            You might find it at a True Value hardware store.

              @Brock I'm interested to know what you thought of the smell of the soap. I think it smells okay, and one guy says it stinks… what did you think?

                    Interesting thread, thanks gents.
                    I currently either rinse my denim with lukewarm water in the shower if only a quick rinse is needed or a soak in the bath with mild soap.
                    Straightening out and hanging to dry is key for me.

                      Do you do that whilst wearing them? I've read Fanya washes his in the shower too. And I wonder if that  means while they are being worn…

                      I'd do that but my jeans are always really dirty and smelly.

                        No, not while wearing them. Usually light soiling mud, dust maybe some food and drink especially if one of my young kids sits on me to eat!

                        I use the pressure from the shower head to wash dirt off. I dont usually get too much bleeding, like you do if you soak for a while.

                          Does hand washing eliminate the creases on the back leg?

                            Are you referring to the honeycombs or are you referring to the creasing you can get from machine washing?

                                If anything it helps keep the creases consistent.

                                  Guys,
                                  I have a question. According to IH, the 25oz should soak or wash before use . Attached instructions for XHS

                                  What do you guys do? I have yet to soak or wash and it has been good three weeks now. Am I doing something wrong ? Should I soak or wash?

                                  Honestly I ignored the instruction upon jeans arrival. Last night I read and little confused .

                                        Also, I should add about the 25 oz xhs… I've found through experimentation over 4 pairs that if you soak them and they feel like sandpaper when they've dried, you've not gotten all the sizing out of the fabric. It isn't until about the 3rd soak do you get all the sizing out of the denim and it thickens up and gets a soft hand.

                                        You can use this to your advantage though if you want very angular and high contrast honeycombs and creases. The sizing helps the staying power of the creases.

                                        It's not necessary to soak. But read above.

                                          They should really be soaked, but I never bother…..
