My PaulRose slim's shrunk to a 31.5" inseam

damn it shrank a lot. im guessing everything else shrank a bit too right?

thanks for posting up ur results btw

edit: i checked up on blueowl for paulrose and the shrinkage they predicted is way less dramatic than what you got, they basically say to expect no more than a 1" in shrinkage. guess it varies from jean to jean

No, luckily for me I'm really short so I usually hem everything between 30" to 32" so it worked out perfect.

photos please..

im interested for having a pair of paulrose

yep, varies every jean.

but, if shrinkage is unpredictable its will cause a problem with a big guy like me..

Can anyone confirm by looking at those that they are Elephant 2's and not the old ones? They have 30% off everything through tomorrow and they stock N&F and APCs

They are E2s, for sure.

I just measured again to confirm and yeah, they sit between 31.5" and 32" depending on how hard I tug on the denim. I'm sure you can get at least another half inch to inch out of them if you were to tug on the inseam while they were soaking. I didn't because I'm short and I like the chainstitch the jeans came with.

They did shrink up quite a bit everywhere. For reference I went with a size 29, which was quite tight at the waist, but there was like a full inch of extra space at my hips, which went away upon soaking. I'm quite surprised to say that shrinkage in the waist was minimal for me, though I was worried they would shrink too much so I wore them for about a week around my house in their raw state to get some stretching out of the way beforehand. After soaking + wearing the jeans around, the waistband feels to be only slightly looser than it was brand new.

The higher rise/adjusted upper block fit is excellent and is really what turned me on to these jeans, as I don't normally wear weirdguys. I'm hoping that the upcoming WGH cut is close to this.

I'd really like to hear someone else's results as well though, because I feel that it's a little strange that I got so much shrinking in the inseam and so little in the waist.

photos please..

I'll have some fit pictures up in a couple days, whenever the Seattle weather allows for it.

Cool thanks. One other thing..i cant remember if it was here or hypebeast but somebody linked a contest for elephant 2's on some foreign forum. Anyone have that link still?

[dougkyed]

wearing my elephant 2 weird guys right now. these are such a pain to break in if you're not wearing them everyday. i tried to wear them riding my bike to work a couple times and i could barely pedal.

i bought mine back in september and they're starting now to really wear in. that being said, they've been on a rotation with my elephant 1 skinny guys and i don't wear jeans every day because of work. i also got burnt out on them at a certain point because i felt like they were never going to loosen up.

so good luck and be patient haha.

[sehnsi]

My elephant 1's are soft & fuzzy after a year, 1 soak, and 2 washes. It really gets nice with age. I'm just wishing I got them in skinny's and not slim's. They take forever to break in though.

hey i just got a pair of elephant 2 weird guys in the mail today and i've been trying to get them on for about a half hour and my main problem is that four of the rivets have popped off. i was wondering if anybody else had this problem and what i should do about it. thanks

[l1mab3an]

four rivets... lol wtf! Return brother

after 1 week of wearing elephant2, it already felt comfortable for me! Now it's nearly 2 months, even more comfortable.

N&F weird guys indigo about 11 months now and just washed it for the 3rd time

4 rivets.. WTF?? Do you have any pics?

I'd return them or contact N&F. Their quality is really lacking in the elephants. Knowing of at least 6 defects is waay too many for me.

As far as breaking them in, I've barely worn mine. Only in the house for several hrs and they have already gotten more comfortable to walk in and feel pretty nice. They're still stiff as fudge but at least I'm able to move lol.

[thebrik]

yeah i'll probably just email them about it, or maybe i'll just use my dad's rivet gun after i get em broken in enough for me bend my knees when i walk. those should be a lot higher quality anyway.

Dam. How did it happened?

[spike27z]

Just ordered my e2's! $115 with that azaleasf deal, only a

couple hours left

[thebrik]

they just came off while i was putting em on

[Resa Christa]

@thebrick

thats weird..

is the jean to tight?

[thebrik]

yeah they're a lot tighter than i was expecting.

[ac_slater]

I think you just sized down way too much.

I'm not saying it's your fault obviously, because rivets shouldn't fall out...but you said it took 30 mins to get them on?

That definitely means they are way too small and you can bet that is the primary reason they are breaking.
