@Brock I think they will look awesome in a years time.
Will wear them a lot.

Can someone give me a comparison between these and the 18 oz sii? I'm curious if the weave is as tight or looser. I'm debating exchanging a  recent purchase for these bad boys.

[Matty123]

Ordered a pair! Hopefully they'll be here by Monday.  :

just for my Jeans today. They are awesome. The fit pre soak is great. I like a little room in the waist and this pair nails it. It took me about 25 minutes to be able to button all The buttons. but now I can get them buttoned in a relatively, almost acceptable, to a very patient person, amount of time. They are surprisingly soft. Softer than the double Indigo 18oz used for the 634sii. I'm thrilled to Have them. I will soak them tomorrow and the send them to Railcar for helming and a little tapering from the knee down. Thriilled. Thanks to
Everyone at iron heart UK and all you folks here on the forum.

Cool. Good to hear they're gonna work for ya.

@jvicente86:

@Matty123 Might want to check with Railcar before you send those in…last I checked they don't work on denim more than 21oz. You can also give Indigo Proof a try.

Thanks J. I inked them a few weeks back and they do work on 25oz. They actually make their own 23 oz jeans now too.

So I soaked them today in 125 degree water for two hours. I kept adding water to
Keep it hot. I also agitated the shit out of them. They drip dried in the 80 degree sun for 4 hours and were completly dry. I only measured the inseam so far and the shrinkage was a little over 1.5 inches. I'm wearing them now. The waist didnt shrink much I don't think. Maybe 3/4"-1" shrinkage. The thighs feel like they shrunk an inch also. They are stiff , crunchy and hairy. But I can feel their soft potential. I'm pumped about these jeans

any progression pics/updates for those that copp'd pairs?

[Matty123]

^^ this! Mine are still out getting tapered. Somebody has gotta have something to show us from this denim.

[D97x7]

They're darker than they look in the pic!

[Matty123]

^^ there we go! They'relooking good. Interested to see the evo to come

[sabergirl]

@D97x7 coming through with the wear on these! Despite my best efforts to wear them through the summer, it's been hot–and I'm mostly a weekend warrior with the denim these days, anyway. I expect it'll be another 6 months for me to get them to that level. Nice work.

[DVD Connoisseur]

Great work, D97x7. I only wear mine in the evenings / weekends so I imagine it's going to take me at least another 6 months for my pair to look anything like yours. I doff my cap.

How many soaks have yours had?

[D97x7]

@DVD:

How many soaks have yours had?

Thanks, they had an initial hot soak then two machine washes.

[DVD Connoisseur]

Many thanks. I've just given mine two hot soaks so far to manage the shrinkage out.

I'll give them some proper breaking-in time and then try a machine wash.

I'm continuing to work on my 634B&SRAW so these will stay in the back of the closet until it gets a little cooler.  The 16oz loomstate denim is a little too warm in the 80F-90F heat.

[Matty123]

just got mine back from Railcar. i had them tapered and hemmed to my liking. RC did a great job as usual. they are very soft for a 25 oz fabric. i also find them more breathable than the 18ozII. these jeans are fabulous.
