Thanks!
It´s curious, but they feel softer than before washing. I think the starch has gone now.
I did two boiling hot soaks at the begining, so they didn´t shrunk with the wash.
Only in the upper thigh a bit shrinking is noticeable.
I´m really happy with the result and glad there is no marbeling from the wash. -
It s fucking 5:30am here in S'pore and for some reason it decided to rain.. Very heavy rain.
Hung my RAWS out to air it the night before and it's fucking soak!! Argh!! I am barely one month into it!The best part of it, I stay on the 3rd storey in public housing. Jeans is so wet and heavy, damn hanger gave way right before I could grab the jeans!!!
RAWS just "air-borne"So I am comptemplating to give it a wash? If it make any sense. Should I? ( i did a quick rinse on the jeans with clean water after picking it up from the ground though)
I am so upset now and I cant get back to sleep! Argh!

I would just do a soapy soak, followed by a clean soak, OR just a cold clean soak. I feel like these jeans need to be soaked regularly to protect the denim. So do not worry. I would not put them through a full wash cycle and spin. Just soak and dry. If there is no agitation when you soak, you should lose only starch, not indigo.
Don't buy into the "wait-to-get-wet" philosophy. All you end up with are broken threads or holes in your jeans. You might even look back on this and be glad that it happened so soon.

very pleasure to have the first heavyweight jeans and it was IH. now in soaking procces. here the fitpic of 634s raw before soak..
true size 34, inseam 36. i think this jeans need to hem.in fact when I bought, I'm in a size 33. I bought a size 34 because the remaining size 34 at thedenimvault store . but now my weight go up, causing my pants size 34. hhaa.I got trouble when enter the button. very difficult, which requires pliers. i think after soaking, i must use pliers again.
