IH-666S - The Devil's Fit Indigo - Slim Tapered

[crankyfart]

after soaking, the denim still feels stiff. isit cos I took it out too soon? soaked for about an hour? expected something like a normal cloth denim but it's still stiffs. is this right or I've done it all wrong?

[Sugar Mountain]

No, the denim should be reasonably stiff - it's new raw denim. They'll soften up with wear (lots of it) and you can set your creases in the meantime.

[DougNg]

It's normal. It won't soften up until a few months of wear

I have a pair of SEXIH07's that still stand up after a couple years of wear and multiple washes

[crankyfart]

alright. pray hard it'll wear out ASAP. the journey starts tomorrow!

[Sugar Mountain]

No need to rush. Just enjoy the ride and your jeans will reflect whatever comes your way.

[crankyfart]

yeah sure. anyway wanna check, after drip dry, the jeans are kinda crumpled, do we iron them or just wear it? I'm lost.

[Giles]

Wear them….

[injunjack]

whatever suits you….next time you soak/wash them straighten them when they are still wet/damp.

[hajduk]

wear them! take a beer! a camel filter! a vichy-fraise! go for a ballade! BUT RELAX&WEAR:)

[crankyfart]

no need to iron? you sure Giles? hmm I already did my best straightening them while it was dripping.

[Giles]

Ironing them, won't harm them.  So it is up to you.  G

[crankyfart]

alright thanks. now I just hope they'll fit when dry. as for the length, I definitely gotta alter. ain't blessed vertically but only horizontally.

[DougNg]

The weird wrinkles will eventually relax out

However, you can wind up with tough creases after you iron that will cause a weird line fade sometimes

Just wear them, don't overthink it. You can potentially screw something up if you futz with it

I'm trying to think of something great to say about "blessed vertically" but I'm drawing a blank…

[Seul]

You and me both, Matt…

[crankyfart]

hahaha don't try to think mate. it's true that most Asians aren't blessed vertically. I'm 173cm, average height for an Asian. wearing jeans without hemming is impossible for us. we look like dwarfs beside Caucasian. LOL!

when I go drinking in Australia, I still get my ID checked even when I'm 21 turning 22. in sg, I seldom get checked. not even when I go sg pool or get cigs.

[crankyfart]

anyway do you guys wear it slightly damp or when its totally dry? let the jeans drip dry overnight but its still damp. now im leaving it to sun tan under the hot sun. hopefully i can start wearing it in an hour.

[elclintor]

I always start wearing mine while still damp. It helps set the combs and whiskers IMO..

[DougNg]

For me, depends if they're dry by the time it's time to wear pants…

If you need some stretching to occur, better to wear them damp. Damp denim stretches out easier than dry

[crankyfart]

alright, that shall be the way. damn excited to wear them. these denim feels special as compared to others.

the scene when i tried to squeeze into the denim yesterday was epic. needed both my 2 sisters to help me button up the last one. the fabric is way way way more stiff that my other denims and all the denims we have ever used. my elder sis had to use 1 leg to push me while holding 1 side of the denim (the one with the hole for the buttoning) and my younger sis, did the same, use 1 leg to push me while holding the buttong and trying to squeeze it into that tight hole.
