      It's beautiful denim and worth any effort it might involve. Vertical fading is a dream.

        I can get shrinkage out of the 3xxx denim for about a year…..

          After an initial 50 deg hand wash, my 3005's shrank 2" in the waist.  Mind you they stretched back out 1-1.5" within one day of wear put on damp.  Couldn't do the top button up this morning, and fully comfortable by 6pm. 
          At 6'1" I can't cuff or else they would be too short.  Hope no more shrink in the inseam or I'm rooted!

            At how many washes?

            I already see myself doing the washes just like the bathtub ritual…promises to be loads of fun.

            Keep your jeans on–-and let nothing come in between you and the denim !

                        Here's the "sculpted" look of my FH 3005's, quite looking as if I'm still wearing them…well, almost.

                        They did shed some blue blood!

                            Sure can. Bit tight in the waistline, but wearing them will take care of that. Just have to be careful with the first wash (es). But that's far, far in the future. First wear after bathtub ritual has to wait till my "war wounds" will have healed.

                              and the rear view….

                              I love the feel of raw denim on my body, but my knee bends protest rather loudly against these particular bad boys. First full day of post-soak wear will have to wait.

                                I was thinking about getting one of those from SE on their sale.. I think you pushed me over the edge

                                  Can anyone with both the 3009 and the 634s give me a comparison on fit and denim ? Looking for something different than my busters with more thigh room and I'm pretty sure it's between the fhs and the classic 634s.

                                    The 3009 are 14.5oz, great denim.  The 634s def have more room in the thigh, if you are after a lighter 634S and you can wait, the TW634S (15oz) should be here soon.

                                      Thanks a lot for the advice G, pretty sure im going to go with the classic 634s. 🙂

                                        501 - doesn't look that tight tbh, actually the fit looks like a pretty good one!…

                                          I was thinking of getting that same Flat Head flannel from SE too but the Chest to Shoulder measurements are throwing me off.  I measured the Self Edge way and I can't decide if such a small chest to wide shoulder will work.  I'm looking at the 42.

                                            I'm a medium in IH and a 42 in this flannel. Do keep in mind I gave it a wash and it shrank to perfection.

                                            I just measured the shoulders and get ~19" though, which is about 1.5" more than the shoulders on the IH shirts… Yet (as you can see in my fit pic perhaps) it doesn't feel like that nig a difference…
