Regarding the content, I think we can live with that size.

OK. If you were to use a magnifying glass and looked at my picture, you will notice that I received a pair of 

s5000vx 25 oz and a pair of as500 19oz.

[demonator]

wtf is an as500 19oz??

[bradl]

Iirc the as line is the ones dyed using natural indigo.

Fitpics or details of the jeans in a larger size and everything's good.

Some close-ups of my 710 blue shadows, now I've had time to take some pics on a proper camera. The colours that have started showing on these are crazy; all shades of blue possible.

[sly235]

I just bought a pair of 710's.  I thought I got the measurements right to get them tapered properly. But they are still a bit wide on the thighs and hips area. It gives me a bit of hip flare. Any ideas on how to shrink it? Or should I just get them tapered again? Would rather not spend another $60 at Railcar, but I don't wanna wear a pair of jeans for 2+ years that look odd.

60°C machine wash without spin would shrink them more (if you haven't done it). A taper alone wouldn't solve your problem (except you would slim then down through the whole leg).

But from those pics, a size down probably would have worked

[sly235]

I already sized down 1 and did 2 hot soaks for 4 hours per time. I've heard about machine washing and putting in the dryer, but from what I've heard it can give you strange creases. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

when I look at the pic from the backside, you could easily go down one size judging by how the waistband sits.

yes, strange creases can happen from washing. depends on how gentle your machien is and what setting you use

Definitely looks like you can go down another size sly235.

^^Ah, right, sorry. It was too early and I had a marriage party in my bones...

Okay, well, rather than try to sell these and by another one sized down. I'd rather spend a little at Railcar to get the waist and thighs taken in. Luckily they are only an hour drive's away. thanks guys.

IMO, swap ... 3-way, if you need to, but don't do another [take in].  it will throw the proportions out of whack.

 

if you're not happy,  sell/trade while they still have value ... thought of spending "a little" might end up costing you the whole jeans.

I actually think BF's suggestion of a machine wash would help quite a bit.  A machine wash will shrink them much more than just a hot soad.  I would try first the wash and then let them dry and try them on again before I dried them. 

[demonator]

those are gonna ba jeggings on you after washing them a couple of times shirnkage still left, but wrong sizing was the root of this

[whackedout]

OK . Looks I'm not welcomed here. See Ya!!!

Are you a girl?

Bad cell phone pics after 5th wash, ~5 1/2 months:

 

 

These are fading really fast so far.
