IH-634SR - 21/23oz 5 Year Anniversary Straight Cut

[Sreeni]

@Giles Just to confirm, these won't stretch back to pre-soak size like the 634-UHR, right?

[Giles]

Same denim, so yes….

[Sreeni]

@Giles I don't have a bathtub or anything big enough to soak 634-SR without folding it. Will a bucket do?

[Giles]

Yes…...

[Sreeni]

@Giles That was a fast reply. Thanks! I am gonna soak it overnight in a bucket of cold water. And then beat the hell out of it!

Keep in mind that a cold soak in a bucket will not give you the full amount of shrinkage

@Max Power 
A few possibly dumb questions.

1. Since it will eventually stretch back to tag size, is it a problem if I don't get maximum shrinkage?
2. My 634sr is stiff and dry now. Should I soak it in hot water again?

@Giles : Hate to bother you but could you please answer what may be not-so-smart questions?

1. Since it will eventually stretch back to tag size, is it a problem if I don't get maximum shrinkage?
2. My 634sr is stiff and dry now. Should I soak it in hot water again to get maximum shrinkage?

[Giles]

1. No, no problem
2. I'd just start wearing them…...

@Giles Thanks a ton for another super-fast reply!

G, need your opinion. my SRs only had 1 initial hot soak when they came out years ago. Since then i wore them for years but lost a whole lot of weight. they just hang in my closet wishing to get worn. Do you think if i did another hot soak and then a real hot tumble dry i could force some more shrinkage out of them? they are size 38 and right now i fluctuate between a 34 and 36 depending on craft beer season. is it worth a shot trying to make them smaller or not bother and just dont wear em?

Thanks buddy!

[Giles]

It's worth a go with the soak, but I think that a hot tumble dry even inside out is dangerous with that fabric….

Just drink more beer.

HOT wash 60° C or more…. no dryer, and "straighten" the fabric while wet...

Great score! The UHR is highly addictive;).

Figured it was time to get my SR pics on here. They are still crunchy and “full” - need to break the hell out of them to get them to fit better.  Relaxed in the body and snug in the waist as well lol
