I may get another pair of STFs soon just longer this time - +3 inches instead of +2 </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/live-blog-tonight-jumping-in-the-tub-with-my-501stfs-in-5-min#post-574 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:43:38 +0000 Kane 574@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>Yup scotty, the outseam (total L) shrinkage was 2.45"(avg of left and right). The inseam L shrinkage, btw, was 2.0"(avg). Your preshrunks shrunk almost 3"? What! I would imagine that there is no difference between made in Mexico and made in Haiti - I am satisfied with the quality of mine although i don't have any other pairs to reference them with. </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/live-blog-tonight-jumping-in-the-tub-with-my-501stfs-in-5-min#post-573 Mon, 22 Mar 2010 20:50:07 +0000 scotty 573@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>So your length was about 2.5 inches. Mine was near 3 and are too short. I went with preshrunks but I may try again and go 3 inches larger like you did (and the label recommends) Mine are made in Mexico. Are the Haiti made ones better? </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/live-blog-tonight-jumping-in-the-tub-with-my-501stfs-in-5-min#post-572 Mon, 22 Mar 2010 03:55:26 +0000 Kane 572@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>Well, i didnt jump into the tub with my jeans on but i did soak them two days ago. I was planning to wear them unshrunk for a while but i only lasted 4 days before i lost my patience and was eager to shrink them down. And shrink down did they ever - wow, these 501 STF's completely transform after a good soaking, even in cold water. </p> <p>1. Before soaking my STF's(tag W33 L31, no XX, made in Haiti)the measured W was 35.0", the R outseam was 106.7cm and the L outseam was 106.4cm.<br /> 2. Soaked 'em for 22 min in cold water, inside in.<br /> 3. Layed them over the toilet to dry.<br /> 4. Post soak measurements: W - 33.3", R outseam - 100.3cm, L outseam - 100.4cm<br /> 5. Shrinkage: W - 1.7", R outseam - 2.52", L outseam - 2.36" </p> <p>I am delighted with the results and everything went as expected but one has to wonder if these pants are made from cotton or cardboard - man, are they stiff !(luv it!). The length is now almost perfect, they are on the short side but i like them that way and the W is still a bit big but i dont mind a looser fitting jean. The next pair i buy will be at least 1" longer and the W, 1" or 2" less. I now plan to wear them as long as possible - maybe 500+ hours, without washing(I dont think i can go the 2500+ hrs you did with your One Year Jeans, Ned! - that's quite a feat). Can't wait to start seeing those high contrast wear lines and tres cool natural fade spots! </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/live-blog-tonight-jumping-in-the-tub-with-my-501stfs-in-5-min#post-566 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 23:33:49 +0000 scotty 566@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>for me, i did my first wash in the shower and i think the color turned out great - just the length sucks now.

I have a pair from aug. 09, ready for 1st washing. can't decide to go tub/shower/machine. good fading in certain areas, some creases and lines of wear. it NEEDS to be done soon, will post later. </p> http://forums.nedsferatu.com/topic/live-blog-tonight-jumping-in-the-tub-with-my-501stfs-in-5-min#post-564 Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:04:55 +0000 scotty 564@http://forums.nedsferatu.com/ <p>What length did you start with and how did they turn out?
