IH-634S-UHR - 21/23oz Raw Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[popvulture]

Thanks for all this info, y'all — and cool to hear the waist is quickly stretching back out @Graham .

I know it's heresy to some but I'm just going to soak mine, not machine wash, just because my washing machine is a total piece of shit (I know I've mentioned this before, but I wash all of my jeans in the tub by hand). Prob will do 2 hot soaks. Expecting shrink, but def will be probably half of what I'd get out of a machine, I imagine.

@popvulture  Another reason to try and get the shrink out in the beginning is so that your fades don't shift on you after prolonged wear…some people don't mind.

[popvulture]

Hmm good point. Never had that happen, though — the only time I've had fades shift was when my washer taps (once again, fun with the washing machine!) were switched and a couple pairs of jeans got nuked on full heat when I thought I was washing on cold.

I'll think about it. I really don't want to use my washer if I can help it, as I'd rather have a little shift than end up with some fucked up crease fades or marbling, as my washer tends to do. The other thing is that if I did a full hot machine wash, I'd probably go up a size. That said, if 34s stretched back out to the chart size, I'd be swimming in em.

Bah who knows. This is frustrating haha…

You don’t need to use a washing machine to properly pre-soak raw denim. A hot soak, followed by a warm soak with five or so minutes of hand-agitation (I typically squeeze the denim) will do the trick. I’ve used this method for my raw Samurais over the years and it works fine.

@popvulture The shrink that you get out of the UHR's will stretch back out in the waist…the length will not (nor will the thighs/calves - unless they are under constant pressure).

Hope that helps.

That’s what I wanted to hear as well @goosehd And if you stretch out the calves in a 634 cut, I want to see your Hulk calves

@goosehd @BlueBlood both helpful — thank y'all

Love ya…sorry about that!

@goosehd

I had the previous UHR

I soak then wash straight after that..

That is the original method Reuben ask me to do..

That’s what I will be doing again.

This is the exact same data, but because I was curious and thought other people might be as well. Hopefully it's alright to post this and others find it useful.

[popvulture]

That does very much help put it into perspective — thanks @pechelman !
