    Been examining the measurements of current batch once more, and if ever someone wanted lower rise BB's this is the time…

      These came in a few days ago, wow.. I've had unsanforized before but after first blazing hot soak these were the stiffest things I've ever felt, forget cardboard. Steel. Did second super hot soak last night for 2 hours, inseam only shrunk 1 inch which was good too, I got there larger on purpose, sick of tight fits.. But how long do these take to soften up??

        They soften nicely in 7-10 days. Also, if you want the full shrink, agitation by hand is needed. I got 2.5in out of my inseam after 2 hot soaks with hand agitation.  The waist shrinks an inch and everywhere else shrinks about 0.5in. Enjoy Nerk.

                    Get the Vulcans- same denim, but with the wider thighs of the 634.  If extra layer of denim in the back pockets bothers you, they can be removed, as others have demonstrated.

                    Been thinking about this recently, myself…

                      I sized up and the thighs were still baggy, I thought they would be tight but they worked good

                        I considered these but the leather is so tacky, I can't get past it

                          Nerkg I think you would be right if the leather used was some cheap BS. The leather triangle serves as a reinforcement for the pocket. It's just an alternative or an addition in this case I guess to rivets. Or I guess I mean to say I think it's barely noticeable when you actually wear them:..

                            And, Haraki and I chose it specifically so it should age as the denim ages.  And tacky of not, it is there for people who want to clip a knife/tool there.  Ask Seul to show you his jeans that did not have a leather patch like that….

                                Mine is already aging nicely and I don't use knives, I just like it.

                                  Decided not to sell these.. Did another HOTTT soak and turned them inside out in the dryer with great results, got the waist from 35.9 down to 33.3

                                    Also, I like these but really don't like to go back to non-heavy pocket bags, feels so flimsy

                                      glad you aren't selling. think they are a great fit for you & i had to do everything in my power to avoid buying them once you put them up for sale.

                                        Someone who knows please , not speculating..
                                        I soaked these three times and now the starch is gone and they are soft, does this mean they will fade like the 21oz with less contrast, or does it only have to do with the type of denim

                                          it only has to do with the starch being used for the denim. losing the starch after a couple of soaks/washes isn´t a bad thing to happen. the denim stays the same, it´s just that the fabric doesn´t "brake" as easy as it would with a lot of starch in it. also it could be possible, that you ain´t getting those high contrast fades, since the denim isn´t that stiff anymore which means it "bends" easier.
                                          not sure why these should fade like the 21oz denim with less contrast though?!…contrast is something you get when wearing a pair of denim as long as possible without giving it a soak/wash! if you wash your pair every week/month, the contrast isn´t going to be as much as it is with a pair washed once a year!...so no, they won´t fade like the 21oz with less contrast. these gonna fade like the 18oz and you might be able to get a nice contrast if you just wear´em for a long time without washing...as soon as everything´s in place you can wash whenever you feel like it!

                                          hope it answered your question!?...
