      Well either way. I know it's been discussed, but I always appreciate input the longer people having been wearing the denim. I don't have a tub at the moment so I may just say fuck it until the first wash. But I'd really hate to see tears at the cuffs… I'm also not convinced a preemptive soak will do anything to mitigate that.

          You don't have to use a tub. I use a large paint bucket I bought at the hardware store for a couple bucks

            Good idea. Just cram them in there? Inside out?

                      Soak em, it will settle the seams and stuff like that.

                        Is turning them inside out really necessary for just a cold soak?

                          No, not for a soak. Only if you're machine washing do you need to turn them inside out.

                            But it doesn't hurt and it's not that much work

                            My take: it's added value to turn them inside out

                              Well I soaked these last night and am currently in an epic battle. So far, the tally goes:

                              25 oz: 1
                              Me: 0

                              I can barely type my fingers hurt so badly, and my hips are seriously sore. I shall persevere! I was able to button them all the way up after the cold soak (which did shrink them a wee bit). Granted, I had to do the top button lying down…

                              Anyways, I know I can conquer them! Just need more time. Off to scrub the indigo off my nails..

                                  and there he stands again (after 1/2 bottle of rum)

                                  Glad to see the 1/2 bottle didn't blow you down.  Great pics.  I'm surprised you washed so fast (less than 3 mos. in).  Any difference in the denim after the wash?

                                  &Spring Son of Light: Same question; what is the difference post-soak?

                                    thanks ponyboy,
                                    it was a old, not sweet, single cask rum. mmmmh
                                    –-----------------------
                                    if got a 1 year old son, therefore (and because of my clumsiness) my close tend to get dirty quick.
                                    plus, i don't make a fuss about washing my jeans.

                                    no difference after the wash (wool cycle 30°C) exept of the highlights.
                                    should have taken some before after picts.
                                    cheers

                                      I did not notice much difference in the denim itself, it remained pretty stiff. I got a tiny bit of shrinkage which I think was more just the weave tightening a bit. They were a tight for a few hours, so I tucked in my tee shirt to protect my hip bones. I'm on day 3 now (2 day post soak) and they feel perfect. Will post a pic in a bit after I have breakfast 😉

                                            Looking good arrow. I've been wearing the shit out of mine and still gots nowhere near that much electric blue.
