2 hot soaks. drying right now..

Looks like a beautiful day out there. I'm reallly envious.

[mdngnd]

Ha, it's not even December 1st here in the US yet, and you've already soaked yours twice.

Posted starting pics and wore them into the tub. I just realized today that I'm too tall for my bathtub, so I couldn't submerge my legs all the way. Everything came out fine though.

So we can start???

just as long as its within 24 hours of Dec 1.. which it is??

im confused haha

Sorry guys should have made it clearer.

Some participants are in different parts of the world where the time zone is earlier than the time zone of Germany.

For them, December 1st starts earlier, that's why I said they can start earlier as long as it is within 24 hours before December 1st in Germany. As the clock I posted shows the time in Germany.

Besides, I only posted the code word yesterday so it's unlikely that anyone could have guessed I'd use the birthplace of Mr. Strauss as the code-word;)

I wish I could dry mine in the sun, but alas it is night time and they would freeze.

So, start or what?

How much shrinkage did you get out of your 37s in the inseam?

I just got 2 after my first soak and I'm think of throwing them in one more time to see if can get anymore.

2 inch sounds about right

Guys I need your help here, my '33 hasn't much room left for me in the waist, I would say it's quite tight actually. So should I soak them? Or maybe soak them while wearing them to prevent any waist shrinkage?

Quite confused here...

[ah_long]

^ they'll stretch back out

I would cold soak to shrink the length and get some leg twist, then spin if possible, and wear until dry. I usually go true to size in the waist with lvc and this will keep the waist from shrinking. It may take a few wears to stretch back to original size.

[davidschlott]

Great fit LC!

[jpsmith98]

nice fit, lc.

so i hot soaked and machine dried my 1901s. i was a bit anxious about how they would fit when i dried them on dry, but they've shrunk up nicely and i'm loving the fit.

[Chipper]

Dont know if this would be appreciated in the photo only thread so ill try it here..

A Study In Cuffs...

Starting with how they look un-cuffed..

And for cuffs ill start with the "Classic" cuff..

The "Double Cuff"

The "Short Cuff"

And finally my personal favorite the "Cool Kids in Arizona"

Which do you guys prefer?? I wonder if someone in 1933 put this much thought into how they cuff their work pant

[ADDIC]

personally, i like the "classic" cuff. thats what i plan to do with my 1947s.

anyway, i tried them on 10 minutes ago. and i think they can shrink a bit more in the thigh. so i'm going to do a second soak tomorrow.

On slim straight jeans I prefer a double cuff

[davidschlott]

Pre-Soak

Waist --- 33.25

Inseam -- 35.5

Post-Soak

Waist --- 31

Inseam --- 33.25

I think I'm going to cut the cinch back off. It's already annoying me lol.

[ah_long]

if someone could tell me how to rock the 1937s, it is the baggiest out of the bunch of jeans that I have and most of my clothes are fitted.. I am having a hard time trying to match my wardrobe with this..

[Medine]

I think that a fitted shirt and tops look good with the contrast of a baggier pant... i just think you have to wear more traditional pieces tho, like oxford shirts or crewnecks look good to.. and boots over sneakers, but a old school sneaker like a jack purcell or stan smiths or something would work too

[ah_long]

i'll probably be doing the stan smiths..

good tip on the oxford shirts/crew necks

somehow your 33 501 looks slimmer than my 37, i'll post fit pics tml morning

[Medine]

im surprised about that too, theyre slimmer than i thought but i am wearing them pulled up alll the way to try and eliminate hip flair
