You will fall in love with'em…approaching 6 months with my pair, they get at least 6 days a week wear...will be my first pic for sure.

Hello Iron Die Hearts,
I would like to recommend a solution that i have found, for all those suffering with 'Bell Bottom'Itis' with their denim.  There have been some posts about this 'problem' (to some a problem, to others not), yet i cannot remember specifically who has posted, but it has most assuredly been in the 666-XHS thread.
First off I just want to say that I have only tried this on raw denim… TFH-F310 to be specific ... and it worked a treat.
After soaking, when the jeans are hanging to dry (while still wet).  Push the thighs and specifically the 'below the knee' area together, from inseam to out seam.  They should stay quite narrow if still wet and rigid enough (Very soft pliable denim may not work, such as the 21oz)  And do this repeatedly while still wet, every half an hour or so.  I have found this greatly reduces the bell bottom effect, which i had copious amounts of on my FH.  And makes the stacks sit nice and cleanly, with marginal sideways bell bottoming.

As I said before, I have only tried this on one pair of raw denim, and i am open to every and any sort of criticism!
I know that the 25oz has a mind of its own and may resist, but it is always worth a try!

Thanks!

JM: cool advice, but FH 310 vs. IH XHS is like comparing a neck cramp to a beheading…

[JamesMarg]

Hahaha!
Yeah i thought as much Seul.
Just an idea though, i have no experience with the 25oz… Yet.

Anyone want to sell their size 36 from the original run? Sizing was better for me with that run.

Gave them the first wash (after initial wash) yesterday. About 6 months of total wear.

Do these need to be soaked or can they
Be worn straight out of the box?

can be worn straight out of the box…no need to soak!

[Giles]

The are sanforised but not washed. Technically it would be best to wash them, but I didn't bother…..

Just joined the club!  Never owned new 25oz and not I understand why everyone bitches about the first time buttoning. I now have sore smurf fingers. These are 36w un-hemmed.

MP returns!!

Welcome back mate. Can't wait for more of your trademark pics. (Seriously).

[Morose_Penguin]

Hair is the same as it's always been, except longer. Likewise with the beard. Battery is charging for my camera…

Been good, money saved. Now it's the old familiar feeling of needing another pair of jeans/shirt/jacket
