Happy with the shrinkage. They are very stiff at the moment so look a bit weird but I believe they soften up quickly from what I've read here. I washed at 40 low spin but think I should get some more shrinkage in leg next wash. Waist is perfect. These feel like cardboard right now compared to my fullcounts

220AXX have just arrived from Bears. The preshrink photos are looking promising. Currently in the wash so will post an update once dry which at this current temperature will be in a couple of weeks 🙃

I just ordered the 220a xx offset in 33x30 from Bears. Never tried STF before so excited and nervous in equal measures. I hope they don't shrink beyond 30inches... Maybe I should have played it safe and got 32 lenght but hemming is a real pain (no chain stitching near me so need to post them out) and I really prefer a no cuff or very thin cuff. I've asked Bears to confirm measurements so hopefully that should help. They're always super helpful

So yours only shrank 3 cm :S well according to Bears measurements. Guess there is variance though

I think I'm going to go with the DENIME Lot.220A OFFSET XX model but now I'm not too sure about sizing. Bears says it shrinks 6cm in waist and lenght but can see other sites are saying less. My perfect waist is 41 to 42 cm measured flat. Should I go for the 32 inch which is 85cm or 33inch which is 88cm? Also inseam wise i like a 30 inch so assume i should go for that as looks like full shrinkage in lenght is just under 31 inches?

Do you know if this would have used cone mill? Or is it denim made in Turkey?

@Maynard Friedman Ah interesting. Thanks for the info. They seem hardly worn though and we're pretty cheap so thought I'd give them a shot. Hopefully they still fade similar to other 47s I've seen in here...might need to hem though

I picked up a pair of used 47s from Ebay. I've never had LVC before. These ones are made in Turkey so sadly not USA or Japan. I'm a bit confused though as I though all LVC were STF but this measures exactly 34 inches inseam. Were these originally maybe a one-wash then or are they oversized and have shrank to their described label? I believe these are from 2013. They are VERY stretchy too that I had to double check they are 100% cotton...nice leg twist too

Out of interest what is it you like so much about the fabric?

Those jeans are fantastic. Great fit

Hello! I'm looking at the Denime products on Bears website. I've not had any Denime before. I see that it seems to go up to 15.9oz after washing. That's quite heavy for me as usual don't go beyond 14. Do they feel heavy? Are they still comfortable? Is this across all fabrics? I'm also unsure between the 220A fabric, 220xx, 224 Ishikawadai Denim. It seems that the 220A is a favourite on here? Any particular reason? Also the 6 cm waist and lenght shrinkage on Bears. Is that accurate? Does it continue to shrink more than that after more washes or is 6cm the max? Thanks for the help

Will need to see some pics of those! I've committed far too much wear to my 714s to give up on them now.

I love how my 710s faded too but just found them too slim after a while. Shame
