IH-634S-UHR - 21/23oz Raw Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Picked up a pair in 34 as the 33 was sold out. I have 1 pair of XHS 555 pictured in 33, and 1 pair XHSib in 34. The 634's feel baggy and I am not sure if it is just because of the cut or is it the size. I soaked for 1 hour then washed as per the instructions. They seem really baggy, the waist is a bit loose but can use a belt. Would love your thoughts on this one. I am concerned they will stretch out even more. I can hit them again with super hot water not sure what else to do to get a bit more shrink? Any ideas to shrink them a bit more would be helpful.

I think that 634 is the better fit of the two. Blasphemous to some, but do a hot machine wash, and then tumble dry to get more shrink if you want. Just make sure they’re inside out, and soaked through before the wash cycle. Probably should avoid the spin cycle, as well, though I’ve never bothered.

Totally agree with @sabergirl i believe the 634 fit and look better. It’s the best cut anyways

They look like 634 should look
If you don’t like it, wait for the 555 UHR -
Agreed the 634 looks better. You're probably used to denim fitting tighter so it looks off, but you might find that having a less tight pair in the rotation is a comfortable option.

I hot washed and dried my 634s. They didn’t explode. Go for it.
Thank you all! I will wash and dry them and see, Matt how did you dry them inside out I assume? Also I’m hoping to avoid marbling did you have any issues with that?

They will shrink primarily in length with the hot wash after previous soak and warm wash. You may loose another inch in length.

Well that did it, washed HOT and then in the dryer alone inside out for 30 mins. They fit perfect. The soak before the wash was critical again HOT only and in the sink. They fit well, not as baggy and believe the shrink is now out. Love the softness and feel!

Totally agree and understand I have never dried my RAWs before and have had a lot of them. It fixed the situation for me let’s see how they hold up. Appreciate everyone’s help, as always
