amazing stuff kiya ... i had an estimated delivery for the 13th but luckily got them yesterday. did a hot soak and let the dry overnight.

ill post up pics later today

ps: love the "you got jawns" tape you guys have!!!

 

[LA Guy]

I sized up one, and they are have bit of waist gap/room presoak, so I figure that a nice lukewarm brine, followed by a cold rinse, will give it the effect I'd like. Really nice product.

apparently Dry Bones included a black tab randomly in the coin pocket of some of the jawns. mine didnt come with one unfortunately.

if someone has the tab and doesnt want it, PM me. i wanna attach it to mine like i did with my 09 collab

fit pics ... sorry had to do timed shots cuz gf out of town. so not great, slightly out of proportion and dark, but you get the idea

true size 29. got 27 in 09's and 29's in these 12's

Awesome. I'm convinced. Buying these today. Did you hem at all?

 

[randomkoreandude]

nah just 1 hour hot soak shrunk the inseam and top block. checked the water like 2 times to make sure it was right temp.

prolly wont hem now. stacking looks really good and ill likely start rocking a decent cuff once it gets warmer

 

[MIKE_JE]

^ What is your height? Stacks look great.

I was considering buying these a size down because I like the measurement in the leg opening, and because the measurements say they will stretch back out an inch, but it seems like it would be nearly impossible to button the waist if I did that even considering eventual stretch. You think TTS is definitely the way to go?

im 5'7/5'8

i went tts. pre-soak it was ever so slightly roomy in waist but fit well in top block. it was hard to tell since this is 24oz denim and it was so hard to begin with.

post-soak it fits perfectly in top block. i feel like i COULD have gone down a size to 28 to get the waist tight against my stomach, but then whole crotch area woulda been painful for a long time before it stretched out. so yeah i would advise tts. posts on sufu all come to same consensus

 

[MIKE_JE]

Perfect. I'm heading over to Self Edge when I get a moment off work. Thanks for the fit pics. I'm sold. Is that a Real McCoy's or Warehouse henley you are wearing? I'm trying to gauge sizing on those as well.

Nice fit... but I think these jeans are too slim for me in the thigh

 

[MIKE_JE]

I hot soaked mine and they shrunk barely an inch in the inseam. Definitely soaked them in the hottest water out of the tap my bathtub has for an hour. Inseam now measures just over 37 inches.

What shrinkage are other people getting?

 

[LA Guy]

I got an inch - lukewarm soak for half a day.

I sized up one to 33. The waist post soak still has a bit of gap, but the thighs and rest of top block are pretty fitted. A size 32 might have been a little uncomfortable on the nutall area. Great jeans.

Thanks. I'll definitely need to get these hemmed now. I actually sized down, but I'm pretty skinny. The measurements down 1 were a bit more to my liking, but I'm about to endure a brutal break-in.
