Thank you for the great advice!

I worked with the team and came up with what could be the best plan given the approximate nature of the shrinking that can happen after a wash.

The jeans arrived yesterday. 25oz is no joke, I think a description I read of “wearing armor” is a great analogy to what they feel like.

After a hot soak/wash and a drip dry the jeans landed exactly where Graham approximated they would. I am so happy with the whole process, amazing customer service experience from beginning to end as well as a very high quality product.

Let the journey begin!

Quick question. Looking to try out the 25oz, my situation is that I can’t really have cuffs due to my work environment. As much as I’d love to wear the jeans for a while before hemming, I’d need to have them hemmed from the start.

My only other pair of raw denim are UB 201 in 14.5, Which I had hemmed to 29 and after a wash they’re at 28. They could stand to be about a half inch shorter, but the 28 is OK. I know it’s hard to say, but from reading the forums, it looks like I can expect about an inch of inseam shrinkage on the 25oz as well.

Would you say that’s accurate? I’m ok with a half inch swing shorter, but not longer. Should I hem to 28 1/2 or stick with the 29?

Thanks!
