Is this the slimmer IH fit besides the 666s?
Any of the IH-301S series or IH-9301 are in between the two.

Hello there Beatle Buster/Iron Heart lubbers! Just bought myself a pair of these handsome, handsome jeans online and will be waiting anxiously for the Postman over the next 2-5 days. Anyway as i'm a relative newcomer to the world of raw denim (one pair of Imperial Shearers to my name - unsoaked but looking beautiful after two years of wear) i've a question that you might be able to help me out with and that question is…..do i need to soak these?
I understand that soaking them softens them up but is there a need to do this? If so then why?
And just one more question - if i do soak them then how do i do this? Warm water? Cold water? Lukewarm water?
Your help would be most appreciated! Many thanks....

Thanks for that Seul.
I'm that little bit wiser today…!

@fergz- they're unsanforized so you do have to soak but it really depends how they fit PREsoak. if they're a little tight… cold soak. but if you have room, hot soak. if you do end up hot soaking them, you don't have to boil water! you'll kill the leather patch that way. just turn your faucet/bathtub as hot as it'll allow

Really don't want to make a balls of it so many thanks for that. Have duly taken note of your advice and will apply it!

Just got the delivery today and they are soaked and almost dry. The waist and thighs are good, but I think I need to get a little more off the inseam. This completes the Beatle Buster trifecta for me: B01s, SBGs and Raw. I can only assume that I'll end up the ODs at some point. The BB cut works well for me: ample ass and skinny legs.

Not that great of a picture, but what do you guys think? 5 months and 11 days, 1 cold soak.
