Hey guys. Noob here. I just bought a pair of Corpus Fine Straight raw denim and I have a couple questions I couldn't find answers to, despite my searching ...
1. Does anybody know how much Corpus jeans stretch? They fit me pretty much perfect right now but I'm afraid they might stretch too much ...
2. Should I soak them before wearing them too much? Also, is it OK to wash them (without drying) instead of soaking?
Any help is much appreciated ...

1. Wear a belt. It'll help reduce stretching in the waist.
2. No need to soak. You can throw them in a washing machine if you want but if your plan is to get good contrast on your fades I wouldn't recommend doing that with those jeans, at least no for a long while. Just soak them with some woolite dark or dr.bronners.

Thanks Who ... Should I soak them immediately or wear them for a while before soaking?Originally Posted by Dolorosa
You only soak jeans for one of two reasons: 1) you're trying to shrink them or 2) you're trying to clean them. Since they're already pre-shrunk and not dirty...

Just do whatever you feel comfortable doing. Running in jeans is not my idea of comfort, but if you genuinely believe that, go for it. They are just jeans after all. People, myself included, bike in jeans all the time.
And nothing fundamentally bad about washing jeans often. Unless you want mad fadez out of APC, Nudie or something...
