Thanks, buddy.

I did a one hour hot soak when I got them...suckers are long! Which is also why they suffer the indignity of cuffing when where them with this blazer. It's exactly that LVC vibe that I use to justify doing the Opie on them.

I have to decide soon which way I'm going with them, though. Do you hate the cuffs like everyone else?

I think this thread would greatly benefit from a summary Soak 101 discussion

Exactly. Yes, a bunch of evil bastards and witches ye olde vox family.

I'm trying to turn the family path toward good. It's become easier since all the important ones are now dead.

It's more traditional to make them by scratch at home, just the way white people make their own SPAM at home.

I thought my eyes deceived me, but there's the confirmation: huevos rancheros on an Indian restaurant menu.
