            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... 🙂

                      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 😉

                                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:

                                  Swiss, I'm with you. I have a buddy who didn't wash his somets for 4 1/2 years.still not washed. The whole thing about them needing water is not for everyone. Depends on the denim mabey. But he has no blowouts and they are very slim

                                      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...

                                      Think it, be it.

                                        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 ;))
