So as the raw do not shrink much, did they actually create 2 different patterns for the 5010xx one-wash and raw?
While the waist fits great, I feel the thighs are too big, and I play soccer, so I don't understand this.

The one wash are identical... except they've been washed once.Originally Posted by scoon0224
They've actually been washed in extremely hot water once, then dried in industrial dryers, then washed AGAIN in extremely hot water, and then dried again. The process literally destroys the denim...

Kiya, what do you mean by "destroy the denim"? Longevity? Fading characteristics? Just curious. Thanks.

All that's left after the two harsh industrial dryings and washings they go through is a limp lifeless piece of denim that has a grey haze over it...
