The Flat Head

[waxedhead]

hey everyone, ive just gotten a pair of SE05BSP and they are really tight. I can manage to button around the waist but have great difficulties buttoning up the fly. What do you guys recommend? Cold soak for 20 mins?

consider getting a bigger size if they are too tight and havent even touched water yet

[thatslapz]

just starting cycling frequently after a few years again.

turns out my 1001s start to be to tight in the thigh, hope they stretch with my cycling muscles coming back extremely fast!

any experience? might just use them for cycling to speed up that process, right?

do want blast the seams!

I bike quite a bit in my 1001's, and they stretch out to accomodate the increased muscle mass.

thanks for the reply dude, but self edge ran out of sizes for it already and ive just received my denim which is 12 days after my order. i dont think self edge will be willing to give me a store credit if i returned will they?

[tjonow]

wouldnt be so sure about that. why not ask them and explain that delivery was slow?

sure, why not?!

[waxedhead]

sure, why not?!

initially i was worried cause the shipping took some time to arrive and it had exceeded the 10 days exchange policy. Now that Kiya had replied and im able to get my store credit. Really good service I must say. will ship it once the post office is open tomorrow.

just another question, if i put a coat hanger at the waist and cold soak it for say 20 mins will the waist still shrink? any ways to prevent the waist from shrinking?

[gonegonegone]

[Turntabloid]

We don't care about the 10 days, just as long as they're unworn and unsoaked we'll totally take them back for an exchange or store credit.

[jjkchung]

show us how it looks post-soak.

i guess if it's just too unbearable, best thing you can do is marketplace...

Why didn't you listen to the advice?!? If it's not too late already, the best thing you could do now is let them dry while you are wearing them. Do squats while they are damp.

listen to this guy. if you think they're too tight while damp, then keep them on and move around as much as possible to stretch them out. if you let them air dry, they're going to be even harder to get into.

i'll wear them at home all day.

thanks for all the advice again people.

[Turntabloid]

my armpits hurt from wearing the TFH6002W raw for the last two days.

i even have red marks on my arms - i seem to fade quite nicely - hehe.

[michaelscott]

what's the popular opinion on going true to size in 3001? anyone done it? pictures?

[MindxMatters]

Pretty sure that's the general rule for the 3001 is to go true to size unless you have larger thighs

[Hendodo]

Turntabloid, thats dedication right there ^

[Osmosis Jones]

hendodo is in MILBRAE? you ever touge down on one of those streets from 280 to el camino real?

also, anybody with the BSPs notice that the legs are basically rotated to one side? I'll try to explain it a little more. basically, it's like the cuffs of my jeans are rotated clockwise so that the selvage on the left leg is rotated towards the front of my foot rather than perfectly on my ankle. Then the selvage on my right left is rotated towards my heel instead of my toes.

[toruokada]

^ Isn't that just the twisting which is pretty common with jeans that are unbroken twill?
