[van Olzon]

2 weeks with shipping … in my case

[Finn666]

hi guys, i just bought a pair of 634SRs from IH HQ in size 29.. and i think i miscalculated.. they are really JUST NICE on the waist before soak.. is there a way to still soak them and keep the waist the same size? or will these stretch out nicely?

[Finn666]

wear'em during the soak so that they won't be able to shrink any further. also you might to wear them till they're fully dry, just to prevent it from shrinking while drying!…

that sounds very time consuming! i'd have to be in the tub all day then

Pre-soak fit of my 634SR sz29

[Finn666]

well everything looks just right and promising (as a pre-soak fit) imo!
I'd just throw'em into the tub (warm or hottest tap water for more shrinkage) and then I'd just leave the waistband out of the water. this should help to prevent the waist from too much shrinkage while the rest of the legs is getting enough of it!

[Max Power]

Just soak em with a hanger or piece of wood in the waistband. Plus, if they fit good pre soak you will end up with a good fit once they have stretched back to presoak size. They look huge enough, I would not size up.

[Seul]

Manually stretch them after the soak a bit, let 'm dry, start wearing 'm. They certainly do not look too small…

[injunjack]

That's the way they are, roomy. Waist will shrink about an inch. HotWash twice to get all shrinkage out. Stretch waist back if need be.

[Matt]

I didn't see as much waist shrink as everywhere else shrink.  I agree with IJ though, these are too full a cut to mess around with a soak.  Wash those bitches on super hot twice and don't look back.

I was under the impression that a restock was imminent. Did they get lost or hijacked by Somali pirates?

[Giles]

No restock was going to happen….

[gbougard]

oh crap. I misunderstood, then.

[Giles]

GB - the 21/23 oz will not be re-run, the 25oz will….

[Finn666]

another one from sufu…

@kybosh:

I'm pretty disappointed with the outcome. I really wish I could have wore them longer. I would estimate 12-14 months of solid wear. They went through 4 or 5 rounds of crotch repairs. The last repair was done and they tore a day later so I gave up, this was around the time I posted last in here. I can't wait for the day that the crotch is not the weak link with heavy denim.
