634B&SRAW - 16oz Loomstate Indigo Selvedge Straight Cut
-
Works correctly for me now!
-
I've been trying to wear these more instead of shorts. I'm really liking them!
-
Nice fit. Nice gym. The combs are going to be off the chain if you refrain from washing too soon.
-
Just soaked my tagged 36 and here are some observations, I did a warm-hot soak for 1 hr to encourage shrinkage. My usual size of 34 was too small on this denim so I sized up.
-
No indigo in the soaking water, but plenty dripping down as it air dried. Also noted some discoloration in the water by what I assume to be starch
-
Definitely stiff after soak, able to stand up on its own
-
Shrinkage: Waist by 1.5 inches, back rise by 0.2, inseam around 1 inch
-
Will report on wear-in once these get hammed

any updates on these from the guys who have been putting some miles on them? how are they fading? are they stretching much more after prolonged wear? Are they softening up nice?
Any input would be appreciated.
-
I feel that the waist has stretched a decent deal, or I'm losing weight. Stretching everywhere else is pretty minimal. I'll have to get some decent pictures with the minimal fading I've been getting thus far. I noticed some decent vertical fading when I was in direct sunlight in traffic today.
These don't seem to want to fade, but I still notice indigo transfer when I wash my hands.All in all, I really like them.

If I needed a pair of denim, these would be it. Great fit, looks like very promising denim and that leather patch, LOVE IT!

@tailoredfamcam I haven't put many miles on mine. Right now, they are my "nice jeans." I put them on when I am going out or trying to look nice. They are still hairy. My 634S are still my mains. I will be sure to put up some more pics once I get some wear in them. But it'll probably be at least a year.

So, I'm in the IH club now, finally. I've spent about a year on the IH site going from style to style trying to decided which is best. Luckily, the 634B&S RAW came along which fits my needs perfectly.
I took some pictures pre-soak which I'll put up, then soaked them in a tub of hot water for an hour agitating them periodically. The denim bled a decent amount which required me to scrub the tub (or incur the wrath of my wife). I hung them up for a few hours then became impatient and directed a fan towards them to speed the process. They stood on their own as you'll see in the pictures.
The waist shrunk about an inch and has stretched back out quickly. The thighs shrunk around 0.5 inches and I lost around an inch and a half on the inseam.
Overall, after the soak, they stretched out quickly to my figure and softened to some extent.
-
The barefoot pictures are presoak with a double fold on the pant legs. The pictures with the boots are with a small single fold post-soak after about four hours of wear around the house.
There is a very small amount of leg twist but a casual observer would just think it is the way the pants fall.
-
@Cali Do the jeans fit like 634s or 666s post-soak?
-
They have a lower rise than most 634's though which is why I've hesitated on these.
-
What's the loss of length like in the inseam with these? The product page says 2", but people are reporting 1" to 1.5".
I'm always a bit nervous with raw jeans as I've had a couple of pairs where the shrinkage has resulted in them being too short. I think that they should be fine, as ideally around a 34.5" to 35" inseam works best for me.
-
It's been a very long time since I browsed through this fit page.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to wear the jeans much as my thighs have gotten bigger as my exercise routine changed and the pants are about 1/2 and inch too tight in the thigh now to fit well. Luckily, the jeans are amazing and waiting for the time when they'll fit again. I don't want to wear them just to wear them and blow out the crotch.
However, to answer the shrinkage question, I lost around 1.5 to 2 inches on the length when I soaked them. (check the pictures)
