IH-634S-B - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Overdyed Indigo

[7tacos]

I say go for it. Max Power got some shrinkage on an od piece: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=282.600

I have a couple of od jackets and I've washed one mine in cold water and it looks virtually identical.  I'd not hesitate to do a hot soak/hand wash a couple of times.  Haraki's od is pretty stout stuff IMO.

I would flip them inside out and then hot wash/hot dry them.  Looks like yours needs a wash anyway.  you will get more shrink with a machine wash/dry

[7tacos]

I'll also add that I love od.  It's so tough looking and the treatment does so many cool things to the fabric.

[Max Power]

You can get a cetain amount of shrinkage with a super hot wash, but don't expect miracles. It's not more than a half size, as a rough guess. Maybe a dryer might add a bit.

Regarding the colour: Unless I'm in bright sunlight, overdyed fabric seems always black-greyish to me. Real electric blue is not that common to my experience.

You also have to keep in mind that it'll stretch out again in an eyeblink.

Thanks for the advice from everyone explaining how I could post pics on here. I'm not really into the baggy look but I'm definitely not into the skin tight look either. So here's some pics of when they first arrived and I put tried them on. So sorry if I sound repetitive but based on these pics will these stretch out more and give me that straight leg cut look? These just seem like skinny jeans to me.

Northstar, that fit looks great on you. Doesnt look skinny at all, actually looks a lil relaxed imo. The jeans will stretch but only where they "need" to. Since the thigh and knee look loose on you im pretty certain those areas will barely stretch at all.

[NORTHSTAR612]

Thanks pillow it's the legs that bother me. That's the part that I want to stretch the most. Outward that is.

634s is not a baggy fit. They are a straight leg and being that those are brand new they are 1st going to stretch and loosen up with wear.

Those look spot on to me NorthStar

[NORTHSTAR612]

Advice/Comments appreciated everyone I'll post some more pics after I've worn them for awhile.

Only an old pic of the patch from when I first got them..really liking these now.
Had about 5 months wear/one wash and are starting to get a nice sheen on the thighs and rear and got some nice blue poking through.

Northstar, this is what I call a perfect fit…
And yes, they will stretch, don't worry, you will be happy!

@Northstar, that's a LONG way from a skinny jean. Per georgeel, they're perfect, wear them in and you'll see/agree.

If it's snug in the waist, I can see him being more comfortable in a size up.

[xchen]

They look great with those light red wings.

[davito]

They are good northstar, waist will stretch no sizing up necessary. This is a great jeans you will see

[RedStripe]

These look darker in real life, the area to the left shows the sheen, not fading.

[JCar2666]

Did you decide if you'll rerun these G?

[Giles]

Still thinking…....
