I have a question for Giles and the 21oz expert crew.  Im running on 5 months of my 634s' and just had my first real wash outside of 2 hot soaks when new.  Question is,  after my wash my jeans return to a fairly stiff state,  what can I do to avoid this at my next wash?  Im just turning them inside out with a touch of delicate woolite and hanging dry.  Im not one to baby jeans, just trying to keep them as soft as possible.

Thanks for any advice, and apologies if this is the wrong forum.

Wear them, the softness will return after a couple of wears

Agree with Giles.  They'll soften up in no time!  Just beat em into submission!

I've not washed mine ever but they were soft when I received them.

[Anesthetist]

Beat the snot out of em, they will be soft soon enough!

Right on guys. I appreciate it.

Anyone know where I could buy this cotton in balk??

[Giles]

The cotton or the denim?

If the cotton, I don't know.  If the denim, it can't be.

They get harder after a wash, for about 2-3 wears, then go back to uber soft. It's just like they want to remind you who's really boss. Well that's how I interpret it anyhow.

I switch this morning to IH-803, still 5°c on the bike this morning … and i feel clearly more the freshness of the air  than with the thick 634s, no matter the double knee.

Understood; my point is on the "remind"; mine were supple, pliant, and soft from the jump. I'll be interested if a new stuff characteristic emerges post wash.

I got you, I was trying to be a little silly, but truthful at the same time. Mine felt as soft as a baby's bottom the day I got them, but still go all hard ass if washed 1.5 years later.
