@mecken88 the combs are settling in nicely!

[mecken88]

@goosehd thanks man! I really enjoy wearing them now! So it’s gonna be interesting seeing what I can achieve with a few months of wear!

@mecken88 looking fantastic so far. I really love how dark the ib version is. I’ve got a 634 just staring at me from within my closet.
I swear I can hear it calling to me at night sometimes.

[mecken88]

@Davids_denim I know more people that’s in the same situation! It’s such an amazing pair so better having it stashed away for an later time, then missing out and waiting two years for another restock🥰

When the day comes, you are gonna love them!

That's probably what I'll be doing with the 888 drop this week. Buy it whilke it's available then put the wear in at a later date after other pairs have had their time

Finally got around to wearing my new jeans did a hot soak for 45 minutes then washed it in hot water no spin. I was going to go with my normal size but decided to size up one.

@Goz looking good man!

[Goz]

@worn2fade Thanks this is my 1st pair of 25 oz jeans and I wasn't sure on going tts or sizing up. I think I could've went tts but this fabric is THICK!! I think they look ok

[worn2fade]

@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.

[Goz]

@worn2fade Thanks the waist fits pretty good right now. I know it'll stretch a little hopefully not too much.

[worn2fade]

@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.

[Goz]

@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]

I got a pair of w33 delivered today, and they fit! Managed to button them up after a couple of attempts and only a slightly sore thumb Super long on my legs, so rolled the japanese cuff.

[worn2fade]

@stuartg don’t forget to soak them before committing to them! Possibly even wash too.

[stuartg]

@worn2fade I’m quite happy to wear them without soaking first. That’s what I’ve done with all my previous raw denim.

[worn2fade]

@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!

[Jord]

@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

[worn2fade]

@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.
