First soak

Hi Everyone,
i m very new to this forum and i just rewarded myself a pair of IHXB01XRAW today. This is very first pair of IH denim for me.
after read through this thread, i got a lot of information, great pics too.
But i can't find a case like me i think. Today, i grab size 34 BBRAW from Tuckshop, S'pore.
Waist and thigh seem ok even in RAW but i wanna shrink some inches of inseam and leg opening.
So, kindly suggest me what should i do. Thanks. -
Thanks for your reply Giles,
Hot or cold soak, which one i need to do bcoz Waist and Thigh areas are just fit in pre-soak and i also don't want quite slimmer but some tapered fit.
btw, i think new member can't upload the pics, right?
@Giles:Well, you have to soak them and then you will lose an inch or two. The leg opening will hardly alter at all. If you want a slimmer opening, you have the wrong cut.

great to hear mate!
how did you size those compared to a pair of your 634S's and how would you compare the fits in the different sections?
thanks in advance N. -
i went with my actual true waist size on these which is 32, in my various 634 cuts i generally stuck with 30 waist, though my first pair were 29 (it was a painful battle but they are perfect now). i feel like i have the range of motion that i have in all my 634 cuts if not a bit more. i like that the rise is a bit higher than the 634…especially the rear rise. it cuts down on "coin slot" moments if you catch my drift. it comes off feeling like a slightly higher rise and slightly tapered 634s to me. i think a second soak will tighten them up a tiny bit more and they will be perfect.
i tried the regular beatle busters in the same size a little while back and i had a very different experience. these seem totally different to me in all the right ways. i felt like the regular ones were going to blow out in the crotch if i got too crazy in them and the legs seemed way roomier.
the denim is perfect....kinda like a lighter version of the 23oz denim. though i really love the 21oz denim this stuff might jump into first place for me. i'm really excited to see how it fades. it still feels bulletproof but might be a little better for year round wear.
