…broke the 'neph93 rule' and went straight to wash after one week of wear. Washed on cool water setting then spaced out and didn't set to 'delicate' and left it on 'heavy duty'. ???
...they got beat up to be sure but I think its all good. Here's the measurements after the flogging, unwashed new / one week wear, HD wash and drip dry:
waist-18"=36" / 17"=34"
front rise-11 1/4" / 10 3/4"
rear rise-16 1/2" / 16 1/4"
thigh-13" / 12 1/2"
knee-8.9 9" / 8 1/2"
hem-8 1/2" / 8 1/4"
inseam-35" / 34"
...tight and crispy but ready for a long haul of wear now!
