    im pretty curious. do you guys soak your 666-xhs before 1st wear or you guys just wear em' straight away?

    http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2657.0

    they only mention for raw denim. 666-xhs aren't raw right? so i guess they can be worn straight away as mentioned by hajduk?

    anyway im just asking cos mine is still as stiff as feck after wearing around 10 times. 😞

    make peace, not war. <3

      It does not just mention raw denim, see after Raw Denim paragraph:

      "Regular and Pre-Soaked Raw Denim (does not need soaking before wearing)"

          Wore 'm for 6 months straight away. Will now soak 'm every 2-3 months or so. No science behind, although I would recommend a soak after a month or so to soften them up a bit, especially if you cuff (to avoid bad hem fraying).

                    had them for 4 wks. I need to get these hemmed a couple inches shorter. I live in Minneapolis, USA. Feeling like it is worth sending them out to get proper chain stitched… Any suggestions, recommendations?

                    Thanks

                      Get them chainstiched. They're worth it. Edit: Just Re-read your post; http://www.selfedge.com/ would be my first idea in the US.

                      First crotch fix.

                        If SE doesn't do mail in chain stitching, you can try Tate + Yoko in Montreal or Dutil in Toronto.

                          Or Blue in Green in New York. Railcar in California also does hemming

                              Blue Owl Workshop in Seattle, no question.  Jay is a great dude and is the only person I will send my jeans to for hemming, even though I live in Raleigh NC and the Raleigh Denim Curatory is 15 min away.  24hr turnaround and spectacular service and quality hemming job.  $25 per pair for hemming, plus return shipping.  Just put a note in with your request (thread color, length, whatever) and contact info and he'll get you sorted out.

                                        They won't be too exciting… Camera choices limited to phone or 4 year old Cyber-shot...

                                        I'd enlist some help from a couple of camera geeks at work, but they already think I'm mad :(.
