    Yeah and if you like high contrast fades, I think the 18oz has good potential.

      My first adventure in RAW!

      Getting the hot soak.  My tub isn't big enough so I had to fold the legs under.  I basically just turned the hot tap on and didn't mix with any cold.  Our hot water service is a little sketchy so the temperature wasn't scalding hot but hopefully it should be enough to do the trick.

      Pre-soak measurements were almost exactly as listed on the website: inseam 37.3 and waist 30.4.  Will report back with post-soak measurements later.

            Ok.  I ended up getting 0.8 inches shrinkage in the waist and about 1.5 in the inseam.  And the fit pics…

            I haven't figured out what I'm going to do yet with the length.  They're double-cuffed in these shots which I don't mind.  I might wear them for a while like this and maybe do a hemming later if I think it's necessary.

                Double cuff is massive and making the intended statement, that's for sure.

                    Jesse, I just measured the hem and it came in at 7.5 inches which, assuming the posted measurements were accurate, would mean a 0.4 inch shrinkage.  I didn't do a pre-soak measurement of the hem as my main focus was on inseam length and waist.

                    Snowy and Seul - thanks for the kind words.  I'm happy with the fit and will keep up the double-cuffs for a while to see how it goes.  This is an experimental pair for me.  I'm hoping to get a feel and sense for how IH's raw denim evolves and also whether I like massive cuffs or not.    I think it was Chuck Denim (or someone else on the boards?) that was saying they never hem and just cuff so I wanted to see whether the same philosophy would work for me or not.  All part of my never ending education in denim…

                      Size 30. Worn about 20+ times.

                        Qinhan, that fit is perfection - one of the top 10 best fits I've seen on the entire forum, imho.

                        grabby none too shabby either (sorry if you hear that all the time, I couldn't resist).

                        I wish I could fit my waist into these in a size 30 or 31, but console myself with the thought of the imminent arrival of my IH-555-01.

                          Thanks! I think I could have fit into a 29 but there were none at the time, so I bought the size 30.

                              you really can't beat the 18oz denim.

                              PUT DOWN THAT STARBUCKS, PICK UP THAT GNARBUCKS!!

                                  Size 30.

                                  I've been thinking of buying the 666s because I find the BB Raw's leg opening a little too wide and the stacks a little weird. And I don't think altering this pair is a good idea. Any opinions?

                                    Fit looks great. I like the way bb stacks…

                                    why so serious?

                                          I'm looking to trade/sell my fairly new raw busters size 30 and hemmed to 33 at SESF about 2 months ago.
                                          I soaked them twice (to max the shrinkage). They have been worn off/on and have very minimal fading.

                                          Great jeans, but the calves flare too much for my liking. I'd be interested in trading for a 666 or 666od would be even better. If anyones interested PM me!

                                          Thanks.
