@Perpetual_beta:

Is there an estimate or guidance for expected shrinkage that will be provided when they go live?

We did a shrink test on the sample last year which you can view here

Size 40 measurements, perfect!

Looks great! Think I'll be a 33. Still would love to hear from the samplers how much yours stretched back out after you soaked em — @spitfiredealer @Jcaz6996 I know you had different cuts, mainly just curious about the waist stretching back. Back to tag size? More?

[Graham]

I am doing a shrink test on the production model also. They are currently drying and will post results tomorrow.

[popvulture]

Thanks holmes! Psyched to see em

[Dmart]

Thanks @Graham excited to see the results. Could be a 32 for me.

[spitfiredealer]

@popvulture mine are a couple of sizes bigger on the waist than I usually take so I am never going to get them past what they were originally. But they always feel loser after like a day of wear

[popvulture]

@spitfiredealer01 thanks man! That all makes sense.

[yannis]

Will those offered on 634 cut only or all cuts?

[popvulture]

Yep more to come.

[Giles]

All 5 core cuts….

[yannis]

Awesome! Thanks!

No reason that the rear rise post is underlined, just can't fix it

[Dmart]

Thanks @Graham
Would you also recommend to wash them first thing, rather than soaking only?
Stretch in the waist will be approximately back to pre wash measurements?

[Graham]

My pleasure @Dmart

The wash / soak debate is totally personal preference. You will most likely get a little less with a soak as even less agitation. I personally always wash and never soak it just comes down to what you enjoy, feel more comfortable with.

[Graham]

Wearing them now and already loosening up in the waist but they were SUPER tight on me. Will wear them a bit more and report back

[Dmart]

Thanks again.
I typically soak and only wash at a later stage when dirty. I just thought it may be different for UHR.
I could actually fit in a 31 perfectly, pre-soak/wash.

Here's the info that Reuben has posted in the past regarding UHR and loom state jeans and I have had good luck following this advice:

@neph93:

The recommended method with UHR is to soak  first, then wash. This because it is loomstate. The soak activates the cotton fibres and embeds the stitching, the wash gets the shrinkage out.

[Graham]

Sorry @goosehd my bad. Thank you for helping me there. I was too eager to get the measurements posted I was not thinking. Soaking def the best for imbedding stitching.

[popvulture]

Thanks for all this info, y'all — and cool to hear the waist is quickly stretching back out @Graham .

I know it's heresy to some but I'm just going to soak mine, not machine wash, just because my washing machine is a total piece of shit (I know I've mentioned this before, but I wash all of my jeans in the tub by hand). Prob will do 2 hot soaks. Expecting shrink, but def will be probably half of what I'd get out of a machine, I imagine.
