^You are going to love them, that denim with mud wash weft is epic.

They'll soften up and become amazingly comfortable - I have the 2105s, love em.

How do you both like the rise of the 2105/2109?  Too short compare to IHs?

[tigerpac]

Just going by feel and without measuring, the rise is shorter than the INxSExINDO's I have but still pretty comfortable.  Higher than the Roy RN04's also in rotation.  Now that's a short rise!

The rise is certainly higher than it is on the 666's.

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!

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.

Tom, a tad bulky around the wang region maybe?  Otherwise a nice fit indeed

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?

I think that could be because the jeans are still quite stiff, but I see what you mean  :-
I guess I will see…

Amusingly phrased.

[Seul]

I'm just glad the word "stiff" wasn't forcefully entered into that sentence…
