they knew there would be lots of pics here of you strapping fellas in your jeans, so they sewed 'em up extra tight on purpose  [br They will be sadly disappointed with mine. Do what I'm planning on doing: add a roll of dimes. |

And you have to put them on to shrink to fit. But once they dried on me they were taken off, sealed in a ziplock and put in my closet. Photos to come later. EDIT: To be clear, the photos will be of the jeans in the bag. Didn't want to make anyone scared there... |

What's the consensus...3 sizes up on these for best results, or 2?

What's the consensus...3 sizes up on these for best results, or 2? I went up one (37 - 38slim). Didn't get much shrink with a cold soak But I'd think with a hot soak and if needed thrown in the dryer you'd get much more. It seems they have sewn up a bit small. So For me one size up worked. But I have No ass so a smaller upper block is ok. |

But I have No ass so a smaller upper block is ok. With the post-soak results I've seen, I went up 2 sizes (35str-37). I prefer to warm soak my unsanforized denim, though. Plus, I'll be wearing these to work, and they will be getting regular warm washes. So, I want to get as much shrink out of them, right away. |

I would like to have done it this way but there's no size 39. Couldn't see going up to a 40. So cold soak it was. |

Until now, I had not realized how advantageous it is that G added size 37. |

About the Denim itself.
I like it, Yes it could be heavier But it'll make a nice Spring/Summer and some Fall/Winter wear.
The Weft is much darker IRL.
It has a very smooth hand and very saturated blue. which should make any fadeing really Pop.
I didn't get much Smurf Murder in the tub with a cool soak. So I'm thinking that with the brown weft these will be hard Faders. Most likely will get that Patina look over a sick fade look, time will tell.
Not something I have in a denim so All and all a good buy for me.

Mine didn't show, hopefully tomorrow since there's no evidence they've fallen into the Sparks NV three day sinkhole. |

Mine were scanned through the sorting facility at MKE, a little over an hour ago. They always arrive the next afternoon. I will post numbers, when I have them in hand.
