IHxBxHCx25oz - 25oz Limited Edition Beatle Buster

TMG:
Based on my experience with the 666XHS, I'd say the soak is completely optional. You'll get some shrinkage but not a whole lot.

Perhaps the main advantage is the denim will be a bit kinder to your delicate areas. It may also last longer if you're one of those crotch-ripping types.

As for me, I like to punish my balls, so I didn't soak.

Thanks for the responses guys, looks like I'll try soaking them tomorrow - I really don't need any shrinkage, so it will be a warm soak at best. Any advice as to how long I should soak them for?

[bagley920]

As a general rule, If I'm trying to shrink them I go as hot as possible from the tap and soak until the water is cold

On these, I soaked mine in cold since I didn't want them to shrink and just did it for an hour then pulled them out to hang

@Finn666:

iirc it was specked from the get go! well actually black W and arcs but these are even better imo!

All I remember is it was an instant buy

[tatmantall]

I always just soak it as hot as possible to allow the shrinking when soaking… It's going to get there eventually one way or anther... IMO cold soaks are simply delaying the inevitable

[dave]

The denim where I cuffed my 666XHS cracked pretty quickly compared to the other jeans I cuff.. I'm pretty sure I didn't soak them.

Mine literally showed up 5 minutes after I left for work. I haven't even laid eyes on them yet.

[JinHD]

still waiting for mine!

@tmg:

Quick question, (and yes, I've read through the thread already), but is a soak actually necessary?
I know these are sanforised, and I know that due to deadlines they missed out on the normal 1st wash before leaving Japan, but is there a purpose for this wash besides removing any residue from the sanforising process? For raw, unsanforised denim the first soak is to bed on the construction/stitching, just wondered if that aspect also applies here?

Regardless, I'm loving the fit on these MBB's….....fresh denim is just ridiculously tactile

No, not needed at all. I didn't soak my 25oz. Wore them 6 months, soaked them, they shrunk a little , didn't change where the combs were or anything else. IMO the best part about new fresh denim is NOT soaking them

@RocknRoll:

Chafed thighs, anyone?

Only for about the first hour.

Quick pic.

Pictures can't capture the true color of these pants.
Post soak fitpix. A bit of a struggle to botton up, but with wear they'll become perfect.
Almost the same measurements as my 634S W32, but the rear pokets are closer to each other and bigger. That is a great improvement for me.
Really something special these jeans…

Denim is out for delivery, going crazy with anticipation.

Also, I hate signed packages, I can't bring myself to do anything but wait.

[bagley920]

Anyone double cuffing these? Think I might have to

You can always request no signature from us, but the risk of it going missing, then has to be taken by you…..
