Post Wash Fit

Waist shrinks about 0,5 inches with a 30 degree wash in the Machine

[neph93]

0,5" seems a lot from such a cool wash. What kind of spin cycle did you use?

[T.J.]

I soaked them for 10 Minutes in hand warm water and then in the wash machine 30 degrees with good agitation, but without spin.

[patrickcassidy23]

I've been wearing mine daily since Saturday and they're starting to become soft. I really love these, it's just a bit different since my only other denim from IH has been the 21oz.

These jeans are beautiful. Huge thanks to Matt @Winchy for the sizing help.

I put them on to stretch before soaking, but the car decided it doesn't appreciate new pants day. Ended up breaking them in with dirt, asphalt, and grease instead of water…

I love the rise and length right now though, and the thigh is a bit tight, so maybe it's a sign these should just never be washed or soaked anyway.

Couldn't take any real fit pics due to the circumstances...

[Winchy]

Thanks for the update @Vickt, they're looking good.

If you do wash/soak them they will tighten up a little,but stretch out again pretty quickly. Look perfect on you.

Giles is there a tag 36 in these in stock with Prionto. Size chart looks spot on for me in preference to the other version??

[Giles]

We will restock what we can in both models….

[flavour79]

Thanks Giles. Any ETA for me prepare?

[Giles]

I have just heard from Pronto.  They have nothing left in either style in 34, 36 or 38, so we can't restock those.  Sorry.

[flavour79]

Thanks for the update. Will just have to sit tight for the 888nt

FWIW: I got about 0.5" shrinkage in the waist and 1" in length from a 60°C soak without agitation. The denim looks and feels thinner and lighter than the standard 21oz and is much stiffer. I have yet to discover the described "softness" of this fabric 

[patrickcassidy23]

Yeah, I was hoping they would soften up like the 21oz denim but nothing so far… 

[Jett129]

Mine are pretty soft,not exactly like the 21OZ,but super comfortable. I don't know if this makes a difference,but I wash mine right out of the bag,and then probably every 10-12 days. I never do the soaking thing.

[patrickcassidy23]

Does anyone have some progress pictures? Would love to see how they're coming along.

[patrickcassidy23]

So, around 2 weeks ago I realized the stitching in the corner of my back pocket was completely undone and I can pull up the whole corner of my back right pocket. Has anyone had any issues with stitching on this model? This is my first time with IH.

[Giles]

I blow the stitching there on every pair of jeans I own.  Normally takes about 6/8 weeks.  Sometimes I tack it back down, sometimes I don't.

My current jeans (IH-666S-18) did that after about 8 weeks.  I keep on meaning to fix them but keep forgetting.  That was 5 months ago and they have not got any worse…

We use the strongest Polycotton thread made in Japan, but sometimes it just is not man enough for the heavy stuff....

Lol this is my first blown stitch and i've been wearing IH for 3 years now so it caught me off guard. Also, my girl called me out saying "I thought IH was stronger than that" lol. I feel better now though, ill fix it next week.
