IHxB01xRAW Beatle Buster 18oz Raw Japanese Selvage Denim Indigo

@CLJ:
RAW BB's have touched down. Hot wash today and fit pics tomorrow. For some reason a small sample pack of Dr. Bronners Peppermint soap was in the back pocket….
That's a nice lil surprise right?

Yes and a bit of a coincidence as I just started using Dr. Bronner's castille soap at home! Never thought about using it as laundry detergent though. Busters are hot washing now. They were roomy but the shape I want…lets see how they turn out! Exciting stuff...for a denim head, anyway.
-
So, its means that we could never know about from which batch production of our jeans?
seriously isn't there any production code? -
So long as it's not boiling hot, no the patch should be fine. There's a video on the 634SR thread that shows an extra crispy patch ;).

Does not matter if you give it a load of agitation.
Yarns and/or fabrics are not fixed materials. They consist of separate fibres that will stretch when exposed to tension, i.e. they elongate during the process of being made into cloth (during spinning, weaving, bleaching, dyeing and the various finishing processes, yarns and cloth are under continuous tension). Some or all of this stretch within the fabric is retained in the post-loom fabric because of friction between the fibres and the yarns.
The stretch that occurs can be eliminated when the friction within the fabric is reduced. This will happen during soaking and/or washing, where both water and soap act as lubricants. The lubricants, along with the mechanical action of the washer, help the fibres relax and contract (shrink) back to their original length.
One of the reasons that dry cleaning does not shrink natural fabrics is that the friction within the fabric is not reduced by dampening.

Dear gents,
in need of someone who owns this pair in sz 32, has washed/ soaked them and has worn them for a couple of months…
Would that person be so kind to give me measurements of his/ her pair (inc backrise, inseam if they've been hemmed, legopening and waist)?..
I'm wearing these in sz 33 and they're good but a little loose if anything... Wondering if a sz 32 would be ok for me... If they stretch an inch, it should be perfect (even though I'd have to wear them during the first hotsoak and not wash them for the first month or two)...

Indecision and lack of available funds at the time the second run showed up equals no size 36. Any chance of a 36 lying around in Gosport or Japan unaccounted for? Will there be a 3rd run some point in the future? Or does someone have a pair that is relatively unused and not hemmed that they would like to part with?
