IHxB01xRAW Beatle Buster 18oz Raw Japanese Selvage Denim Indigo

Turn the jeans inside out, then machine wash, highest possible heat.  Follow with a machine dry, highest possible heat.  Be careful, since the method can leave weird fade lines and creases in your jeans.  Not sure if that will get you the reduction you're trying for, but good luck.

And fry your patch…..

[joesaintjohn]

Yeah, I did the same on my stretched out ODs and the patch looks like a shrunken biscuit.

[Chris]

Interesting; my patches have survived it with no issues.  Maybe my washer and dryer only get sorta hot, not really hot?

Another size-run on the horizon?

[Giles]

They (not that you can see that at the moment) are endangered, which means highly unlikely.  The RAWS sold super slow compared to the 21oz….

[Guest]

No kidding, eh?

Would you mind letting me know who of your stockists carried the model so I can attempt to track a pair down in my size?

[Giles]

None…..There are a lot of heathens out there who just do not appreciate the beauty of the 18oz denim...

[riffblaster general]

that is a crime.  the 18oz is amazing.

[xtcclassic]

This is not good news. These are on my list, but I'm really jonesing for some 25oz first. Are the 666S endangered as well?

[Giles]

No they are not.  We sell masses and masses and masses of the 666S, but the IHXB01raw sells pretty slowly…

Raw denim for life. Sanforizing flattens out the fabric.  It's cool, if you don't like to fuck with shrinking.

[Max Power]

^my thoughts…it might be that some guys are just afraid of sizing when it comes to unsaforized denim. The 18 oz denim at least is nicer than the 21 oz in my opinion, so I don't think it's the fabric that made them sell slowly. But that's all guessing.

[Giles]

I am 100% sure that is the reason Max…

I also love the 18oz denim, but if your taller then 5,9 and like stacks, the BB raws are not for you. Maybe if the inseam was 2 inches longer they would sell like the 666s ?

I'm 6,5, and i would be living on the street now if all IH jeans came with a 37 inch inseam.

Enjoy you denim nerds 

[Giles]

Adding 2 inches on the inseam on a future run is easier than me typing this post….

[colour ghost]

That would be really nice Giles. I'm in for a pair then. Could also use an extra inch on the arm length on some of the heavy flannels…........Ohh you can't hem these, damn.

[Guest]

Well, I'll keep my fingers crossed something potentially pops up in the future. (+1 for the extra length.)

Oh, shit. I think we've identified the problem. I just looked at the sizing chart, and assuming a 2" shrink in the inseam, these would be .5" shorter than I normally need, and I'm only 5' 11" tall. That's probably what's slowing down the orders.

I think potential buyers are afraid of not being able to fit post soak measurements. You cant stretch jeans back out if you cant get in them. I would love to try 18oz. Would it be possible to sanforize this fabric? Forgive me lack of knowledge here.
