      You´re right, but I read on this nice forum, you should soak a fresh pair of jeans before you wear them. The stitches should settle and stuff like that. It´s up to you if you soak em or not. It´s the same with washing. If my pair is really dirty, I wash em of course!

        Raw Denim

        Always soak before wearing, not only does this shrink the raw denim to tag size, it also beds in the constructional stitching, lessening the possibility of a stitching problem (e.g. crotch blowout).  Ideally soak for an hour or so in a bathtub or large sink of hot water and drip dry.  If you cannot drip dry, soak up the excess water with an old towel and lie flat on a clothes rack to dry.

          Yeah see: these aren't raw… But it won't change or damage the jeans in any way or form, so don't worry!..

            soaking get excess starch out. if you agitate hem area, they'll soften up and premature fraying might be avoided when cuffin'.

              Maybe you've all seen this, but it's got to be one of the funnier translation software f'ups ever.

              🙂 It is how 'Serubitchi' get's translated which is the Japanese basterdized word for 'selvedge' …

                    I always wash my clothes before I wear them the first time.  Doesn't matter if it's jeans or anything else.  I like to get rid of the starch, sizing, shelf dust, or whatever else might have accumulated in the fabric before I got it.  Comes from when I was a kid and had allergic reactions occasionally to new clothes (or something in them).

                    As others have said, a soak won't do any harm, so don't worry about it and just do your own thing.:)

                      An initial soak will also soften up creases from shipping/storage

                        Anyone noticed the "new" silver buttons in the front?

                            In what way are the new buttons different?

                                  I think they look very classic. There's something to be said for jeans fitting the way they used to. I like 'em.

                                            In retrospect I would have gone TTS as well… I need to drop a few pounds so mine have a little room.
