@zwer:

I know that replying to my own post is bad form, but after hearing from Giles last night I'm on my way up to the shop this afternoon to buy my first pair of Iron Hearts! Can't wait!

Great first choice. It's such a versatile jean. You can do a cold soak and wear them until they dry to minimize shrinkage or do a super hot soak to get all the shrinkage out. I just soaked mine again last night because they started feeling a little baggy and now they fit great again.

Thanks for the advice. I've got some room in them, so I figure I'll do a hot soak and put them on damp.

Bath tub water is hot enough, isn't it?

Yeah I usually use the hottest water I can get out of my tub. Then soak for 30mins and hang dry.

Initial soak

And, the first wear (sorry about the crap iPhone pics)

I've been wearing these for about a month,  i don't think this is supposed to happen

PM Giles..

He will fix you up.

Did you size down?

[ete_03]

cool thanks eclintor. No i actually sized up to a 34. I wear a 33 in the 634s and a 33 in the Sexih07, i've never had an issue like this with ih unsanforized denim. It just got progressively bigger and bigger. This kinda started to develop the first 2 weeks.

why no reinforcement as soon as you discovered the problem?… :-\

[ete_03]

Yeah, I just been putting it off. Shouldn't have kept wearing them.

Same feelings about Nem and his jeans as DD reported….. there's just no match for the coolness that adds this perfection besides the 100% spot-on fit.

Best I can hope for is to be the pillion rider one day.

Great photo el!

Good fit Nem.  But seriously, how do you manage to avoid "knee bag"?  They look slim and straight thru.  All my jeans have some sort of stretch at the knee, must stop sitting down

never really had bad knee bagging m8y,,most of my jeans arent that tight./too tight in the knee area,,think the worst offenders were my 301s,,,i think after a while due to the weight of the jeans any noticeable knee bulges/bagging tend to dissipate,,
