would give it 4/5

LOOOOOL, made my day.

Does the Kindle have a backlight?

That is some very nice ageing for 8 months liannesmiles, nice work.

It's actually 5 months. All I wore was short shorts in May, June, July, and August.

yay to pbjs rj.

lianne ur waistline looks like it stretched out heaps! really nice fit tho!

Yeah, they're pretty loose. They're a size 27 and the size 26's didn't come out yet when I bought them in April. Gordon from BIG told me that 27 was the smallest pair at the time.

I bend over when I sit a lot so the top stretched out.

gargle some warm water with salt.

temporary relief. :|

paper-cuts on the tip of your fingers.

It both makes me sad, and happy, that a girl has the same pair of pants as me.

:(:confused:

They're way smaller though if that makes you feel any better.

Shake Shack is better though. :|

some really bad lighting pictures of my X-011's

but this just a preview so it's alright haha

full pictures next week with my boyfriend's camera.

haha he makes me want to put up pics of my 013's too, too bad my jeans don't look as cool *womp womp*

Do they fade the same way as 11's?

baked ham and cheese over rice.

nice Panda, convinced me to post my fit pictures of X-011's over holidays.

layered up at work

nice vest!

^ yup, from my experience a cold soak will shrink it less than a hot soak, you do the hot soak to get most of the shrinking done

put green tea bags too.

thanx Lianne.. so both cold and hot soaks would shrink the denim??

soak inside out or just normal?

Cold soak and turning it inside out loses less indigo so I did that. Hot soaking it makes it shrink more and lose more indigo from my past experiences.

Madder... so what does Cold Soaking actually do to the jeans then?

shrink and gets rid of some indigo, I just cold soaked today.

akka225 is correct, leg twist does indeed result from the shrinking of unsanforised denim along the grain as it touches water.

Reason's for not having leg twist may be that the denim is a broken twill, sanforised or secondarily processed to eliminate twisting, etc.

Leg twist was never really a problem for me for everyone that kept messaging me about fit pictures to see the leg twist. I posted fit pictures before and it's not as noticeable as other pairs. I boiled water to soak my jeans and that definitely shrunk the jeans a lot so I guess akka225 is right but it seems the same to me.
