@FlavourFade
If I can do it, so can you.

Soak and Wash. ️

[FlavourFade]

@Kasi thanks man, my pair is stacked at IHUK for now but looking forward to breaking them in

[Kasi]

@FlavourFade

You coming next week to Hamburg.

[FlavourFade]

@Kasi no I would love to come but have to work unfortunately

@Kasi been avoiding the temptations of denim

Never had a straight cut Jean in my life and really keen on getting last UHR. 777 my usual cut won’t work probably with sizing and rise v comfort. Wondering what everyone’s thought is in the fit of these please as I think they look ok but feel alien! Just concerned there may be too much room in seat and back of thigh on outside. Sized down one from my 777

@Gavin666 I've been going through your other pics and these do look large on you compared to your other fits. You have to be comfortable, but I really don't know if a wash will help in the way that you want. UHR should fit just about the way you want out of the bag.

You have a couple of options, risk washing them to see if you can make them work or return them while you can and wait for the 777's.

How is the waist, @Gavin666 ? Could you go down a size?

[Gavin666]

@goosehd thanks Goose. That’s what I was thinking. Appreciate your honest advice

[Gavin666]

@Alex waist will be too tight if I did Alex. Think I will have to return and wait for 777 and keep 🫰 for sizing

Just got my pair! Doesn't fit me good enough to straight away think about second pair, but good enough that I'll be keeping them. unless I accidentally wash them at 60* + high spin, I'll be ok!

Wore them commuting today. Nearly was late to work trying to button them up first time! Haven't struggled that much since my 25oz samurais!
Also nearly got blisters on back on my knees for the first time!

Tomorrow will soak and wash them and quite likely put away until autumn.

Pardon bad quality pictures! I'll make nicer ones later!

I think they look like they could work after a wash, @Gavin666, but you may end up not liking the fit and then you'd be unable to return them. Would be a calculated risk, though I suspect you'd get RRP second hand for a pair only washed and otherwise unworn

[Gavin666]

@Alex thanks Alex. A difficult decision but may be a harder sell due to being 31”. Think I will return and hold out to see if 777 sizing different to last run. Thanks for help

@timmyboy As I understand it, the gospel as handed down by Haraki is:

Soak
> Let dry
Wash
Let dry
Wear

Corrected version. And @Kasi is correct in that you could wear them wet or damp to no harm, but you don't need to

Definitely new to unsanforized denim, so I have to ask.

Can i just do a hand wash ( woolite dark with some agitation and warm water) in the tub when I first get it, to get the shrink out? Then hang dry and wear?

[goosehd]

@iamjustdanny hot water is better, but yes.

Sweet! I was hoping that I can combine the soak and wash steps.

I also don't want to put these in the washing machine just yet.

[goosehd]

@iamjustdanny make sure you have shrank the jeans to set the stitching. If not, you may be setting yourself up for issues later on with premature failure or blowout.

[iamjustdanny]

@goosehd duly noted. Will use hot water.
