      I know - I wanted a pair of jeans that looked like the 501's I had in my youth, when mum insisted on washing them once a week whether they were dirty or not

              Could be the TFH norm.  Let me check my others….G

                weird…for some reason a lot of jeans have more leg twist on the left leg...

                  Yep. I've only had leg twist on my left leg. My SExIH07Bks have it as well. There's probably no scientific explanation, but Beatle is right.

                    @simon626:

                    One last question: do i buy the jeans in the size 30" or the size 28"?

                    My waist measures 31".

                    Thank you thank you thank you! All of you.  😉 😉 😉 😉 😉

                    Go with the W30. Just wondering why not the IH-634S?

                      Totally understand! The FH should be a great pair for you. Also, did you mean the 1005?

                          FH jeans = brilliant. Good choice Simon. And yeah: def go with the 30" waist. Might wanna wear 'm a bit til they've stretched (if they do) before soaking them…

                            i've never soaked my jeans before for any reason besides extreme dirtiness.

                            What's the significance behind "presoaking" and/or soaking?

                            Simon, come on buddy. You gotta do a little research. This should help explain a few things…

                              TFH jeans are, compared to IH jeans, unsanforized, that means they will shrink about 10% when they touch water! If you don't presoak them and the fit is spot on, they won't fit you any more after you wash or soak them the first time. Keep that in mind when choosing the size.

                              Yeah, and a little research wouln't hurt, Lando is right.  😉

                                The only problem of course is if you wear them without having soaked them, it can create fades (FH fades quickly), which will appear to be in the wrong place after soaking them due to the shrinkage…

                                  Simon - Just soak them for 30 - 45 Minutes Inside/ Out. Hang dry until damp. Wear them until dry to set creases and you are ready to go!

                                      Had no idea that Flat Heads were so awesome. I prefer heavy weight though.

                                        @simon- dude, you're gonna have the dopest jeans in LA, until we do an IHF trip of us Bay Area folks down to the new self edge opening in LA… then you'll be taking a breather bro. hahahaha. jp, you made a decision you will never regret.

                                        @shubzz- though i feel that my samurais, at 19oz, are killer and really damn near indestructable, the feeling of a nice 13.75-16 oz jean just really allows you to have a bit of a lighter feeling when moving. but also, legs sweat a ton in heavy denim. i'll give you a full blown comparison when i finally do decide on getting me the 634s
