As scroogen said.  I take an initial soak to be a soak, if it goes into a washing machine it is a wash….

[Guest]

So an initial soak/soak, no need to flip inside-out? For a wash, always flip inside-out? Or really, is it just a matter of preference?

[Giles]

Correct.  Because most of our denim is so stiff/heavy, the denim tends to crease in the washing machine and you will get abrasion/fades on those creases - Not good.

[Guest]

Alright, thank you sir! Initial soak outside out it is! Anyone object?

[Snowy]

^ What temperature? ^__^ xoxoxx (I cold soak, FYI)

[Guest]

^ Haha, well initial soak I like to do a super hot soak

Random question.  Where is Dirty Denim?  Used to see lots of pics, but not seeing any lately. Hope all is well.

He's getting spewed upon by his wee'un…

Yeah, those first 4-6 months are rough, especially on the first kid.  Major lifestyle changes…

And new budget constraints!

I can vouch for this.

I think that this is a general feeling amongst men, but women would more likely disagree. I know that now Tommy is coming up to 7 that Pam would probably say that he is more difficult now than when when first born, However now he has stepped into my arena of parenting, where threats, intimidation, removal of privileges etc…... work better with him, and are more my area of expertise than rocking to sleep, or changing nappies.

What is Motorhead Clothing by Iron Heart?  Is it a collab H is doing?  I really wish I could read and speak Japanese….

[FurattoHeddo]

I think it's another (physical) shop that the big H. will open soon, but I could be wrong …

[tigerpac]

^That's what I thought too, shop name.

[CLJ]

Just curious. May or may not be classified info. Wondering what is the most commonly sold waist size jean from IH? My guess would be 32-34.

[Chris]

Sounds about right to me, too, but only Giles can say for sure.  Of course, that would be for IHUK; IH Japan will probably be more like size 30.

And if you believe the US government, they make it seem like all Americans are 40 waist or above

[Chris]

Based on my non-scientific observation, I'd say that's about right.

Hey Seul, do you know my new buddy? He's Belgium I guess
