Thanks :-)

Peanut- yeah, my keys on a brass clip. I keep a carabiner on every pair and just take the keys off.

mlyngard - better inside-out or normal when initial soaking?

^ it doesnt matter. You could wash them and get more shrinkage and starch out than if you just soaked them. just do it

Agreed. Lately I've been doing a hot soak in the tub and then wash on gentle, (inside out for the first time) and then a short machine dry to soften them and finish any shrink if any is needed.

I guess everyone finds what works for them, but there's no rule. Except get that starch and shrink out early.

Those look great on you Renatho. Mine had some second shrink, but I'd say the first hot soak took care of 90% of it. I don't think you'll see more shrink until you wear them for a while and then wash, but it won't be much unless you use a dryer.

Great to see this thread gathering speed again, and great to see more pics.

Apologies if I mismeasured. You can definitely stretch them because I didn't wear them much. Momos are tough, but I stretched my 28s by soaking the waist and then wearing them wet.

those 0705 looks great in you. what do you think slimmer between 0705 and 0701?

My Momotaro 0705SP, 7 months, 3 consecutive washes after that...I recommend these jeans be washed after at least a year to get better fades haha wish I held out longer!
