It's hard for me to imagine the state of a thread in which Edmond's pictures could save it, but that seems to have happened here. (and now to complete the backhanded compliment) They look great.

nice job ed. Those 21 oz are warm, that is commitment.

i think im a natural waist 31-32 but my thighs are kinda big so i went 32, the 2ndx710 shrank from tagged 32 to maybe a 30 or so but they stretched within 30 min of me busting my thumb tryna button em they fit fine so it shouldnt really matter

but you shoudl really true to size to get a nice fit

I went true to size with my 710xx2nds, and I made a mistake. I haven't been able to soak or wash them because the waist is pretty tight and doesn't like to stretch.

I'm afraid to soak or wash them because if they shrink in the waist even half an inch, I won't be able to fit in them.

I should've sized up one or two - probably two.

Wear them in the bath whilst soaking?

Nah. I might wear them a few more weeks to see if they stretch and do its first soak then.

stick a hanger in the waist while soaking. that's what I did and the waist came out perfect, and they WILL stretch so don't worry.

710xx I just got, size 33.

Postsoak, was about 45 minutes

I'm a 32, but decided to size up for the 710s. They fit well on

the waist, but the knee and below is less slim than I had hoped,

even without the stacks. Any ideas? I didn't find any 710s in 31 or 32.

Maybe taper, I dont think hotsoaking again would do much significant change?

If so, besides the chainstitching could most tailors do the taper?

just toss them in the wash on hot and get the shrinkage out they will be good!

yeah unfortunately too big. Sizing up one for me usually works for other slim jeans, but not this time I guess.

they had just been hotsoaked for 45 min so I don't think another hotsoaking again with achieve much? just assuming, hence the questions.

Hot-washing will shrink your sammies wayyyyyyy more than a hot soak.

45 minutes wont do shit bro for full shrinkage you need to man up and use that washer.... why you think jeans come in one wash...not one soak.

Yes.

co-sign on what Selaviso said

Wash, on hottest setting. Take out before spin.

Soaking doesn't get nearly enough, agitation is key

Yes.

In conclusion, if you want more shrinkage, do a hot soak. I personally think you should've done more research on Samurais before you bought them.

I'm out of focus because the camera's focused on the background, but here you go. These are 710s, but they have golden arcs because they're the 710xx2nd collab.

Taken earlier this afternoon, no soaks/washes, approximately one month of actual wear, true-to-size but waist is tight.

^ put them in the washer, but make sure that the water is hot. not mild. and if that doesn't work, put them in the dryer. I remember my s0500 going through at least 2 washes i think to settle down. and maybe cuff.

alright, thanks for the help guys. ill hot wash them tomorrow, maybe use the dryer and see if that helps. Sorry for any redundant questions

yo dont worry it should be fine, just like the regular lot 10s im true wwaist 32 and mine shrank but stretched back out once you are able to button em up and wear em a but they just stretch so the wasit is fine on mine and remind you i have pretty big legs

aq X, i think you should either sell them or hot wash those asap before you set your creases and things even worse than you already have. the longer you keep wearing them raw the worse you are going to make it. personally i think you should just sell them. the waist will stretch back out after the wash but it looks like it'll get pretty snug everywhere else. it's doesn't look like you have an abundance of room in the crotch as is right now [no 'mo] and after a hot wash it'll be pretty uncomfortable.
