IH-634SR - 21/23oz 5 Year Anniversary Straight Cut
-
Congrats to the guys who just got them!
In addition to the pre-soak necessity comments on the previous page. Even after a soak these are so stiff they will actually cut into the back of your legs a bit. The first 2 weeks I wore mine if I went for a long walk I would get denim burns on the back of my legs where the creases were. These jeans are not very forgiving haha. I would definitely recommend a pre-soak just for comfort sake.
I fear mine are coming to the end of line very quickly. I've been putting off washing them as that usually opens up the holes substantially. Luckily now I've got something else on order so I put them in for a wash today,
pre pics, sorry they came out so dark.

It might be a little bit befor that goes down gotta drop some weight

Fucking epic SR's right there.
After handling (and trying on)my pair RAW I can't imagine anybody unstable enough to wear these like that. They're about as pliable as corrugated steel. Got them soaked though, according to Haraki's instructions and saw zero fading/abrasion from the inside-out machine wash, which was in slightly warmer water than the initial soak. They shrunk well, or at least enough to prevent me from buttoning the final button whilst midly inebriated last night.
Very pleased to have, apparently, sized correctly (same as 634) and can't wait to get into these tonight and feel that back of the knee burn!
Glad I read through this thread again too, cf. new avatar. Plus, the 'turning a baseball bat inside-out" comment is maybe the funniest comment in IHF history.

HAHA,@DENIM:
Giles you are right these Jeans are NO joke!!!!!!!!
Had the same thought upon removing them from the package. Flat out absurdly over designed! Love it.

^ thanks,
Congrats DENIM SAILOR. On the bad side of things you are now completely ruined when it comes to wearing anything else haha,
Here is the post wash. I'm pretty surprised these took a wash as well as they did.
what a tape measure will do over 6 months,
I've got 5 cords of wood waiting to be split this weekend, should have waited a little longer to wash them.
