@Goz they look great man, you’re straight. If the waist sits good then don’t stress it. If the waist is too loose then I can see your concern. Regardless, denim looks great on you.
-
@worn2fade Thanks the waist fits pretty good right now. I know it'll stretch a little hopefully not too much.
-
@Goz if pressure isn’t applied, it shouldn’t stretch. If it does stretch then the space is needed. If it fits good right now, I wouldn’t stress it.
-
@worn2fade I'm happy with the fit for the most part, if the waist stretches some I'll just wear a belt.

@Ross I did not expect to see this!

-
@stuartg don’t forget to soak them before committing to them! Possibly even wash too.
-
@worn2fade I’m quite happy to wear them without soaking first. That’s what I’ve done with all my previous raw denim.
-
@stuartg even though there’s still shrinkage left to be had since they’re not one-washed? If that’s your jazz, do your thing! Happy fading brotha!
-
@worn2fade They're still sanforized so not "RAW" and wont shrink that much, I still wash them though as it gets rid of all the starch and dirt from the factory and apparently tightens the threads, I didn't notice much shrinkage apart from the hem in my XHS/IB, and the waist just stretches back out.
Each to their own though, but sanforization removes shrinkage
-
@Jord yeah I know they’re not actually “raw” like the UHR’s for example, but if I’m not mistaken the shrinkage that happens at the inseam can shift your combs if you don’t soak in advance right? I may be mistaken but I thought I heard that can take place.
-
@worn2fade Yeah for sure could I would imagine, would depend on hemming length I guess. I've had sanforized jeans that haven't been one-washed from other brands and have been fine though... You seem like a perfectionist though so if that's your jam you gotta dial in all the details haha!
Super long on my legs, so rolled the japanese cuff.
