If you come from wearing slim fit jeans, some of the more classic inspired cuts can feel a little weird at first. That said, Lot 64 are an overall slimmer cut - so if you want something even slimmer you probably won't shrink these to your satisfaction - and if you're trying to do the wear from raw state thing, having these hit water 3 times before you start isn't great. They will soften up with some wear - if you wear them - it's normal for jeans to be stiff after they dry. They will also start to drape more naturally. It would probably be best to get the measurements you actually want dialed in and shop for fit first.

Mall jeans have been the usual for me with 511 flavor fits, 34 vanity size. Actual is a bit over 35.

I might get these altered. Do any of you alter your denim (Besides hemming)? Or spot dry them using a hair dryer?

Don’t know much about the raw state thing to care. I don’t mind experimenting with these since the price was right. 

Hello, new to all this. My first quality denim: new mister freedom California lot.64 Sc66. Size 36. Got these off ebay for a great price.

I first cold soaked these, then hang dried. Still too big, so I hot soaked them… twice. They shrunk a bit in the waist but still feel too big in the thigh. Material on the side of the thigh kinda remind me of MC hammer. My waist is a bit over 35 but I got chicken legs so Im usually trapped with the larger thigh&knee measurements that come with the larger waist sizes. Also, I feel like these got stiffer?

I’m wondering if I should put these in the washer and dryer. Or should I do another hot soak and use a hair dryer on the outer thigh area?

Or, get them altered?

I’ll try another fit in the future but would appreciate any help on these!
