@neph93:

If you want to end up with a 34 waist then get a pair that starts at or just under 34” when new.

So that accounts for initial shrinkage and the stretching back out with wear?

I’ll add that this also incurs som initial discomfort [emoji1]

Soon to hit 100 days. 4 washes. No filter

They look great already. Just started wearing these again as it gets colder.

Hello fellas, new to the forum and this is my first post so cheers to you all 
I have fallen in love with this brand and it is my absolute ride or die now.  Just picked up my firs pair of the 21/23 Raw jeans in the 634's…. I have been all over the map trying to decide how to soak, wash, warm, cold and so on.  I settled with two separate 2 hour soaks and a delicate cycle on cold in the front load washer then hang dry.. I hope this works, I am anxious about the waist shrinking..  I will report back but for the veterans any thoughts on this method.  Oh and one last thing and this may be ludicrous but in my head it made sense, I put a bit of hair conditioner in as a mild lubricant and to add some "moisture" I don't think it'll hurt anything.  Any feedback is welcome.

Welcome, great to have you here @Tappan Cornmesser ,  I have moved your post to this thread as, as this is what you are talking about.

[Tappan Cornmesser]

Sorry about that Giles.  Glad to be here. Just got done with the wash, went for the warm gentle cycle, hung them to dry about 10 ago.

@Tappan Cornmesser welcome to the forum and congrats with your purchase! You went right away with this beast! Soaking and washing is mandatory for this pair so you did nothing wrong with that. For as long as you took the waist-size you were looking for i wouldn’t be that afraid for the shrinkage. Waist will stretch back to pre soak dimensions. For the hair conditioner, i would skip that part the next time soaking/washing is more for the agitation of the denim to settle the threads etc. let them dry, pull them on show the fit here as you like and rock them hard! Enjoy them and cheers.

Hey man I appreciate the kind words, I have went a bit crazy with purchases lately lol.. Jumped right into these guys and glad to hear I didn't mess anything up.  I'll post pics in the next couple days.  Again thank you for the reassurance. Cheers

Don't brain it too much man. IH makes some tough ass product. The only think i can suggest to you is to only wash them inside out all the time and you will probably avoid some marbling or streaking of the fabric that can happen some times. Other than that IH heans are not meant to be babied.

Gave mine a very hot soak, two washes at 40°C… I think they should be ready for hemming now? Shouldn’t expect any additional shrinkage, correct?

[Dmart]

You should be fine. I haven’t experienced any noticeable shrinkage after the second wash.

Any people that wear 666 or 555 did you order 634 in same tag size as 555/666 or sized down for 634?

[George Homme]

Hello.

This is a brand new 634 UHR in tag 34. Did the hot soak and gentle hot wash with no spin. Waist feels snug enough. Took me sometime to button it up. What do you think about the fit?

Would you go tag 33? I am asking because I was in between tag 34 and tag 33 but I feel that tag 33 if not possible would be a real struggle.

[T4920]

@George-Homme it looks a good fit to me George, I don't think you'd wanna go any smaller in the waist.

[A Former User]

@George-Homme wouldn’t go smaller man!

[goosehd]

Completely agree with the others and don’t size down.

[the246guy]

I'm in need of some help from you guys. My perfect, comfortable waist size is 80 cm and looking at the measurements and the expected shrinkage, should I go with Tag size 31 that has around 83.3 cm waist and expect a warm wash do the shrinkage to about plus or minus 81 cm? Is my assumption correct?

[George Homme]

@the246guy In my case i tried to land 1 inch below my TTS waist measurement after Soaking. If your comfortable waist size is 80cm shoot for a pair with 81cm Waist. After Soaking it will land around 78-79cm and will expand to 80cm by wearing it.

[the246guy]

@George-Homme Thanks for the suggestion. I will get my pair from IH Germany and I have already asked them to measure a Tag size 31 and Tag size 30 for me. So let me see if I can get one.
