      Yeah I don't turn em inside out…. They're just jeans throw em in a soak or hot wash as it will help strengthen stitching but besides that... Who cares ... Wabi sabi kemosabe

        Soaking will most of all get the starch out (turning the water green / yellow) and thus make the jeans softer. This enhances their lifespan.

          Ive had one initial soak, so most of the starch is probably gone.
          Yes, theyre just jeans, but its $450-jeans.. that dont make them just jeans to me..

            If you've already soaked them, then you're good to go. Just wear 'em!

              The devils are soaking now.. I gave them 1 initial soak before I started to wear them, but it didnt feel like the starch was gone… The jeans are even now, very stiff, and no softening up in sight!
              But maybe they will soften up a little after the second soak..

                They won't, you'll have to wear the softness into them….

                  And every time u soak/wash they become super stiff again from hang drying. So dont get discouraged, just giver!

                    Yes I know, but they`ll soften up pretty quickly after that 🙂
                    Anyways, I like to keep my jeans neat and clean!

                      After a couple of months, they'll be soft. Or you could just buy a new pair every month if you wanna keep 'm clean…

                        The jeans are finally dry.. Theyre not as stiff as they were after the initial soak, so theyre a bit more comfortable 🙂

                            Not for about 3 months.  We can only make the denim in tiny batches and we are in the process of making another run at the moment.  If you can cope with a 34 leg, we can get you the Japanese version from Japan…..

                              G: the Japanese version would effectively have slightly more taper right?.. I know it's only a matter of tenths of inches, but still…

                                I'm not sure, I have never measured them, but H may use the same pattern and just chop them a couple of inches shorter

                                  Of course, that would make more sense…

                                    i'm actually a shorter guy at just about 5'8". how would i go about purchasing a japanese version?

                                      Buy any pair on the site and let us know what waist size you actually need and we will get them in from Japan.  If you need them shortened, don't forget to add hemming to the cart.  I'm off to Japan later today, so I can bring them back with me in a week.
