      I've always wondered when soaking jeans in the tub…should I just set them in there or put glass cups filled with water or something to keep them submerged?

        Quick question, what happens if you just wear the raw denim?

        Fat dudes need good clothes too.

          I use water bottles or ten pound weights…whatever's closest to me at the time.

            you will end up with two sets of honeycombs and creases.  One, from the time you spent wearing them before the first wash.  And another set when the denim finally shrinks and the jeans fit you like they are supposed to.  Aside from the separate markings, the unsan. denim is super stiff, so the first/second soaks also help (after you wear them a minute, of course, cause they dry like cardboard) to relax the weave so it doesn't shred itself.

              The constructional threads burst and the denim does not last as long…..

                ^van Olzon experimented with wearing a pair of raw 634SR unwashed IIRC, like seen here:

                      dude, go 64.  what's another flannel (albeit a very nice one) compared to something unique like the 64….

                          Finn is similar to my size, so the 64 would be huge in length and sleeves (in XL). Everyone isn't 6'3" with gorilla arms. The chest is small too for a typical L or XL. Just sayin…

                            i'm somehow a bit scared of that 64 since it's even heavier as the IHSH-72 IIRC!
                            talking of a black shirt, the IHSH-69 comes to my mind as well…

                            so it's either 64, 69 or 70!... hard decision!

                              ^^ the same reason I'm sayin go with the 70. The arm is just to long and I would assume its either shrinking(length wise) or
                              becomes longer after several wash. Either way, both are nice shirt

                                In need of a UK based person who has an eBay account and can bid on an two items tomorrow (21:20-ish CET).

                                Can't bid on them myself as the seller refuses to ship outside of the UK.  😠

                                      Which jeans next???

                                      I have a buddy who likes good denim, but is too lazy to pick them up himself.
                                      I have proxied him some Lee's, Pike Bros 1937 Roamers, I think and 634S's. All of these have been second hand, but in a mint condition. He's same size as me, and doesn't want, or can't wear slimmer than 634's (like me) without sizing up, which will result too loose waist.

                                      He now needs another pair since he's Lee's are falling apart… He's open to suggestions, and actually I get to decide.

                                      Second hands are ok, as long as they are in near mint/pristine condition, as well new ones.

                                      He really likes his 634S, and they fit him perfectly. Almost best fits I've seen around...

                                      So..suggestions, please.
