Upsize? Why? How much do they shrink?

[Giles]

They don't, they just look better roomier…..

They don't shrink at all. Washed mine several times. They are just starting to get some evo. Ill post some photos in the next week. They definitely don't fade as fast as the 811's.

@derivative666:

Lol I knew that was coming. I am actually having my left over material made into shorts for my 4 year old. My taylor is putting together a pattern hopefully there is enough material.

Had a pair of old jeans turned into "insert bell-bottoms" With some of my 811 scraps.. As per Lindsay's request.. ::)

I washed mine 8 times in hot water w/ detergent, and after seeing no change, did it several times in boiling water trying to get them to fade and so far there's been very, very little fade

I even added  a little bleach to the boiling water experiments, and left them submerged for literally hours, making sure to keep the water super hot

almost no change whatsoever

anyone else have the same experience???

It's synthetic indigo, which is the same, chemistry wise, as natural indigo. The threads are rope dyed, so they should age nicely over time. The weft yarns are also indigo dyed, so the fade will have a blue cast to it. Knowing Haraki-San, I guarantee the yarns are dipped a ridiculous amount of times (20-30), that's why it's taking a second to fade.

also fades come with wear, not with washes NorCal_1!…

[NorCal_1]

^believe me, I'm wearing them, too

thx for the feedback guys

[Finn666]

just saying

[FurattoHeddo]

Get the original IH-811 if you can, they fade pretty easily…

I love these pants!!

I was confirmed for 634s size, but even if size chart are same, people there advice me to go one size up.

Size : 1.75m, 79kgs Waist : 84cm/33" with strong legs Thigh : 58cm, Calf : 42cm.

For my momotaro G019 in W31
Waist : 81cm and strech to 84cm after 3 days, front rise : 29, back rise : 39

I was thinking to go for W32" but should i go for 33 instead ? It doesnt strech much ?

Got an edwin 505z in W31 that was really look baggy for me (86 strech 90  >:(), i was able to remove it with buttons, buy the same in W30 (83 strech 86), better !

Whats your size ohighyo ?

[mclaincausey]

Just to help get you a response sooner, I think OhYo is 33 like me in most IH, unsure what he did size-wise on these.

[mclaincausey]

Chopped:

[ohighyo]

Sorry I've been busy. I wear 33, I could probably do a 32 in these but I like the roomy work look

[Jazz]

Yeah, got my 814 on the desk in W32. I measure the waist the iron heart way, its 83,4 cm, so its ok for my waist, no need to strech at all. The quality is amazing. Wear & Pictures are the next steps.

[Jazz]

Here it is ! Lack of time and lack of people to shoot, so self shot 

[Finn666]

who's that guy standing in the way all the time…need more pics of that bike

seriously though, the 814 look like a good fit

[Jazz]

Go here for the bike, its a simple sportster 883 born in 1999, with a few changes from 2008 to 2013 …

[Finn666]
