@Jordan23:

These aren't raw guys!

The term raw is often used for jeans that are a dark indigo colour even if they are sanforised (and in the case of IH-634S one-washed)

That looks like it was filmed right before the party in October.

Just copied the link from denim care thread…

[nihped]

IH 634s

thx u…

[injunjack]

Reason to sell?  Looks like they fit like 634S does.

[nihped]

lil bit tight at the waist.. and i took that photo after first wash …is it too slim for 634s ??

[injunjack]

No way, mine seem to look slimmer, pics in this thread.

They will stretch out within 48 hours to be comfortable, if the waist wasn't too snug in the start. (about 1" stretch is what you can expect)

[Giles]

They will strtech out in the waist, no probs.  G

[Finn666]

yeah, i´d sell that t-shirt!…

[nihped]

@IJ & G ok.. thanks both of you..

@rafa hahaha.. that tees is my sleep uniform ..so comfy ..  hahahah

[Finn666]

i was just joking mate but tbh, the only reason i could see you selling the jeans for, is that they would be a bit too short for my liking! once the creases are set i think that they´ll even end up a tiny bit shorter as they are now…

[nihped]

I've been wearing this jeans for 5 days during my work activity .. and i thinks (hopefully) the creases already  settled again when i took that picture today .. thanks rafa.. haha

[Finn666]

well just keep on wearing and if you have the feeling that they´re getting too short after some more wear pass´em on (if you want to) or otherwise, when everything´s already in place, enjoy

Thanks

so what about the famous first soak? I got a pair of new 634s. Is this soak something that I have to do? Whats the difference of a cold vs. a hot soak?

Whats the point of waiting 6 months to wash the jeans? whiskers and combs more pronounced?

[Giles]

There is no need to soak the 634S.

[injunjack]

As G said no need to do it.

On the other hand, I soak mine to get rid of excess starch and reduce bleeding a bit. I always hot soak.

Plenty of opinions of washing in this board in diff. threads. Read and decide yourself.

[Giles]

The 634S have already been soaked by us….

[hanoirocks]

Thanks, is that the general rule for sanforized denim? I mean, no soak

[Giles]

No, it is not a general rule.  We do it for our 21oz denim, we do some other secret magic at the same time.
