@Giles:

Not exactly.  What inseam do you need?  I can get the Japanese version which have a 34 inseam…..

whats the difference btwn the Jap version n the one in IHUK?

[Giles]

It's an inch or 2 shorter in the inseam…

[tatmantall]

Why would anyone want that?

[Giles]

Erm, because they are Japanese…....

[Chris]

Because it's the new trend in denim- capri length jeans!

Should I size one up? My 634S in 32x34 fit´s pretty perfect, I could wear em without a belt. Does the XHS stretch a little bit?

Please don't JCM, they will look much better on you fitting snugly.

Well at first I wasn't convinced id be able to pull off this fit- but it looks like us chicken-legged fecks can do it too!

Blown away by the denim, loving having a not so skinny fit (I feel it fits me like a 1940s 501), currently going through the first phase of hip pain. Stoked to be a part of the cardboard pants club!

Very nice, SSOL! 

[Spring Son of Light]

Thanks Ms G!

Question to those of you who soak/wash the 25 oz: did you do it before really wearing them? I'm thinking of breaking them in for a week and then doing a cold soak to help prolong life and avoid rips at the cuff creases, etc. gentle cold soak should work? Or is this just myth?

Well either way. I know it's been discussed, but I always appreciate input the longer people having been wearing the denim. I don't have a tub at the moment so I may just say fuck it until the first wash. But I'd really hate to see tears at the cuffs… I'm also not convinced a preemptive soak will do anything to mitigate that.

I do it with all my jeans. Unnecessary or not, I like the peace of mind

You don't have to use a tub. I use a large paint bucket I bought at the hardware store for a couple bucks
