IH-634-LB - Straight Cut Loom Breakers….

[tmg]

Mine arrived this morning, and they look like they'll be a challenge to break in - what's the general advice regards soaking before wearing or not? I know they're a different weave than denim, but wondered if it would be of benefit to help the fibres bed-in and to loosen them up a bit?

I would soak…....Always worth bedding in those constructional threads....

Sure you have answered this a 1000% times, but what would you recommend re soaking? Is any shrinkage likely. I know they say that theyre sanforised but just wanted to check!

Thanks G

War/hot water loads of agitation.  I have seen no real shrinkage.  They will dry super crispy…

Mine should arrive tomorrow. Had to compromise - 33 tag had the perfect waist but 34 tag had the space I need in the thigh. Decided on 34 and a belt. Looking forward to bruising my fingers trying to button up.

Got mine today. These are awesome, craftsmanship on them really breathtaking. My first non denim pants in many years, and I'm really impressed.

I settled for the waist 34, could have sized down one, but I aimed for a very comfy fit this time. You're not getting younger…

They have a sheen on them which is quite noticable in sunlight, think I'll soak and then wash them before wearing to get rid of it. They are kinda stiff, but not annoyingly stiff, wore them for a short visit at a cafe and they were ok in today's 24° C. I guess the 634S is more breathable in summer, we shall see.

They suit you very well.

This thread has gotten me so excited for the arrival of my pair on Monday. I can't wait to spend the next two years in them for the DWC.

Soaking them at the moment

[Andreas1965]

I decided to just have them wet and then went for a wash: 30°, no tumble, hang drip dry. They lost a ton of indigo, hopefully the sheen is gone now. Can't wait to wear them tomorrow.

Just a few quick… New Love!

Great fabric, pretty stiff, def. feeling lighter than 16.5oz.

Enjoy ya addiction!

[Andreas1965]

awesome! They look very good on you.

Just for information: the soak and wash didnt't hurt them, they're still the deepest blue.

@Jordan23 - what size did you go with and how does it fit?

Mine has arrived in Berlin - will get to see them tomorrow…

[tmg]

Chose to go with my regular W36, and had them hemmed to 32.5", which seems to have worked out fine. Gave them a 40min hot/warm soak, then let them dry before first wear today - started off super crispy, but are gradually softening, and feel pretty good so far [emoji3]

Is that an "interview haircut"?
