Just got my pair of SE05BSP in today. Going to do initial soak in a bit here. Everything fits quite nice right now, but the waist I just can't get the top button done up. So really skeptical as to soaking the waist. Should I throw them in some mild water and as they're damp throw then on?

[llvlaglne]

hmmm. i'm afraid even with that everything else will be too skin tight.. you might have to exchange for a size up

You can either exchange for one size up or wear them raw for a few weeks till the waist has stretched about 1", then do a 20 minute cold water soak and let it air dry before wearing.

I am comfortable wearing tight jeans for awhile, as I wore apc ps for 3 years and at the start those were some of the tightest things I have ever worn. All I am worried about is the waist being horrible.

This may sound dumb, so excuse me and feel free to laugh, but can I put a spacer in it while they soak, or something to that nature?

This sounds good, as I have no pants to wear (all crotches are blown). Will do that, thanks!

hmmm you can try that. or do do a variation of what kiya suggested. i would probably wear them while they were still a little damp until they dried. but definitely do a cold water soak for like 20mins like kiya suggested

[llvlaglne]

@vloek1- you skate?

Awesome, truly appreciate the responses, and being nice

Will come back in a few weeks and post pics before and after.

Bradl,

You could hot soak them with some wood in the waistband to stop them shrinking or wear them in the bath - they won't shrink smaller than your waist while you have them on! After the soak you can pull the waist for extra stretch too.

The whole sitting around in soaking wet jeans for 5 hours doesn't sound very appealing. What would I do in that time, would ruin my sofa and my bed.

I was considering doing the wood in the waistband, but the cold soak after the 1" stretch looks like my best option. Won't be getting heavy wear over next week, but hopefully enough to stretch it out just enough.

nope,only go to the college and sometimes biking

[llvlaglne]

@vloek1- okay makes sense. your back pockets sure do reflect your hobbies

[trance]

These things are awesome:

Since it's basically a N&F fit, but made by Flat Head, it's all cool. If it was the other way around, then it'd be flame time.

ThinFinn, I'd buy that shirt from you if it was a 42. I used to think those houndstooth shirts looked weird but I've warmed up to them, too bad FH doesn't make that style anymore.

[S-Town]

They still do the houndstooth; just not that color this year.

[llvlaglne]

i don't even want to see anymore of this fhxnfxty.... it breaks my heart. it's like voltron teaming up with power rangers.....

Let me know what the inseam shrinkage is like post-soak. Based on my experience with TFH denim, it looks like those are going to crush your nuts after they've shrunk. (Hopefully for you, that won't be the case.)

This is true, they look like they're the right size now and will probably fit like ladies/goth/heavy metallist jeans post-wash. But if that's what he after, he's nailed it.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^I think someone buying a pair of Naked&famous in the first place is looking for exactly a fit like you described

[shoreman]

^ Ouch. Now, now; no need for there to be all this animosity concerning a collaboration. I have no problem with it whatsoever. I just wish N&F would cool their jets and concentrate more on delivering a product of the highest quality possible rather than churn out numerous collaborations and novelty jeans one after the other.
