Self Edge x Flat Head

[braid]

however kiya gave me some advice to break them in.

care to share?

pruple, those are going to hurt post-soak....recommend dry clean only.

I found a sz 32 from a kind gentleman on styleforum. Can't wait to try them.

[unklesteve]

Boil-soak and 10 minutes in the dryer took these down to a true 32.

Fit. Is. Perfect.

Not too tight in the thighs, waist is perfectly snug.

I would post pictures, but my wife killed my camera.

[pruple]

braid, i'm procrastinating on doing a 20 min cold soak. they fit great right now... mind you, there is some room in the waist and thigh- so who knows.

To anyone who has been breaking in a pair for the past week, how much has the waist stretched? Just wondering how much to expect on my pair and if I need to trade for a size down or not.

[Dam Its Johnny]

Everyone has been dropped or added as requested.

Kiya still has not said what the contest will be judged on.

my pair hasnt stretched too much. however they are a tad too big for me in the upper block so taht may be a reason why.

What about you, Leonard Leroy? Any idea how much your size 29s have stretched? The fit on my size 30 is pretty killer right now, but most of the shrink is gone and if the waist is going to stretch an inch I don't think they're gonna fly.

[Leonard Leroy]

They stretched pretty damn easily while wet. They're pretty slouchy now and relaxed, but that's what I wanted. I actually think there's still some shrink to go though. Maybe I'll give them one more soak.

[beatle]

i just picked these up. apparently i missed the mailman at the door... despite the fact i was home, haha i'm an idiot.

Yes , well done !

[royhuang]

hm i already room temperature soaked for 45 minutes and worn it for about 2 weeks and it didnt shrink to my liking should i soak again in hot water that doesnt ruin the fading qualities amirite?

I don't really think it will help as much if you are doing it the 2nd time the fact that the first time still stretched out, but what do I know, worth to try it.

[Opie]

Any one of you 29'ers out there thats looking to get rid of yours?

If they touch water twice you will not get good faaadddeezzzz.

[sidneylo]

Everyone has gotten way too damn paranoid about the fit within the first two weeks. Keep rocking your jawns, yo.

Boil.

Dryer.

Grow a pair.

I bought a pair of 29s since I'm normally a 29. They're stiff as hell, which scares me since I don't usually wear denim that rough. The thigh area is crazy tight too but I play football (translation: soccer), so I guess I don't have the girly thighs required to pull these off. ><.

I think I'm going to get rid of mine. PM me if you need a 29, I've never worn them out, just tried on for the fit, tags and everything still intact.

Stop being a punk. WEAR YOUR JAWNS.

[MindxMatters]

Sid, convince someone with a 28 to sell them to me. Do itttt.

[Leonard Leroy]

shiyittt i could have gone 28 if i wanted to, a 29 was exactly what my heart desired.

pansy

[pruple]

went ahead and soaked 'em warm for in and around 1 hour and 20 minutes ( i kinda lost track ).

some quick measurements:

pre-soak

waist: 30.something

inseam: 38

leg opening: 7.5

post-soak

waist: 29.5 - but i stretched them when they were wet, they're back to a bit over 30

inseam: 36

leg opening: 7

overall everything got a tad more snug. at first shit was almost too tight, but after a day of light wear running errands and what not, they're starting to feel good. i'm eager to see how these are going to fit in about 20 or so wears.

[Junetastic]

Fit looks hot.

[YIKES]

right on! H&R suspension t-shirt!

[kenp315]

The soak did wonders, looks fantastic pruple.

[braid]

pruple, those do look good.

ordo, where are your pics?

Post your pics people...

[Shishido]

does anyone have a sz 32 indigo they wana sell? or anyone want a size 32 bk? the bk's are too big for me

[Leonard Leroy]

think i'm going to give one more hot soak or wash because the indigo got on the threading in the front and turned it greenish. It's annoying me. What do you guys think?
