Life-saver, thanks dude.

^ the 3002 is a great choice. I've had mine for almost 2 months and can't take them off. I started with a size 38 and it had massive shrinkage - about two inches in the waste and over 1/2 an inch throughout the rest of the leg.

I'm getting the same size.

How are the thighs, still tight?

How many soaks?

Damn Damn Damn, yeah I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and size up. Sucks, I'm sure they'll sell quick but starting over sucks. Better to do it now, then find out after a wash.

I think I'm going to look into a size 38 in the TFH 3002's for a more easier fit. 

Thanks guys. 

Wow that pretty much is it. Yeah the SE05bsp uses pioneer denim  which is the main reason I went with FH's

Unfortunately I didn't take measurements. 

Did you take measurements before and after soaking?

As a point of reference my 3002s shrunk about two inches in the waist and 3 inches in the inseam after two 1 hour soaks. I am a 36 TTS and got a tag size 38. But then again, I don't know whether or not the se05bsp uses the pioneer denim. If so, they sound a bit small...

 

You were afraid they'd shrink too much but they're tight and now you want them to stretch out?

 

But yeah, if you cold soaked those for 15 mins and they're already tight, these aren't going to be jeans that you will get a lot of use out of in the long run. I'm sure they'll be ball crushers once you wash them, which I'm assuming you'd like to eventually do.

 

What did the guys at self edge tell you? Those are as unsanforized as it gets, they should've had you take a size up

Thanks for your help.

 Self Edge said "They will stretch 1inch after 20ish wears. Then do another cold wash, they will shrink and get tight but after a few wears they will stretch back. "

Problem is I'm not sure if they will stretch enough. 

PRE SOAK image 

Hey guys,

First time here and I've already found tons of helpful info. My question is, I recently purchased a pair of size 36 FH SE05BSP from Self Edge NYC. Great service from the guys there btw.

My TTS is 36. Pre soak they fit snug, I did a cold soak for 15-18 mins, because I was afraid they would shrink too much. I've worn then about 5-6 times post soak and they fit good but still tight in the thighs. I'm hoping after some wears they will loosen up in the thighs and the top block.

I'm afraid all the shrinkage isn't gone yet. I'm pretty sure if I washed them they would be too small.

So my question is, should I sell and get a bigger size 38.

Do another cold or hot soak and pray they still fit and stretch out.
