People of the forum.

Please can you let me know what the total shrinkage you experienced with your 634SR's.

Thanks, G

Will do a shrinkage experiment next weekend..and a chainstitch experiment as well…

I received my two pairs of jeans. Wow!!!!!

After quickly unpacking and measuring them, I tired to enter the jeans. I had the sensation I would loose balance if I did not hold on to something, that's how stiff they felt. I am sure this is going to be a long journey towards taming the beast.

Now one of the pairs is soaking and I am not sure one hour would be enough to soften them. The note that came with the jeans recommends soaking over night and then a wash in the washing machine…

What tools do you use to button up these jeans?

I'm just photographing the IH-804.  I put my 634SR on after the photos and they feel super flimsy coo the Loggers!!!!!!!!

Told you so. I seriously had to use the end of a fork to pry the button into the hole. Like put half the button in then pry the rest in. Best of luck.

I've read the data on the 634sr Annie's and I was wondering if its bad to wear them without doing the
Pre soak?

[Beatle]

I highly recommend soaking…they will last longer (if there's too much starch in the fabric the threads /fibers will break more easily)

Denim Sailor.  With this particular denim/jean, if you do not soak you will have them falling apart within 2 months.  You need to get rid of some of the starch and bed the constructional threads into the denim.  If you do not the denim is so abrasive that the constructional threads will abrade through.  I promise you, if you don't do this (and I have one very disappointed customer who thought he knew better), you too will be very disappointed….G

36's all gone.  Customer popped over, tried a pair of 36's on, paid me.  Had a cup of coffee, ummed and ahhed a bit then bought the last pair too…..G

Thanks to my Stubborn Crew shipmates For the info I will soak as
directed.  I'm very excited. I make cuddle with them the
first. Nite when they arrive.  Is that weird?

[Beatle]

nothing is weird when it comes to Iron Heart

Maybe soak before cuddling to avoid scraping off some skin in your sleep…

I've slept in my 634s'es for 2 days now ànd wear them during the day… It's like being hooked to heroin man: you forget about all standards!..

I imagine you shouting those lines to a prostitute wearing long black boots and a latex costume… I know it's your smartphone being silly but still... I like to believe...

For speaking for me!

Does this apply to all IH jeans or just the 634SRs?
