Griffin you can easy adress it to me directly  well irrelevant if IH or FH it applies obviously for all unsanforised Fabrics so i am not sure if it sucks, But i don't really care myself. As i mentioned already in this Thread especially the 3xxxer Pioneer denim shrinks pretty much especially also with lots of agitation, i would say up to 2" in waist and 3" Inseam and settle after mutiple washings, waist usually stretches back to tagsize depending on cut and Size some size up. D Btw Giles was taking care of FH outside Japan for some big retailers too at some stage in earlier years. I personally own a quite some unsanforised jeans from various japanese brands around my home so I got all my shrinkage out with washing in the machine full spin, thats it for me but like i said I take it as it is and how my jeans come out of the machine nicely shrank. |

thanks for the thoughts guys (and the link to Gile's thoughts)...this is what i figured. just wanted to see if i was safe getting out of them as soon as the tub soak was done or if i needed to go for a couple hours walk.  Yes you're safe. That's what I do after I've soaked them, I take them off right away and hang dry them. |

Great vest. I collected antique native clothing for awhile but the prices became way to expensive to continue. |

Where would I find a reliable size chart for 3005 and 3009? is the 3005 a slimmer fit than the 3009? |

Hit up the mods, I tried multiple times in the past and never got activated and just continued lurking. Recently I tried again and just notified a mod right away and it was fixed in 24 hours. |

3005 is definitely the better fit, although 3009 is kinda wonky. Smaller waist, but bigger thighs, and longer inseam. What's the 3002 fit? I couldn't find it on SE. |

I've attempted registration, so we'll see what happens. If I can join the ranks of the super, then I'll see if I can't get in on it. I'm not thinking I'm into the 9" hem widths, though. |

Yeah, the hem/knee widths are too wide for my liking as well, but I'm guessing that's why bclark added he'll probably have them tapered. |
