the soaking process of my bk

so,


first, fill a container with boiling-hot water and make sure the water level is enough to cover the jeans.


i turned the jeans inside-out to minimize the fading. well, i don't think this is a must.


then put the jeans in the container.


as u can see, the water turned into darkish-blue instantly. a small piece of weight was used to hold the jeans down. then, i covered it for 3 hours. i did add hot water every hour to maintain the temperature.

after 3 hours

the water is completely black now.









measurement after the soak.
waist : 28.5" / 30(pre-soak)
inseam : 31" / 33.5
f.rise : 8.5" / 10.5
leg opening : 8.5" / 8.5

i believe the shrinkage hasn't reach its maximum yet, and it's kinda weird that the leg opening measured the same after the soaking.

roughly about 4 hours of hanging dry, i tried it on to stretch it for a good fit while it was still slightly damp. it took me some effort to button up the fly as the denim is still stiff as hell.

here's the fitting picture i took this morning when it's completely dry.





although the denim fabric is still kinda stiff and rough, but it's getting quite comfortable already while i'm typing this. it fits like a dream i must say
