Hey I'm Tony from San Francisco, CA born and raised. Been a long time lurker of the forums but recently decided to contribute to the Iron Heart community.

Here are some post soak pics

How's the stiffness on these post soak?

On the new 301S the cardboard like stiffness went away within a few hours but I think thats because of its fit and how active I am in them vs just sitting around in them. I think the 633S should be the same but it doesn't hug my thighs and knees like the 301S. The only downside to having both fits is that I only have one pair of legs to wear them with and I'm having trouble taking my 301S off, not because i can't but because I just don't want to.

@browniemcghee:

Both those look great.  Can I ask how much shrinkage you got, Baytone?  Looks like  Urb got around .5 instead of .75 in most of the expected areas.  Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately I did not do any measurements pre soak but it seems most of the shrinkage occurred in the length and waist. It did feel tighter on the waist and legs when I first put them on after drying but after walking my dog for a few miles it feels like its already starting to take form and feels a lot more comfortable.

@browniemcghee:

Those look sweet Baytone.  You gonna hem these?  That denim still looks crazy stiff.  I thought it might calm down a bit post-soak.  Looks like breaking these in will be a prolonged wrestling match.

Not too sure yet, I'm probably going to let them settle in for maybe a month or two before i decide if i want to hem them

@Adman103:

Baytone, what kind of boots are those?  Denim looks damn good.  Crap- I thought my only acquisition this year would be the UHR- these are really tempting.  I need more legs!

They're the 1000 mile boots by Wolverine.

About 4-5 months of wear and 1 soak.
