You couldn't button them in raw state?

I guess you're out of luck then. The denim will shrink a fair bit after a wash and the denim is very tightly woven. I'd suggest a size up or rocking them raw for a long, long, long time.

Oh no... well I've been wearing them wihtout the top button done...

Will buttoning up while the jeans are damp be a possible solution?

Don't worry, I could not button the last 2 buttons when I bought the jeans. After 2 weeks,the jeans will stretch and you can button:)

Gosh thats comforting to hear!

Well...there has been an embarrassing turn of events.

So i jsut received my 0701s today.

and to my horror, I could not do the last button.

the consequences of lack of research and online shopping I suppose.

What would be the solution to this?

Would soaking them and the wearing/ stretching them damp help?

I was able to stretch my greencast NF skinny guys after some wear,

but I suspect with the heavier dense denim its not a s feasible...

Anyone have any suggestions?

The denim is beautiful nonetheless.

Hi there, I was just wondering...

If i don't have a bath tub to soak my jeans in does a smaller sized basin work as well?

would the fac tthat the jeans will be folded up inside the basin make a difference?

Thanks all

Thanks I'll make sure to read into that next time

Might get some fit pics in a day or two

Hey guys so I'm really new to this all.

Currently working on a generic pair of levi's 501 STFs, bought TTS without soaking to see how it'll turn out.

I recently bought a pair of momotaro vintage label 0701s at one of those online summer sales.

So... from what I've been reading you're suppose to size down on raw denim cuz they stretch but size up if its unsanforized because it will shrink on washes so (with 32inches being my true waist measurement) I went for the size 32 which measures at 33 waist according to the website.

My questions is this,

from what i hear you're supposed to delay any soaking or washing for as long as possible,

but if length is too long,

and I'm not supposed to hem before wash,

should I give it an initial soak? or do I just live with the length and roll it up or something?

Thanks all!
