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

[Jestre]

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…

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.

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.....

hey everyone, im curious to know who had the most and the least shrinking in the waist area.

I'm wearing a 32 in BB indigo, the waist measured 31 BRANDNEW and now stretched quite a bit to 33" because in the process i gained a few lbs and lost it. Im aware the stretching is based on how tight it is to begin with.

I am thinking of picking up the 634SRAW in 31 or maybe even a 30. Any suggestions?

Is there anyone that has the BB indigo in 32 that bought a sz 30 in these?

Here is an old pix of my BB indigo.. excuse the hand sign pls

I also have a 32 in 634S. It is a little loose, same reason why i picked up a 32 in BB

[elclintor]

I have the busters in 32 and originally ordered these in 31.. Upon arrival, the presoak fit was tight on my waist, so I ended up getting a 32 in these… After soaking the 32's they fit just right.

Keep in mind that this denim is completely different than the 21oz, and is like rough cardboard. So if you are a glutton for punishment, get the 31's. If you are completely insane, then go for the 30's....

Just my opinion...
