Wow,
I have just read through this whole thread,
I'm new to raw denim and was considering a pair of 3sixteens but if I can find an offer on a pair of these jeans I might just
jump in the deep end,
They look incredible from this thread!I have the 1105 size 29 hemmed To 32.5 i think, need to remeasure, worn about 3-4 times, no real signs of wearing. If interested pm me.

I have now bought a pair of 2109s,
This is my first pair of raw denim jeans, I was amazed at how stiff they were, but I am loving it!
Might post some fit pics later -
How do you both like the rise of the 2105/2109? Too short compare to IHs?
-
Ok here are some fit pics, so the jeans are 2109s tagged size 32, and they have been hemmed.
I have soaked them them twice 2 x 1hour back to back, only concern is that the waist runs a little large :-\ , but that is something I knew about and my belt seems to solve that problem, so overall I'm really happy with the fit!Front:

Back:
Close front:
Close Back:
And If anyone is interested I can post pre soak and post soak measurements.
Oh and having no experience in these sort of things I put my wallet in the back pocket when wearing the jeans dry, and this is how that turned out ::) :

Hi Tom,
I Think they look like a really good fit on you, even better when worn for a few weeks. Not sure back to back soaking without drying has the desired shrinkage effect?
Cheers.
OK, It was my first time doing it, I saw it recommended on the indigo shrimp blog, I thought the idea was to just clean the water and keep the heat up, but would you suggest drying them and then soaking again?
-
Tom, a tad bulky around the wang region maybe? Otherwise a nice fit indeed
I think that could be because the jeans are still quite stiff, but I see what you mean :-
I guess I will see…
