There's a crusty punk rock record from the 90s I stole my name from. Google "Fleas and Lice/ Bleeding Rectum
Only on this board would someone mention this split LP haha… Crazy... I grew up with metal, then punk, then crust punk, then hardcore... I swear this board has the most (ex) punks!.. We even have punk posers such as Rafa

Yeah it's pretty funny. Although, it would take months of begging and panhandling (like I used to do) to afford a pair of Iron Hearts. Haha I still like a lot of the music. But I am also a part of the system I used to hate so much.

Sweet fit Shredder, enjoy.

Thanks everyone for the vote of confidence. Decided to break the rules and wear these to work. To hell with the no jeans policy! Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll send me home. Can already start to feel them loosening up ever so slightly. Probably gonna hot soak them in a day or two. Just for fun here's the heavyweight comparison to a couple of my other raws.
-
Just hung mine up to dry post hot-soak. They were really tough to get inside out both before and then to reverse that. I soaked them in super hot water and I swear I could actually see them contracting in places that the water hit. They were notably shorter when I took them out too. Also, thought to myself, wow, not too much dye loss, then I picked them up and blue just streamed into the water.
Looking to getting started on them. Wearing my 13.5oz Raleigh thin fits right now. Should be a bit of a change.
-
Heh, well, that's what I'm wearing right now. I've been also wearing 18oz denim as well that's super comfortable. But also feels pretty damn thin compared to these.

Those look awesome!
Thank you,unfortunately they are too tight and make me suffer unless i'm just walking.They are going to be semi-retired.

Measured mine post-hot soak. Tag: 31. Waist 32" -> 31", Inseam 35" -> 34", Hem 8" -> 7.5". So more or less exactly what I'd guessed would happen. They are stiff as cardboard, I'll start breaking them in tonight.

Thank you!They shrunk a bit more then main over time.And yes,they are tough at the beginnig,but the denim is getting soft and silky.

Nah, I didn't. But they're a bit slimmer all up and down the leg, and definitely the right width for me in the thigh.
Had a bitch of a time getting the top button done. Not because of the waist, but because the button hole is much too small for the large top button. And I'm pretty sure the button hole stitching is all going to come undone, especially with the struggling. I figure I'll have to reinforce it by hand, which is no big deal.
I ordered myself a 17oz natural veg tan harness leather belt to go along with this too. Figured I should get something to match these beasts.

Thanks. Gonna take the plunge and soak mine in the next day or two.

Soaked mine in hot water last night for a couple hours then hung to dry. Pre & post measurements below:
Tag size: 32
Waist: 31.5 -> 31
Thigh: 11.8 -> 11.5
Hem: 8.25 -> 8.0
Inseam: 33.5 -> 33.0Aside from the stiff buttons they feel really good post soak and am happy they didn't shrink too much.

Tonight is round one of 25oz denim vs 17oz leather belt.
Custom made belt by Don't Mourn, Organize, 17oz of harness veg tan leather, with a peak thickness of 8mm. Both the belt and the raws fit great, but there's not much circumference left around my waist and my hipbone is starting to hurt. The belt fits just fine with normal thickness pants, the raws fit fine with normal thickness belt. This is going to be brutal and awesome.
