I know. Just seeing.

Just got my 777's. After many failed attempts I think these might be the one….
What kind of shrinkage should I expect with a cold vs. hot soak. The waist is a little loose now, and I would love to tighten it up a bit. Thanks, and sorry for the noob question... First pair that I'm willing to soak instead of return..... It's like jumping in the deep end.

Hard sell fellas! And god-damn I'm a sucker for peer pressure!33 ordered. I'm hoping there is a diamond in the rough that measures closer to 35" in the waist.

I have. Many times.
I guess I'm wondering thoughts on a waist that will be a touch loose vs. spot on/snug, as all other measurements seem to be okay for me?

I am here to seek advice from this assemblage of the worlds finest denim aficionados.
I am about to pull the trigger on my first pair of IH Jeans and having read this thread I am no closer to feeling comfortable with sizing. Any advice would be appreciated

I currently own 3sixteens, with one being unsanforized and the other sanforized. They are both sized 34.

Measurements are

316+                                                      316 st220X
waist= 34                                            Waist = 35
FR= 10.5                                              FR= 11
RR= 15                                                RR=14.5
th= 12                                                Th= 12.25 
kn= 9                                                  Kn= 8.5
hem= 7.5                                            Hem = 7.5

The 316+ are well worn and I would be a touch happier if they were a hair roomier in the waist and upper block. I have looked and looked at the measurements of the 36&34 and I am torn. I am leaning towards a little more room accommodate my size, so am thinking the 36 with a good hot soak would be good. I just really don't know and I am trying to avoid the return shipping for an exchange…
I defer to you group of experts in all things Iron Heart and am hoping you can steer me in the right direction so I can begin my obsession with IH pants (I'm already an avid fan of the tops).
Thank You!

Thanks guys. Ill let you know how it goes. May wait until I don't have to use a laundromat. I don't trust those nasty machines.

I went with the large. Overall i'm very happy. Had to reinforce some buttons. Has anyone tossed one of these in the dryer? I know blasphemy, but I am looking for some shrinkage. Would a hot water soak accomplish any of this?

Ohighyo- thanks mang

This shirt is epic. Im pulling the trigger, but I'm very much in between sizes. The medium is almost perfect, and the large is a touch wide in the shoulders and p-p. Any thoughts? Is there any stretch after some wear?
