IH-634S-RAW - 21/23 ounce raw straight cut

so hot water + hottest radiator = max.shrinkage ?

if i`d coldsoak´em but then using the hottest radiator for drying, would i get the same results or is the combination above better for max shrinkage…?

[ronaldlsh]

Damn, no such thing as a radiator here.

[Giles]

I really believe that it is the speed of drying that determines the amount of shrinkage.  I've never measured it scientifically though….

[Finn666]

really would be interesting to know though…maybe one day!

thanks for the info though...was new to me tbh!

G is right, fast hot drying will cause major shrinking ( radiator, dryer ) so be careful…
Drying them in a warm room ( I used the kitchen ) I found worked the best.

[Finn666]

only thing i had was my mums hairdryer…did the job as well!

well they´re still damp and i´m still trying to button them up 

[Blackheart]

Good luck Finn, I shall face the same challenge when I get home.

[Finn666]

still not a single button closed… 
starting to getting pissed!

I second G and BH…. If  Less shrinkage I air Dry, if I want more shrink I hot dry....

My new denim suit should be with me next week......  634sRaw and IHSH-45.  Wanted the IHD-01 but I did not have the funds.

2 more to go…

Try buttoning several times while not wearing to loosen the holes a bit. Make sure you pee before putting them on.

Nice. Get on that. I want to see how mine will turn out. Go!
Supahotsoak that muthafuckaaaaaaaaaa!

Going to have to sit this one out (or lose some weight real quick!).  Tried on a pair of 36s at SE and the fit was pretty good but that was pre-soak.  They would have hurt pretty bad post soak (or I wouldn't have been able to get them on).

Looks like I'm going to be 4F in the RAWWAR.

why don´t you cop a 38, do a superhotsoak, use the hottest radiator you can find and then you should be good to go…
otherwise cop the 36 and soak while wearing the jeans...after that wear to dry!

i had the same "problems" tbh...my presoak fit was just right at the waist, then i did a 30min. coldsoak and after the soak i had major problems to button all the buttons...now, after the war, all buttons are closed and the denim has almost stretched back to presoak measurements!

[kit99bar]

shoreman, I'm not sure I can super hot soak this one! haha
