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

You won't get another 2" off the length, I'll be surprised if you manage another 1"….

Careful with boiling water, don't want to mess up your patch.  maybe wear awhile then wash'em and see what happens.  You can always hem later.

Thanks for the sound advice.

By washing (when I eventually do wash), do you mean machine wash? Cold, warm or hot? With detergent or without? Obviously, I will hang dry.

Sorry for all the questions. I was assuming these jeans would come with some tips for care procedures, but that was not the case. You guys on the forum have have been terrific resources however. Many thanks for helping out this newbie.

All of my jeans, sanforized or not, get treated the same way.  Upon arrival, turn inside out, wash in the machine, gentle cycle, light detergent.  Hang dry.  When needed, which is about every 4-6 weeks for me (I'm a sweaty man and I live in a hot and humid climate), repeat.  They're denim, not silk.  Don't overthink it.

My bad.  We made the stupid assumption that everyone knew what they were doing or that they would read this thread..

This is the key. Unless you wash them in sulphuric acid, everything will be fine.

This denim shrinks about 2-3 inches tops. You will not get anymore shrinkage in length than that.

Got my first pair of IH delivered this morning.

terrible photo but…

[feeel]

My 666s post soak are super tight on the thigh, will they stretch out a little with wear? They definitely shrunk more than I was expecting, and they are still a little damp.

[Giles]

they will stretch out to pre soak or even a little more

[Snowy]

The good thing about a terrible photo is that any future photos are sure to be an improvement; welcome!

Thread derail.  Snowy - Shoque hasd just implemented anaytics on the forum…..

[Snowy]

Wow, super fast! I've missed having him around :). Ends derail.

On a 666S note, I'm pretty sure these are my next work jeans. Probably 3-4 months away
