Fergz did a cold soak before wearing them.  You are ok soaking again now it won't hurt the denim IMO.

Sunday little update.. The jeans will be wash after this…

Roping on hem

Thanks for looking 

[Finn666]

love´em… 
i´m also thorn if i should wear and don´t give a fuck when it comes to washing or if i should wash every 3 months/when needed!...

what´s the "best" for this type of denim?...

[mankarat]

if i live in your place, i could leave it for 6 months without washing. But with the hot humid weather.. I could not do that.
Thanks Rafa

Sweet mank, those raws look absolutely abused! Love the brownish tinge…

[Fergz]

Looking good indedd Mankarat.

Yep, i did a cold soak on the jeans before i washed them but just wondering whether a hot soak wouldn't tighten them a little. Thanks for the feedback.

I'll go to the window, stroke my beard and muse on it.

Finn, I guess you know what I'm about to say. Wash at least every 3rd month if daily wear, I'd probably wash even more often.

You won't get so much contrast fading but who cares? I rather use clean clothes than smelly faded ones…

Abdul…..very nice man, I'm doing my 1-month pics tomorrow, then a wash in the washer to shrink the top-block down a bit.

So, what should I do??  Warm or Hot wash??

Cris.

[mankarat]

Warm soak should do the trick, they will shrinkage further with hot air/time length for the jeans to dry. The shortest drying time, the more shrinkage you got..

Just read everyones responses to my post about the crotch loll made me laugh for sure!
Guess I just gotta wear them harder

Thanks

Alrighty, 1-month (minus out 2 days for hot soak, and 1 day switchin' to 702's), 1 cold-soak, 1 top-block-hot-soak:

Fit:

They're hot-washin in the machine as we speak…..

[Finn666]

thanks for your update chris…looks great for one month in!
also this reminds me of shooting some pics for my 2month update!...

[crisone]

Thanks Finn…

I just took them out and they're hangin as we speak, they went through a spin cycle (which I forgot if I was suppose to do or not), so they should be hopefully dry by days end, for sure tomorrow though, then back on my legs.

Cris.

[Finn666]

if there´s any major difference after the wash it would be nice if you could post those pics as well! think you´re the first one who washed his pair…

[Blackheart]

Great pics cris, mine will be washed again this Friday ( 3rd wash in hot water, full cycle ) then off
to SELA to get shortened finally.

[crisone]

Will do….and I think Blackheart and injun did it this way too, correct me if I'm wrong.

Cris.

[Blackheart]

Yes IJ and myself did the hot machine wash and it worked great!

[injunjack]

[crisone]

Injun, yeah, i did mine inside-out as well….

[Seul]

I love how they fit you, man… Seriously: just perfect!..
