        Do a soak with some agitation. Turn the jeans inside out first. No need to go boiling hot, just as hot as your tap will go. Hang dry. That should do it.

          Fit looks nice! And it will get better down the road (with the upcoming washes and all)

            Another soak or gentle wash might give you extra shrinkage, but not that much. Turning inside out in not necessary when you soak, but when you wash. Enjoy them!

              I've had a ton of shrinkage in my jp003-a after nearly boiling hot soak. I'm my experience the hotter the better, hasn't done any damage or anything whatsoever

                        Samurai is getting two 15th anniversary models ready. 25oz. Reminds me of another brand… whose initals start with I and end with H.

                        In any case, the jeans look badass.

                          Maybe the source from the same mill? Giles would most likely know about it. But the the Samurai one is unsanforized AFAIK

                            Just because it also happens to be 25 oz. doesn't necessarily mean it's the same denim…

                                I'm going to concentrate on other brands and more "regular" denim in the future

                                  Looking forward to compare the Denim with the 25oz from IH.

                                  What other Brands (regular denim) are you looking for?

                                      I'm with you. The 25oz. Is nice, but it's kinda novelty. I've settled back to just wanting 14-18oz. Denim.

                                          With the IH 25 oz models, I've developed an addiction for 25oz fabric. I hardly ever wear anything else. The first pair I bought has become soft and nicely aged. I remember quite fondly the Samurais I got when I started buying Japanese jeans. So I think I'll get a pair of those, in a loose fitting size rather than my real size, though.

                                            Same here… Anything heavy just fails compared to the IH 25 oz... Personal preference, of course...
