crazy question

what would the likely hood be of being able to get fabric samples to favorite customers on items that are coming down the pike?  you have a few folks that are really dedicated & push the brand better than any PR folks you could pay for. not sure how expensive samples are & of course you wouldn't want to put them out too far in advance, but you could even offset the cost by charging a fee for them & build incredible buzz by having your chosen few select the patterns/designs/etc.

just a suggestion/question & i hope i posted this in the correct section :-\

634SR:

In its raw state the denim is about 21.5oz, after washing or soaking this increases to a hefty 23oz or so.

Arcuates.
Selvedge detailing.
Were you looking for a bigger diff? Its an anniversary ed of their most popular cut done up with some bells and whistles. Aside from what you mentioned, I don't think there is much else. Giles? Any extras?

Soak them and then see how the fit changes, go from there. best advice i can give you.

[Beatle]

cuff them without wearing shoes..the leg should should touch the floor…if you do that after soak you should be good to hem..

[Beatle]

the whole thing….

[deadendpro]

fill the tub with HOT water from the tap, throw them in turned inside out, and have them underthat water for the hour. or, if you have some more time, do 30 mins, change water, do 30 more.

you better be ready for a stretch fest and sore thumbs bro… and better be like this 

[deadendpro]

thats the spirit.

Sell them. The proportion on the butt just doesn't look great on your body. The pockets are too large and the back rise is too high. That will not really change when you soak them. However, the waist will change. It will stretch back but why go through all the trouble. They are also much too long. Even with the cuff. I mean you can do a serious cuff or a serious stack but not a serious cuff plus a serious stack. That's just ridiculous. Can't you exchange them? In selling you'd kill too much money. Making them fit and getting them cuffed and sent back and forth is not worth it. Might as well have bought the 634S or another IH model.

They'll shrink 1" in the waist and a good 2 - 3 inches in the leg with a soak.  Once you get the starch out of them and start wearing them they will a) drape better and b) mould to your body.

Yeah: those jeans are nowt for you, Simon. Too bad. I will gladly take that FH bandana of your hands, though 

[Beatle]

Simon - I'll trade you a banana for your FH's

[Seul]

Just buy my Samurais, Simon. 

[Seul]

I would if they were 3001s size 32

If you understand the difference between sanforized and unsanforized then you should be able to answer this one simon; though there are plenty of people who like soaking their sanforized jeans anyway. And the best way to making jeans sit better and set better and all that is to wear them. It all boils down to that man.

[Beatle]

Simon - just give it a try..i generally don´t soak sanforized denim - shrinkage is so minimal - but if you feel like doing it - just do it !
