Anyways here some pics of my 666's ( sorry so small ) from old Tuck Shop Singapore after having 4.5" taken off the length…...they really did not shrink that much and have stretched back out to pre soak measurements. Very happy with the outcome. many thanks to the guys at Tuck Shop for the many beers i enjoyed that night.
I have been drooling over them for months now. I already have a pair of FH's and Momotaro's but this is my first heavyweight denim and first IH.
My biggest moan about jeans is the leg opening . It seems that if your around waist 31 or less the leg opening on a pair of straight cut is not that great compared to the bigger waist sizes and if you need to hem by an inch or two the leg opening gets larger.So i chose the Devils because the leg opening was what i would call near perfect ( don't wear boots… just not me) and even hemming a couple of inches which i will need to do will not affect the taper that much on this style.
Just looking at them hanging up last night i know these things are gonna fit well and if they "give" a bit will be really nice. Had to sacrifice thigh width for waist so will be a little big but a good belt will sort that out.
As for softening the denim and getting the fades going ...I'm still waiting for Raw Denim Fade dvd....How to Accelerate Your Fades the Natural Way by Giles ........similar to a Jane Fonda work out video from the 80's...you know someone doing squat thrusts and shouting "lets see those whiskers " hahaha
Just bought the last pair of tagged size 32's via the Tuck Shop in Singapore and they are a little big in the waist but i wanted a slightly more relaxed fit. Following all the advice on here i gave them a very warm soak and tiny wash and spin in my top loader and hung them out to dry last night . Woke up this morning and i am now the proud owner of some cardboard in the shape of a pair of jeans …....i look forward to trying them on later today. How long till the cardboard feel goes away ?
Having read through here can I say what a friendly Forum this place is and i will try and post some pics when i get a chance.

I dont know how much custom straps are in the UK but mine cost about GBP100 in plain leather. Here is the link to his website. Checkout the gallery for some watch candy:
Morning Gents,
