i'd say 1.5-2 is about spot on, depending on the temperature of the water.

speaking of samurais, look at these shits...

insane.

Quick question about soaking the 5000's...

I just gave mine a hot 3-hour soak in a bucket a week ago. As expected it shrank to the tag size for the waist, but the length didn't shrink at all.

Should I hem them to allow for more shrinking? I just find it weird that the length didn't shrink even an inch.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

they won't reach maximum shrinkage for a couple washes.

[john11f]

mine did. or it probably crumpled up after the soak.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll take more shrinkage into consideration then.

hmm, so the waist is 31" and the inseam is 94 cm instead of 92 after a 3hr warm soak.

I'm going to soak them again before I hem them, just in case. Like the fit though.

[greentea]

humm..im thinking if you should get maximum 3 hour soak in warm water. you should replace the water w/ new warm water every hour.

the water was warm all the time because I had a tub full of warm water and closed the door to the bathroom. maybe 30*C at the end.

oh damn,you put them in the tub. does it stain the tub at all? ive been soaking my jeans in a bucket. then i close the lid so it cooks under the warm water. like a 3 hour braise for tenderness.

Alright guys, BIG is going to hold a pair of 29s that Gordon managed to squeeze out of Japan. Looks like I'm joining the Black Sammy group.

they might be mine. i called up to confirm that im exchanging my (untouched, unworn, unwashed, still tagged) samurais for a pbj 28 instead of my 29 S5000BKs tomorrow, and he was relieved because he had ran out of the S5000BKs.

He could have gotten them off a crackhead in the back alley, i wouldn't have mind.

But if they are yours, thanks!
