First time little tough. Once it's done and wore for few hours . Top button will get better after few use .

[Pips78]

Cheers how long did you soak yours for,  they defiantly feel different even after drying off more rigid, button wise when trying them on the bottom one was a bugger so will do the top and middle for the time being

Update us on how they turn out! Interested to hear if they shrink much. Hot or cold soak?

Depends on what you want.. a hot soak usually results in more shrinkage than a cold one. But it also depends on agitation, time, and weather or not you use soap.

Hi no soap just hot water would say there was agitation to some degree

@Brock Great fit on the DCT jeans.

@Maizenblue  Looking good nice fit on your DCT jeans.

I didn't soak mine at all and my thumb is literally bruised from that damn top button

[Kfactor]

Seriously love these things

I'm seriously jealous of everyone who picked up this denim. It just wasn't in the cards for me this time, I had to prioritize the 18oz vintage denim this time because I've been looking for a breathable denim in this weight range from IH for a while now. So I'll be joining Anesthetist in living vicariously through the rest of you…

.  Thought these were the toughest buttons ever. Ended up using a combination of putting sharpies through them and expanding needle nose pliars.

These jeans,by far,exceeeded my expectations of what a pair of jeans could be. Haven't stopped smiling since I got them. I put them straight into the washer. They came out fine.

Hot soaking mine as we speak, fit was damn good presoak but I prefer to get all the shrink out before starting.  The arcs are even more beautiful in person, possibly my favorite arcs all time, and the patch is awesome.  They have the same almost black color as my SIIs did at the start, can't wait to see how the heavier denim and cone dyed weft impacts fades after a year.

I'll be joining @Anesthetist and @xtcclassic as well in living vicariously through you guys.  The fabric looks awesome but I just can't do a pair of 25oz denim right now as it was already in the mid 90s last week here in Phx so I have to pick and choose my battles and allocate my IH funds wisely by picking up some of the new lighter weight shirts.  I also chose to pick up the 18oz vintage for the same reasons as xtc.

These are looking great though and the fades will surely be epic.
