Did another soak, felt there was more shrinkage to be done and now it fits much better.

[Mr Black]

Those look great. I know what my next pair needs to be...

[spidereye]

Nice fit lamebrain.

[Warakia]

Wow, the difference with the presoak fit is night and day really. Great fit!

[LameBrain]

Cheers guys.

hey guys, just wondering if anyone still doing proxy from their taobao shop? thanks.

[Warakia]

Lots of Taobao proxies on the internet, such as Mr. Taobao.

[arya_triad]

@warakia

yeah I realized that there are lots of taobao proxy out there. was just worried about their credibility as I've never had any experience with them unlike those japan proxy. do you have any experience with any of the proxies? mr taobao perhaps? thanks.

[Warakia]

I know a few of the big Taobao proxies have tons and tons of feedback so just go with them and it'll be fine. I don't have experience with proxies myself as I've only used Taobao within China, but I do know multiple people who had positive experiences with Mr. Taobao.

@Foxy2 nice RC collection

[Foxy2]

Thanks - I really like the fabrics, cuts & details.

[Contrast]

If only they had the r425H in the twisted yarn 17oz fabric. Instacop. Might get the r400h and taper them as the slub looks amazing.

@arya_triad

hi, just answer your question about Mr. taobao. there are a lot of shops in taobao, some shops have positive credibility, some others have not. It is really depending on who run and operate. but RED CLOUD has their offical Taobao shop specifically for online retailing in MAINLAND China, which has been recognised by red cloud. so you can believe it. But if you want to buy something else in taobao, I suggest you to check if there is a offical online store which has been recognised by the brand

Thinking of purchasing the R400H, but I'm thinking of skipping or at least delaying the pre-soak to at least 2 months, cause I just don't want the raw starchy feeling of new jeans to go away. Any thoughts or advise on this? Anyone worn unsanforized jeans and skipped the pre-soak?

[mat_wue]

I would not do it, your fades will end up at the wrong place and the denim is very brittle and fragile when raw, you will get for example damages in the crotch area much faster.

Just soak them and let them air dry, they will still have a lot of starch in them.

[LameBrain]

You better soak them. The shrink a lot and you don't want ur creases and folds to shift when u soak them down the road. After the soak, the jeans still feel raw and starchy as you desired.

And the Hemp denim looks pretty stiff & itchy anyway. For comfort's sake (and to polong the life of the denim) soak them.

[jdnwng]

What kind of soak would you recommend? Hot/cold? And for how long?

[Capsicum Fried Meat]

I usually using warm water(not boiling) for soaking them at least one hour then throw them in the machine for rinsing and drying.

After soaking them, the hemp denim are just like others actually. I don't feel stiff or itchy, just comfortable.

Yes, soak them before wearing.
