Hi Y’all,

Mentioned a while back that I would be posting some post soaking 0701 pics on the blog. Enough talk and here we go, some soaking pics of the 0701 Tight Fit Momotaros for your reference and viewing pleasure.

The jeans were soaked in cool water (30 degrees Celsius) for about half an hour and then hand dried outdoors overnight. The good thing about soaking the jeans in cooler water in addition to lighter shrinking is that there is very little indigo/ color loss and the jeans retain their natural dark color.

As a result the jeans did shrink about an inch from the waist. The length also shrunk about two inches. The soaking improved the fit but the waist was stretched few times to ensure the waist size did not shrink all too much. Below you can see a picture of the 0701 Momotaros in raw form (left) and post soaking (right). Soaking the jeans in hot water for a longer time would have shrunk the jeans more but since the jeans will shrink a bit after the next few washes a “lighter” treatment was applied just to soften up the jeans a bit, heh.

Few post soaking pics from different angles.

Maybe we’ll post some pics of the jeans after few months to check the progress but I think this is enough for for the moment. We’re scheduled to post the size charts on the site shortly, apologies for the slight delay in that but we’re working on it, heh. If you have any questions on the sizes just contact us and we’re glad to get back at you.

That’s all for now. Enjoy the Sunday and have a fresh week ahead.
