      RAW BB's have touched down. Hot wash today and fit pics tomorrow. For some reason a small sample pack of Dr. Bronners Peppermint soap was in the back pocket….

          Yes and a bit of a coincidence as I just started using Dr. Bronner's castille soap at home! Never thought about using it as laundry detergent though. Busters are hot washing now. They were roomy but the shape I want…lets see how they turn out! Exciting  stuff...for a denim head, anyway.

            Hi Giles, I just bought the Busters from Tuckshop & Sundry Supplies and I'm wondering if it is from the old batch or could it be from the new batch you were talking about. Cos they told me that there were some more shipments coming in.

              I have no idea what they sold you.  You would need to ask them.

                Alright, thanks anyway Giles. I just thought that maybe the new Busters are in the latest shipment.

                  Even if they were, I would not know from which batch you bought.

                    So, its means that we could never know about from which batch production of our jeans?
                    seriously isn't there any production code?

                      No production code.  I'll see if I can incorporate that into future releases

                        Sizing Question: I'm a 30 in most IH jeans (including the IHxB01SBG) and a 31 in the sanforised IHxB01, would a 30 in these be the way to go?

                          I'd say yes…

                            Will the leather patch get screwed up if I do a hot pre-soak?

                              Just turn your faucet/tub to the hottest it'll allow. Allow the fibers to fully saturate and possibly agitate the jeans. Let it sit but not too long as it'll damage the patch

                                So long as it's not boiling hot, no the patch should be fine. There's a video on the 634SR thread that shows an extra crispy patch ;).

                                  Someone in the Beatle buster(21oz) thread cooked their patch as well

                                    Cool thanks! But how long should I soak it in hot water for?

                                      Does not matter if you give it a load of agitation.

                                      Yarns and/or fabrics are not fixed materials.  They consist of separate fibres that will stretch when exposed to tension, i.e. they elongate during the process of being made into cloth (during spinning, weaving, bleaching, dyeing and the various finishing processes, yarns and cloth are under continuous tension).  Some or all of this stretch within the fabric is retained in the post-loom fabric because of friction between the fibres and the yarns.

                                      The stretch that occurs can be eliminated when the friction within the fabric is reduced.  This will happen during  soaking and/or washing, where both water and soap act as lubricants.  The lubricants, along with the mechanical action of the washer, help the fibres relax and contract (shrink) back to their original length.

                                      One of the reasons that dry cleaning does not shrink natural fabrics is that the friction within the fabric is not reduced by dampening.

                                        Throw them into the washing machine 60° without detergent. Remember to turn them inside out, and afterwards pull the wrinkles out…should do the trick. After this there may be some miniscular shrinkage left.
