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

[ronaldlsh]

I cold soak the whole jeans, and only hot soak them from thigh down. The thigh seems to have strunk about an inch. I will take a detailed measurement when they are dry.

They were damp when I tried them.

@ronaldlsh:

I think I have problem too. My size 36 started off with 37. After the soak, while it's wet, I can only pull the jeans up with only 2 buttons done, and it's tight!

I hope the waist can stretch back to the pre soak measurements..

Don't worry Ron I had the same problems…after an 50minute fight I finally got there that I could close all the buttons.
The first two (from bottom) was good to go,after trying like 40minutes then I used a shoelace tied it around the top button,following by the 2nd button went through the 2nd buttonhole after that around the 2nd button again,up to the top button and through the top buttonhole...pull thight and wear for a few minutes...after that I could finally close all 4buttons

sounds stupid but it worked!

So that would be my advice to all the guys struggling on the button up...!

[ronaldlsh]

I hope I can button all the way up! I just cannot accept the fact that I can't fit into a pair of. Size 36 straight cut jeans hahaha. My 634SB is comfy as hell!

[Finn666]

Once they're buttoned they'll stretch pretty fast to be your favorite jeans
Measuring mine as I write…will post later on!

mine are back to 31 after drying them in front of a heater.

I dig my fit!  The 29 waist fit with no problems, I could probably fit 28.  Losing 30 lbs of fat this year rocks. 
pics tomorrow

@Katsushin:

Got mine today…
Shipped day before yesterday and arrived in rural Northern California this morning!  Craziness...

They are awesome, and beastly, and beautiful, and scary and all that they were billed to be.

Only issue for me is that my tagged 35"s measured 35 raw (when really stretched).  Seriously, I tugged and stretched and could almost get them close to 36, but they aren't quite there.  I tried them on raw and they fit really snug...
My tagged 34 634 have stretched to 36 (and fit pretty loose, andmy 36" 801s and 9634s are a tad roomy) so I figured this would be perfect.

Since I had em' hemmed pretty short (hobbit legs) I'm just gonna cross my fingers and hope it works out.  I was barely able to wedge a 35' piece of wood into the waist band after some effort and went ahead and soaked them in luke warm water...

Power of positive thinking and some New Year's gym time might be just the answer...

best wishes that this work out as you want it…

[Giles]

Kat, fingers crossed, I think (hope) that they work out…..

[nooblet333]

Btw are these jeans soft or rough?

[Giles]

Start off super stiff and hard, after a month of so, get pretty soft…

[Finn666]

^^ do the words "WAR" and "soft" go together?… go figure!

[ronaldlsh]

I think most of finally understood the whole concept of the RAW WAR. It's like us vs the jeans…

That's usually when I tell myself "on to the next one"…

[Finn666]

^maybe you'll think the other way around as soon as they hit the door…hopefully!
Would be great to see you rock these along with us all mate!

Oh, I was just continuing with the recent string of innuendo's G has been dropping as of late.

We'll see.

[Finn666]

^hoping the best mate!

[Katsushin]

Well,
Tagged 35 measured 35 raw and are now at 34 soaked…:(
Not sure what to do.  Very little (to no) hope of getting them buttoned all the way.
Wasn't able to grab a decent pic, but here's the best I could do for now...

[Guest]

Sorry to hear that. I've also decided I am not going to mess with these. Better to leave them as is and hope someone wants to grab a brand new pair at a slight discount. Size 30, hemmed to 35 $390 shipped.

[dave]

Just wear them around for a little bit, Kat.  LIke I said, mine were 29 after a hot soak and they stretched back out to 31.  I couldn't button them at first either.
