Patiently waiting on a size M return….

Yeah I think it's the thicc fabric which makes it sit on my shoulders a touch too tight. My other IH that are the same measurements don't feel as uncomfortable.

Unfortunately have to come to terms that my shirt is too small in the shoulders 
I'll be on the hunt for one in size medium…. wish me luck.

Indigo is actually yellow until it hits air so it could be that. There is a sizing agent used on these too. Finally it could be starch.

I was intrigued by your description of the wabash too. Soft and malleable would not have been my choice of adjectives, but now you mention it, it really is those things. But like a bandage is soft and malleable. It is a unique fabric, I adore it. Congrats on a great shirt. I would have had one if it wasn’t for my two 62’s and 68 [emoji1]

Thanks for the indigogo lesson, Neph! I think compared to my preconceived notions of the fabric, it's malleable. I was expecting a pretty stiff fabric. Happily surprised.

Thank you sir. I gave it a warm soak to shrink up the length which I think worked. The water was a tan-brown I think from the copper buttons?

Was able to score one of these and my god why did nobody tell me wabash was so soft and malleable? It literally feels like it's conforming to my body!

Guys I think I finally found the right IH fit. 888 wasn't tapered enough and bunched at the crotch. 666 was too tight in the thighs and hips. 633S is great but still didn't have the silhouette I wanted.
555 is it. Pics to come.

Yeah I went TTS in mine and wish I had sized down, but alas! They are very comfy and looked great for my 20s inspired outfit on NYE.

Quick update, coming up on about a week of wear and they are slowly stretching and getting more comfy. Haven't gone through this process with a pair of raws in a long time. It's slightly grueling but certainly fun.

Hah it's only been 3 wears and the thighs are still tight but I THINK the waist is stretching! The denim is probably the coolest I've ever handled so I'm going to stick it out. I want to experience this denim molding to my body!

Anyone know if this fabric shrinks much? The shoulders work for me but the chest is slightly bigger than my preferred.

Knight and Neph, thanks for the advice. I will report back in about a week. Normally my wife would take a pic but I just told I bought these and she isn't too stoked about it…hehe....

It's really the thighs that are concerning me since the waist buttons up somewhat easily.

Hey guys, just scored a pair of these in and they are amazing. How much stretch can I expect in the thighs? They are a touch tight right now but I'm hoping they relax and loosen a bit because everything else is perfect.

It is 21oz so they will relax and loosen. Calling it stretch is a little strong. Wear them for your everyday activity and it sounds like you’ll be fine. Personally I think a little tightness in the 21oz at the start is a good thing.

The heaviness of the denim increases the feeling of tightness. Once you get used to it and the denim relaxes it sounds like you’ll be fine.

Get a couples of pics up if you’re unsure. A little third party opinion never hurts.

Agreed. If you can ‘just’ button them up and they feel snug to the point of “barely fitting in them” then they’ll eventually fit you perfect. You’ll walk around like the tinman following the yellow brick road for the first few hours but the denim does relax quite a bit. Be warned that eventually you’ll consider this weight of denim normal and anything lighter will feel like tissue paper in comparison.

Been wearing them all day at my desk job and the thighs definitely still feel tight when I'm sitting down. Feels okay when walking but my drive home was uncomfortable.

If I …. wear sz 9 sneakers (nike, vans, adidas) what size should I get in these? Thanks.

Is that US9 or UK9? If it is US then 8.5 in the IH sneaks, at a guess.

US9 sorry I didn't clarify! Thanks.

Hey guys i've read thru the forum but I still am unsure about sizing. If I am a 8.5D Brannock and wear sz 9 sneakers (nike, vans, adidas) what size should I get in these? Thanks.

I found a pair on Grailed! Thanks for the info guys. I'm going to err on the side of caution and not going with something that may be too small for my thighs.

Thanks man, appreciate it.

Question on stretch: do these stretch in the thigh at all? About how many wears til all stretch is done?
