[DanielAFC]

I apologize, but I have been travelling. If you check the 633 thread for this denim though a photo was recently posted of a pair much further along than mine, it has me excited for the future

These are starting to look really good. When you see them in person the electric blue in the faded areas is sick.

As it's the same denim it may depend on your fit but potential should be the same!

How much soak so you recommend for these?  I've never had such a rigid denim post-soak before - cant tell if it's because of the denim weight (my pevious pairs have all been 15-16oz) or because of the loomstate?  so far its done 60min in tub with a few minutes of gentle agitation (as hot as my apt water gets - I can keep my hand in it for a short period of time).  I then drained half the tub and replaced it with more hot water to soak for another 30 min.  Enough of a first soak?
Thanks for your help!!

[grabby22]

It sounds like more than enough… Did you lose a lot of indigo?

[TDjr]

surprisingly little actually!  i got a single ring around the tub, but the water looked barely bluer than when i started.  and the denim's still VERY dark.

[grabby22]

Cool. As long as they fit well post soak, it's all good!

And post some fit pics!

[TDjr]

ok.  i need opinions about the fit of these - I'm a little concerned.

my main concern is the upper thigh.  I suspect it's all bunchy in the crotch right now due to how stiff the denim is at the moment - and hopefully as the legs settle, gravity will pull it down some so it's not so bulbous (i.e. so it won't look like I'm stuffing).  What do you guys think?

i'm also torn between cuff vs. not and stacks vs. not …
I'm pretty short (5' 8", 125lbs), so I'm not sure cuffs will help out my lack of height - just accent how short I am.  (It's sad because then people won't see the cool gray weft).  In the past, I've cuffed, but with black weft, so it's hard for most people to notice.  As for stacks, I have 5" of hem turned inwards to get an idea of what it might look like if I got them hemmed at that length with minimal stacking.  Whadya guys think?  Add another inch or two of hem?

[derivative666]

That fit is perfect

[llvlaglne]

1- you're not short

2- the denim will soften up and settle, after creases set in (whiskers/combs) you'll be able to judge for yourself if you need to cuff. if you want to cuff…cuff

3- you do not have to lie if you stuff, it's only weird if you make it weird

Weirdly enough, I saw one of my buddies the other day and he asked me about the bunching in the crotch with this cut. I have a sz36 and he has a sz33. They both have this issue. It doesn't go away. I've had mine for almost a year now. Maybe Kiya likes to hide snakes in his pants? Maybe it only affected us three?

FYI I've hot machine washed and dried three times. If you have room in the waist, I would try a hot machine wash.
