Are you a RAW (STF), Selvedge, un-sanforized loyalist ?

weird…for some reason a lot of jeans have more leg twist on the left leg...
We can do anything

@simon626:
One last question: do i buy the jeans in the size 30" or the size 28"?
My waist measures 31".
Thank you thank you thank you! All of you.
Go with the W30. Just wondering why not the IH-634S?
-
Totally understand! The FH should be a great pair for you. Also, did you mean the 1005?

@simon626:
i've never soaked my jeans before for any reason besides extreme dirtiness.
What's the significance behind "presoaking" and/or soaking?
Simon, come on buddy. You gotta do a little research. This should help explain a few things…

TFH jeans are, compared to IH jeans, unsanforized, that means they will shrink about 10% when they touch water! If you don't presoak them and the fit is spot on, they won't fit you any more after you wash or soak them the first time. Keep that in mind when choosing the size.
Yeah, and a little research wouln't hurt, Lando is right.

Simon - Just soak them for 30 - 45 Minutes Inside/ Out. Hang dry until damp. Wear them until dry to set creases and you are ready to go!

@simon- dude, you're gonna have the dopest jeans in LA, until we do an IHF trip of us Bay Area folks down to the new self edge opening in LA… then you'll be taking a breather bro. hahahaha. jp, you made a decision you will never regret.
@shubzz- though i feel that my samurais, at 19oz, are killer and really damn near indestructable, the feeling of a nice 13.75-16 oz jean just really allows you to have a bit of a lighter feeling when moving. but also, legs sweat a ton in heavy denim. i'll give you a full blown comparison when i finally do decide on getting me the 634s

@shubzz- really??? i find jeans + any sun MORE than enough to warm me up (except if there is heavy windchill) you should try a pair of fh's or sams, they have a crunchyness that is pleasing to the denimhead. lol
@simon- see how the jeans fit before you plan your day of soaking man. never go into a situation blind and be scared to adapt. if they fit big, hot, tight, cold and if they have a little room, warm. there is no real method, just do it and dry it. and what did you do on your first day in your 301s? do that again. there is no need to do special rituals or anything. I mean, i know what you are saying and i think its cause this is still kinda new to you and because you are young (i say this in terms that if you do something to the jeans that is irreversable, lets say, shrink it too much, you arent in a normal position to drop another 300 for a new pair…i've been there so that is what i am also basing this on, but have fun man, just do it, like nike, except better quality
