@Jestre:

The eagle has landed.

ooh wee!…

[Blackheart]

Yay Jestre!

[Jestre]

Soaked and drying now.  After reading through this thread several times. . . I got the pliers & the blowtorch ready to button them up in a few hours.

[Jestre]

Just got these on, still a little damp.  The buttons were tough but I think I had better luck than others.  I doubt I'll take pictures tonight but they'll be up tomorrow for sure.

First new pair of IH denim I've owned since I bought my 634S's three years ago.  I cannot wait to break them in!

@Giles:

And we have a pair of unhemmed 36 waist available…..(some greedy bastard ordered 3 pairs and decided he only need 2)......

G I noticed these sold, Did you get my email?

[Giles]

To be honest I forgot you had a pair there.  I have added them to stock…..

cool, did not want anyone to miss out on size 36 if they need these in there life.  If you are size 36 you better hurry!!  probably will not last long.

That Fit..!! Amazing..!

[thomasnunnally]

Yep, perfect fit IJ!

[TinMan]

do not hate me I have not even soaked these yet.  I got two pair of size 35 one pair tagged 35X36 and the other is tagged 35x40, G hemmed to 38.  I am going to soak the 35x38 first so I can sport a nice cuff.  hopefully this weekend, fingers crossed!!

Decided to do some proper fit pics this morning.  I hot soaked these for an hour & wore them for a day but didn't feel that they shrank appropriately so I gave them an extremely gentle hot wash (without detergent).  The fit is the best I've ever had on a fresh pair of jeans:

[elclintor]

did they shrink more with the wash? debating on whether or not to do the same…

[Jestre]

Yes El.  They shrank up a bit more in all the right places.

[injunjack]

Clint, go for secong soak/wash. Me thinks the second soak did it. (almost) So my next (3rd) wash will also be hot one.
just IMHO

[elclintor]

Cool, thanks dudes…

[Blackheart]

They look perfect Jestre! Yeah, the second wash is the magic one, especially a machine wash.
I'm doing a third hot wash this weekend and that should hopefully set the denim shrink wise.

[rocket]

seems they turned out in a very good way Jestre, enjoy…

I gave them an extremely gentle hot wash (without detergent).

doesn`t it lose a lot of the color if you wash it (instead of soaking)
extremly?  how many degrees??

and a general question concerning the soaking:  do you ad something??

thanks
