  1. Mine didn't. BiG's charts are very accurate. An hour is overkill though... your jeans can only get so wet before they dry.

    Really? The charts seem to show that the 660's will barely shrink at all compared to my 710's. The thighs shrunk .75" and the knees and hem shrunk .5". They've had three soaks, and shrunk the most on the first soak (normal hot soak) and the third soak (hour long hot soak with the addition of a few pots' worth of boiling water). I guess the 1000xx denim doesn't shrink nearly as much as Samurai's XX fabric?

  2. ^ thanks for the reply! i like the 710 with the black arches. are those still available anywhere?

    so for a regular 710 fit though, should i just go tts?

    All 710's from BIG have the black arcuates. And yes, go tts. I did, and they were a bit big on me (more so in the lower block than in the waist or thighs) after the first two or three hot soaks. I gave them an hour long soak today though, and added in a couple pots of boiling water, and it looks like they shrunk a lot more than before. They shrink a lot, and continue to shrink through several soaks. I think that the fit should be perfect after this soak; I just have to wait till they dry.

  3. Planning on picking up a pair of 660's from BIG soon. How much should I expect these to shrink with a few really hot soaks? I did a search in this thread and got mixed answers.
