IH-634SV - The Vulcan - 18oz Raw Straight Cut Jean (With Hidden Pockets)
-
You can cold soak/wash hang dry whatever… I think this will just delay the inevitable. It's raw denim. There is going to be some degree of shrinkage, maybe not as much as MikeC experienced, maybe more. My point is in the long term they will shrink no matter what you do. You will never retain that 9.3'' hem.

Bob, just to echo what everyone else is saying, if I were you, I would probably consider a cut that works better for your frame. The 634s, and 634-XHS are fuller through the thigh, and opening; and they are both offered in a 35. You can't go wrong with either pair. If you have your heart set on unsanforized denim, I believe TinMan may still have a pair of 21/23oz., unsanforized 634s (now extinct) in a waist 35 in the For Sale Thread. Brand new, unwashed, and unsoaked. PM him.

Appreciate all the help/suggestions, as far as the hem, ya I can see how trivial the difference can be. Sean, I was actually ponderin those for quite some time, but I think my mind is set on these Vulcans (either way I can't really go wrong) besides it might be time for me to get a more "modern fit" pair of jeans anyways, was just complaining how big/baggy my Regular Ralfs were.
MikeC- if you catch this, what's your height? Trying to figure out a correct inseam. I'm 5'9" and usually like to switch between a small cuff and uncuffed, dependent upon the footwear. I was thinking a pre-soak inseam of 33.5".

I am really jonesing for a pair of the Vulcans- I think these will be my summer denim (probably purchase in May), and I'll have to grab a pair of the 25 oz. next October for the winter… Love the cut and the details on these. I always do house projects over the summers- this summer I'm gutting out and rebuilding a bathroom- and I think the Vulcans might just be perfect for that!

IMHO this is the right cut for you Rafa!!!
I agree, just sent back those busters and keep these
-
They look a tad tight pre-soak on the thighs but that 18oz denim doesn't shrink that mich, right?
-
1,5" (hot soak) to 2" (machine wash) in length and the rest pretty much stretches out back to presoak state (my thighs also on a sz35 are 34cm post soak so thats .3 cm, not worth mentioning really) …
pm´d!
