IH-634S-RAW - 21/23 ounce raw straight cut

[ronaldlsh]

G, will these be in before nov?

[Giles]

They should be…......We are running a little behind ourselves due t the problems we had with the 25ozers......

[ronaldlsh]

How much does this denim shrinks? And is it a must to soak this a few times to "finish" off with all the shrinkages before wearing?
Or is it ok to soak once, wear them, and leave the all the other shrinkages to the next time the denim gets its wash?

[Giles]

I'll tell you what the Boss and I recommend.  There are a million and one variants and everyone seems to have their own preferred method.

Soak in hot water.
Wash inside out on 30 degree wash (not essential but will help get most of the shrinkage out of the way)
Air dry inside out.

When nearly dry turn right side out.

Yu'll get about an inch in the waist and 1.5 in the leg.

They'll behave like IH-634SR's (same denim)

[ronaldlsh]

Thanks Giles, my concern (like always) is the shrinkage at the thigh..

Looking for something slimmer than my 634SB (only way is to downsize one), but roomier (thigh) than the Busters.. Haha I know I'm fussy!

[Giles]

work out the waist shrinkage ratio and then apply that to the thigh.

But the bottom line is that these are designed to shrink to the same tagsize as the 634S

Thanks G…

Patiently waiting for actual measurement when these are in... ***  :-

Counting the days until these arrive, this weight in a 634 cut will be perfect.

G, I sent you another emial this morning let me know what you think.  I know you are super busy, thanks in advance.

Im now stuck in the middle between these or the 25OZ ones. how do the two denims compare??

[jimmy]

No one can answer that but G since he is the only one that has worn both.

[Giles]

Well, both feel super heavy.

The 634S-RAW will fade with great contrast.  The 25 def feel heavier.

But the question will only be accurately answered in a few months.

Didn't even notice, thanks for the heads up.

[Morose_Penguin]

Is there an eta for these yet?

[Giles]

I asked that they be ready in Oct/Nov, but I do not know exactly when they will happen.  G

[Morose_Penguin]

Ok, thanks. I'll carry on saving then.
