I'm not sure it did any good. The cheep fluffers live on. Not even the graphic helped...I figured that would seal the deal.

[cheep]

somtimes i really wonder what it is about me that causes people to do that...

[justinbaily21]

Please do that. Lightish weight and normal, straight cut with a repro rise.

dickdanger's a 36, I think.

[Dick Danger]

I'm much fatter than that.

[st199ml]

I'm wearing 36 in the contest denim, right now in fact (although I wish I had a 35).

The salaryman competition sounds great. Something I'd have a chance of winning, rather than just making up the numbers here. ;-)

[beatle]

Just found these..compared the fit - unsoaked, day 1 - present

My 36 Sammies ARE a SuFu, male camel-toe, skinny fit on my body.

Blimey Beatle, that is some massive shrinkage when you put the pics together like that. They look great. I want to get some shrinkage on mine (non-comp).... may do a hot wash and dry soon.

[beatle]

Just a hot wash..I'm really against this whole dryer policy..

Just let them dry in the sun - this way they'll get stiff again...

[beatle]

And a quick compering shot regarding the leather patch..

And now the other 29 !!

[40ozprophet]

Nice progression. although i would have expected the patch to turn darker than it has. maybe it is just the lighting.

[st199ml]

Way behind, but here's some crotch shots, you lucky people. (10)

[beatle]

6 washes by now..

[azn8oi]

After looking at your pics beatle, im even more scared of washing now. I keep reading people like cmf and polyrock say that it fits even better after wash, and I believe them, but in my case i think it's already quite snug. if i wash them and they shrink, im soooooooo screwed.

ugh. in other news, the arc on my left ass is started to come apart too.

[fre-co]

Cheers for the advice Beatle. Mine are in the machine now, Sun might be an issue this weekend....

[beatle]

No big deal..azn8oi ..did u size down ??

So far mine shrank 2 inches form the original waist...u might want to put them on and button up after washing them ...

Good luck

[beatle]

Did you do it ?? Washing them ??

[azn8oi]

Not yet... it's 4AM right now, and my midterm is in 5 hours. I've been too busy preparing for it this weekend.

There's a Los Angeles SuFu meetup on Saturday and I'm thinking about if I want to go or not... I'll probably wash it before the meetup. Hahaha or maybe after is better in case there is MAJOR SHRINKAGE DISASTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

btw lovely fade beatle

[azn8oi]

Oh yeah one more thing...

I was going to use the small questions thread, but it might be more relevant with you guys:

Should I wash these pants inside out, or just toss it in as is? I remember reading before that washing it inside out maintains the creases, and decreases the amount of indigo loss. Is that right? Thing is... I wouldn't mind indigo loss, but if the creases get whacked up, then I'd be a bit more concerned.

Someone help? :confused:

[watchman]

no reason to not wash them inside out. And honestly as long as they've been washed or hot soaked once i wouldn't worry too much about serious shrinkage. go for the wash!

[cheep]

washed mine last night.... weird fading on one of the thighs...

not washing inside-out can leave weird creases and marks made by the washing machine; not a good thing.

your set creases will ofcourse get lost in the wash but they will be back soon enough when they're dry again and you've worn them a bit.
