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

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:

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.

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.

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

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

Many others like to use this product also.

they don't loose too much color, but they'll stop bleeding. Soaking, nothing needed, but I'd change water couplöe of times. That yellowness in water is starch.

[Blackheart]

Dieter, wash them inside out, that prevents color loss. You'll still get some of course but not
as extreme.

thanks to all, will do my best

Wow, what a surprise…

I opened up the cartons that came in today, there were a few IH-634S-RAW in there.

Scratched my head a bit and realised that when Haraki said he had some spare xhs in Hachioji, he meant raw.....
