@trail and arrow How about putting them up for Rawrdenim's Fade of the Day?

@Seul must be having a stroke right about now….

I'm practically having a stroke just laughing about it.

They became my Kindergarten pair in the last couple of months. They got some stains, so I washed em for the first time since I got em. Washed em inside out 40C and some of the stains are still there, but nothing hardcore.




They did not shrink that much in length, so they still need another hem job…

Being a recent purchase from; IH Forum » The Marketplace » Buying and Selling, I made the decision to give my, new to me, IH-634-UHR's a hot soak to be followed by a line dry. This being the first pair of jeans I've soaked in the bath of our new place, @Black Orchid's only comments were "I hope you don't stain the bloody bath tub" 

Phew…I didn't stain the bath tub. Hung the 634's out to air dry on the line.

No major changes just fit pics

Hey forum friends. I need some advice on this fit. It's pre-soak and I'm just unsure if it's how it should be or if I should go down one? They are tagged 33 which is usual in IH for me fwiw.
I've worked the numbers compared to my current pairs and these should be ok post soak. But I'd just like a second opinion before I start shrinking them down.
Thanks in advance

How tight (or otherwise) is the waist band?

[mahlon321]

They fit exactly around my waist. Not tight but not falling down. I think the waist will be perfect once they loose the inch.
It's the rest I'm unsure of….

[Giles]

They look a little large elsewhere, but it's virtually impossible  to judge what this denim will end up looking like when it has softened up…..I don't think you can size down because of the waist fitting well as is....

[manufc10]

If you think the waist will be perfect post soak then I think you are good to go @mahlon321.  Of course it all depends on how you like your jeans to fit as well, but I think you should be good.

[manufc10]

I want a pair of these very badly btw.

Hi @mahlon321

I think the jeans look a tiny bit large in the front and back shots. But with shrinkage I expect it will look much better.

The side shot of the jeans makes them look spot on. Personally, I'd keep that especially if you say the waist fits perfectly.

[mahlon321]

Thanks for your input and help @NorthernVictory, @manufc10 and @Giles. I appreciate it.
I laid out my best fitting pair (634s-b's in tagged 32 which have stretched slightly with wear) over top of these just now and other than length, and a tiny bit of rise, the UHR's are roughly only  a 1/4" wider on each of the outside edges.
Which leads me to believe that it's just this bonkers heavy denim trying to stand on it's own with me in them and making the weird bulges in the front and rear.
I reckon a good hot soak/wash should hopefully sort most of the excess bulging, am I crazy??

[Max Power]

They'll look better with wear and after a soak, but I really like the fit already.

[Ndubya94]

I agree with Max and your own theory.  These will look fine once hot soaked and broken in!
