@Jesselirola:

it was damn near impossible to get the fuckers buttoned.

Right, I havent soak yet, but I encounter the difficulties too, I am anticipating a tough time after soak.

are they hard to button cuz the buttonholes aren´t flexible/ big enough for the buttons or cuz you guys sized wrong?…

[Giles]

I suspect the former, they are a complete bitch to button.  My fingers are still raw, and I was just buttoning them up to do the measuring…...

Giles's right. button holes….
It is just a matter of time for the holes to be loosened but since we are anticipating this before soak, I'd do extra to when it is still damp.

Probably insert a slightly bigger item into each holes while hanging to dry, could work. I dunno yet.

Okay guys, question: Should I soak these babies inside out or leave them right side out?…

[Giles]

I dont think it really matters, but Haraki recommends inside out, but then they are a bitch to get right side out…..Just do not tumble to dry.....And always wash these inside out.....

[obbigood]

I guess its your choice 
There is no right or wrong.

I do it inside out.

SR's were the same way to start, it didn't take too long for them to ease up a bit. I am just guessing, since I don't have mine yet, that these will be very similar.

[Blackheart]

I always do jeans inside out so these will get soaked that way. I never tumble dry jeans so
we're all set!

Thanks G & James!

[Finn666]

wondering who will post pics next, besides obbi and jesse :)…

[Blackheart]

Soaked mine last night, was a bitch turning them right side out while they were still wet!
I'll get pics up this weekend, most likely Sunday.

[kit99bar]

black did you happen to get the shrinkage numbers?  just waist and inseam would be plenty useful for everyone here I think

[Blackheart]

kit the waist and inseam length were the same as the size listed on the IH sizing page,
34 waist was 35 pre soak and the 36 length measured 37 pre soak.
I'll put up post soak measurements on Sunday with the pics.

[Finn666]

so you bought´em unhemmed right?

@Blackheart:

… on Sunday with the pics.

 

[Blackheart]

Yes Finn, unhemmed. I want to see how much actual shrinkage occurs before I possibly
hem them. I like to cuff my jeans but if these are way too long on me I'll get them shortened
but not until I soak them a couple more times.
