nope, ed's 34 leg opening only shrank 0.5

so it must be 9 inch

dont know the measurement after the second soak though

[beeetus]

Yeah, not quite the shrinkage I was hoping for. As much as I'd hate to do it, maybe a wash and a tumble dry would do the trick.

I'd normally do a hot sun dry, but it's getting too cold here for that.

Soaked the Californians last night. Was skeptical about a 3" shrink in length. They started at 37 and wound up a 34. Crazy.

Water after a 30 minuteish soak.

Have them on today. Still a little damp. The patch has totally lost its emboss. I don't think its coming back. Sort of sad about it. I will take some fit picks when I can and a detail shot of the patch when it has dried out.

Hey Ed,

Wish I would have known you were there. We got back to Shanghai on Tuesday night. Had to come back before the holidays. Let me know if you are passing through the mainland anytime soon.

[vinz]

Thought I would post a pic up of the patch on my Californians. It was soaked in really hot water. The patch lost some of the red which looks pretty cool to me. Probably won't start wearing them for a little while, I gotta give my other jeans some more wears first

[dave023]

Fit pics Vinz?

[Vinneus]

yes please! i think only us Vin 's have 33's!

[rnrswitch]

Has MF used right hand twill denim before. Most of the stuff is left hand, right?

[vinz]

Fit pics as requested. I just measured the inseam, it's about 1/4" over 34". I'm 5'10" 185lbs.

[therelativity]

nice fit, doc and vinz~

just received mine today

It seems that everybody soaks theirs. I want to wear them raw. is it acceptable?

[edmond]

you got your from craft ?? whats that?? what size you got? and how did you size?

[therelativity]

Yes, I did. you mean the pin? a handmade brooch~

size 28 - same size as the riders and 7163

[ajchen]

therelativity, I would definitely soak them, as the jeans are unsanforized and you'll want to get the waist/inseam shrinkage out of the way earlier rather than later. If they are tight in the waist and hips already and you don't want to exchange for a 29, then I guess you have no choice - at least give them a 10 min cold soak and then start wearing them to stretch them back out.

[Vinneus]

Relly, i agree with Andrew, i know they look so crisp and you want to keep that intact.... lay em flat and let them just absorb some water for 10 min.... some day they will have to hit water, for whatever reason.... if its later than sooner your knee bends will be up too mid thigh! hehe

[Bigyen]

sorry this post isn't going to be about the californians, but i just picked up a pair of okinawas and anyone know if it's the exact same denim as the Liberty issue CPO?

[almostnice]

up yours,bitches!

[rnrswitch]

When Mr. Freedom states that the fabric on the Californians is "guaranteed to age and beautify with repeated wear" what kinda weight does that hold? Can I return them after a year if the denim fading turns out flat? Hmmmm.

Thanx "chunisstuntastic"

[almostnice]

fat bastard,i bet you are about 120 kgs,whatever that is in communist speech.i am giving myself up to the north coreans now.

[tmadd]

It's not, the CPO is an 11oz version of the Okinawa...different selvedge id as well. My CPO is starting to get some serious vertical falling that reminds me of the Okinawa denim on my 7161MDs...but there are some aspects about how its evolving that make me cautious about expecting it to be exactly like a lighter weight version of Okinawa, at least as far as fading properties go.

[almostnice]

whatever,dude is in need for a fresh haircut.

MFSC Deck Jacket (No strip sample edition)

I may be misinterpreting what you mean here, but to my knowledge, the "no strip" indicates that it is from the second run that was out about a year ago...this is the run that came out around last year and most (if not all) the examples from this run were raw, not rinsed. The initial run was all rinsed except for one raw example of each size.

[ThisSunday]

I got these a few days ago. The 7163s are definitely the most bizarre piece I own. They're pretty loud with the red bias tape, denim rivets, and exposed selvedge. These are one wash. I gave them a quick cold soak and wore them until they were dry. I'm still deciding what footwear looks best with these.
