damn some of yall need to hem yalls pair more. but to each his own

How did you guys find out about this contest?

Here's my new xx012. Sz. 31. Gave them a hot soak for about an hour.

Pretty satisfied but I wish the leg opening was a bit more tapered. Still too big for my liking even with the hot soak.

does the denim shrink when its in the water or when its drying?

XX-012

is it exactly the same as the 007 in terms of material, color, fading?

is there a slimmer version of the 007?

After slightly more than a week of wear, the waist seems to have finally stopped stretching. It went from 43 cm post soak to 48 cm now. I'm not complaining since i can just put a belt on now. Besides, i think the measurements for the rest of the jeans is perfect. Just thought i'd throw it out there in case anybody wants to know.

Is this after the hot soak?

Will soaking my pair with me wearing them in the tub reduce the stretching on the waist?

can anyone confirm this?

I did the same thing with my pair too that I ordered. Im a true 31 and got a raw tag 29 so I went true to size.... Sooooooo im good right?

I guess i'll just give my pair a cold soak when get them. btw, thanks for all the info. really appreciate it. 

Hmmm, I see. Thanks for the advice.

The reason why I wrote the last post was because according to this guy:

http://www.keithtio.com/pure-blue-japan-xx-011/

He sized down 2 from the raw and didn't give it a hot soak until the 5th month. The jeans still look great though, imo.

But anyways, can you guys tell me the difference between a cold wash and a hot wash? Or is there really no difference when it comes to affecting the jeans?

They're unsanforized. With washing they'll shrink everywhere. 2 inches in the waist, 3 in the inseam, 1/3 - 1/2 of an inch in the rise, thigh, knee and leg opening. So if you don't soak them at first washing in the future will be problematic. Also if you have ask this question and are unaware of the difference between sanforized ( apc, 3sixteens etc) and unsanforized stuff, I'd put money on the fact you ordered the wrong size. Check the one wash measurements on the site, if those are too small in the size your ordered, try and change your order to a larger size. 

I know that they are unsanforized but after doing some research, many people say that the jeans will stretch back to it's original size in the waist. Even if you order the one wash measurement, they'll end up stretching back to the raw measurements from what I heard from many people. So again that leads me back to the question if it even matters if you soak it from the beginning or not. Besides the rise and inseam, i've been told by many that everything else will sretch back after a couple wears.

Ordered some raw xx-011 from blueingreen.

Should I soak them before I wear them or does it not matter?

Never soaked my apcs or 3sixteens before I wore them. Just washed them after a couple months.
