No they shrank quite a bit. From 38.2 presoak/wash to just under 36" post I'm glad they didn't shrink more than they did orvtheyvwoukd have been too short. And I didnt starch. Sorry for any confusion I had just woke up when I posted

Ill get fit pics up as soon as I have acces to my full length mirror. I took the door off as I currently have my mother at my house and helping her recover from double knee replacement. It was a little too narrow to get her walker through the doorway with the door on so it was removed for the next few weeks until she is cleared to walk without assistance.

15th anni. 25 oz s5000vx are up for grabs at BiG. Gonna be too short for me so have at em fellas!!!
-
I'll get one in September from Yuichi. Already reserved me a size 34
The pre-soak inseam is quite short indeed. Similar to the 254oz version. I guess they expect less shrinkage with these -
I'd be interested to see… Gordon still has it listed at a 4-6% shrinkage. I know its ill advised but I'm really considering doing a pair of raw no soak and just not washing like a dirty hippy i know its bad on the denim as well and reduces their life but Tired of being so limited. Let the criticism begin...

nobody here is going to give you a hard time if you do that to your pants.
It's not like being a mass murderer or serial rapist -
That works fine so long as you don't get caught in the rain! It could be a bit frustrating, however, when eventually you really want/need to wash them.
The other thing you can do is soak them in cold water, and then stretch the fuck out of the inseam every so often while they are drying. It's a bit of a pain in the arse, and needs to be repeated after each wash or soak, but will significantly reduce the loss of length. I've used this technique in the past with success.
It all depends how keen you are!
Good luck dude.

^I would not advice getting a pair of jeans for that price that has a built-in risk. And I figure unsoaked 25 oz just plain uncomfy as hell. But that's just me.
Some 500XX Evo (HDC2 pair, not comparable with some others evo in the comp).

My statement was more one of frustration than a true consideration and spoken generally rather in regards to these, thanks for keeping me grounded tho guys

Max, those are amazeballs…. Love the raised arcuates, love the label, love the denim in general...

Tat, look at what can happen when you do this. No soak, no wash, rides a bike, doesn't get crotch blowouts. I think it's very individual, but these results IMO are beautiful:
-
Wow Swiss those are absolute amazing!! It maybe a consideration for real now… Honestly, its definetly worth a shot at least once...
-
Not nearly as impressive, but here are some 12 oz sanforized/rinsed jeans I did this with for8-10 months. They do have triple stitched inseams, seat, and yoke to be fair, but zero blowouts, not even close really… Tons of life left in them, and I wrecked these bitches, biking, farming, riding horses, all sorts of manual labor... And no they don't stink either. I think there are a number of factors to jean longevity and aging, ranging from the fabric, the cut, the fit, the person's activity and biology, the construction, etc...

Thanks guys! I love ruedis jeans, but I will always argue with anybody, that thinks wearing jeans completely raw is a real option. It is doable, but is against everything that is linked with the history and intention of blue jeans as working clothes. It will weaken the fabric, look and feel unnatural and I prefer the optic of washed pairs. Not to mention the smell. (But it takes some commitment and craziness top do it, and ruedi has both ;))
