      From what I understand, the dye is a 'fugitive pigment' which will fade more rapidly than indigo, but how much more is still a matter of experience and opinion.  If your TTS waist is 30" I'd order these TTS if you plan to wear them even a little lower.

      As for soaking.  I soak everything, as I'm not a huge fan of starch.  I like 'em more cripsy and less gummy, if that makes sense and don't suspect one good hot/warm/cold soak is going to create much dye loss.  Giles has already commented on what a flawless job Haraki did when it came to refining the OD process and said there will be virtually no shrink to speak of, so I'm not expecting any.  They fade from black, to indigo and lighter therefrom.

        So eventually you will have what appears to just be two pairs of 634S? haha

        I guess it will take the overdye version longer to fade to the point of the 634S though so they wont look the exact same? 🙂

          No, I wouldn't say they'll look exactly the same  High abraision areas will develope high contrast fading, but instead of indigo to white, it'll progress from black, to indigo, to white.  The black, low abraision areas will stay black, for the most part, until washing takes it's toll on even those areas.

          The overdye threads around the various denim forums are very referents for what worn OD denim looks like.  The fading is quite mind blowing.  Because of this, I have been chomping at the bit, salivating like a hyena at the butchers, and generally waiting in anticipation.

                                  nthing TTS.  They are effectively a pair of 634S, after all.

                                      They are not going to stretch that much if you size TTS and wear a belt. The reason they stretched so much is because you sized down. IH-634S, IH-634, IH-634S-B, IH-9634 are all Straight Leg. They are meant to be roomier and more classic of a fit. If you want slim jeans, get the IH-301S or IH-9301S. Or….... You can wait and I am sure Kiya will do an Overdyed version.

                                          634S-B is going to be my first pair IH. My true size is 37 and I'm getting W36. Hope it works.
