IH-634SV - The Vulcan - 18oz Raw Straight Cut Jean (With Hidden Pockets)

Why did I just read all posts… Why am I thinking about these... Why do I keep thinking about these…
Thinking about going with a sz. 32 (read as: if I can come up with the $$$) and hotsoak whilst wearing them in order to prevent the waist from shrinking... Then after they've stretched, a second soak... Can I expect:
- 1" stretch in the waist (assuming so)?..
- a max of 1" shrinkage lengthwise?.. I'd like to get them hemmed before soaking them... G: if I remember correctly you always add 1" to your usual length for raw jeans pre-soak (cause I know you hem before soaking)?..
For your reference, in case you give in to temptation, go the same as your 666XHS size (I can't remember if you're 32 or 33 there). That's what I did, and it's working out very nicely.
The Vulcans are calling you, Seul!

They're a fair bit slimmer than a standard 634 too, do they'd really suit you Eli.

Looking forward to the fit pics

I got 2in shrink out of the inseam, but I hand agitated like crazy on both hot soaks. The first hot soak/hand agitation definitely didn't get all the shrink out, but I think the second one did. The area around the fly and including the fly didn't shrink at all really on the first soak but shrunk a bit on the second, once I paid attention to the area. If I didn't get that shrink out, my whiskers would have looked like I sized up 2.
