IH-634S-RAW - 21/23 ounce raw straight cut
-
Ok, so I've done a year in my SR's. I'm a true 35 waist and unlike the RAW's the SR's didn't come in 35 waist… so I sized down went with the 34", which after the initial [hot] soaking ended up at 32"… and that was problem!! These feckers are seriously hard bastards not like the soft and forgiving 634S to start with I could only do up one fly button (with tools!). A week in the house over Christmas wearing them everyday, I managed to do an extra button a day. Where they comfortable, honestly no, they where agony! Perseverance prevailed and after about a month they had stretched out to a bearable 34.5" and have moulded to the shape of my body like no other raw jean I have ever worn. They also shrank again at the first wash and gained some extra leg skew but stretched out again after a couple of days to the 34.5". Now at the third wash they seem pretty stable, just measured the waist post wash at 34". I had these hemmed at 32" raw, they are currently at 30" inseam which is perfect for me. Again I reckon the they shrank a little more on the first wash so probably 1.5 " initally and 0.5 the second time.
In short; they stretch to tag size. The leg will stink 2-2.5". Sizing down is painful!
Would I have another pair - hell Yer! but would go 35" or even 36" this time.

How long do they need to soften up a bit?

Took full measurements of my size 30, thought it might be helpful to some people. I have worn them for two full days so far, and they were soaked with the hottest water from the tap. Where they sit on my hips my waist measures 35 inches.
Waist- 32"
Thigh-12"
Knee-8 1/2"
Hem- 8 1/4"
Inseam- just over 35" -
Here you go guys, as promised! They've stretched quite a bit in the last few days and I'm
planning to get them hemmed as I'm a 30" inseam, these are a 36" and very long on me.
Back side view.Waist is a 34 but has stretched out to a about a 34 1/2, very comfy and buttoning is easy now.
I like a lot! Congrat, great pair on you!
