      Excuse the noob but is it advised to let the denim dry between the initial soak and wash?

      Actually the opposite. They should go into the machine wet as it makes the material more supple so sharp creases won’t form as easily.

          Is anyone actually going to wear the jeans or is this a thread about men doing laundry  😃

                My jeans are arriving here in Hawai‘i today. I have two Pair coming. After I determine which pair fits  I will Soak and then wash in a front Loader. I’m nervous about creases and temp. The machine has 3 settings. Cold warm and hot. The cold is prob about 70F… cuz the water here is like Piss.  That will Also be my cold Soak temp. Thoughts @neph93 ??

                Maybe so. Maybe not

                  [emoji23] I can report I wore mine for a hour or so tonight Mega. Going for a first full day tomorrow.

                  I am pleasantly pleased with the darkness of the indigo. I was under the impression UHR were more of a lighter shade

                    You guys are killing me.  Just when I thought I talked myself out of these because I own 2 pairs made out of the UHR denim.

                    It's probably my favorite from Iron Heart, though.

                      That temp seems kind of pointless. The aim has to be to get rid of all shrinkage without fucking your jeans up so I'd run your tap hot for the soak and wash on the middle setting, but for the love of all that is indigo, put them on the lowest spin setting or take them out before. You'll be fine.

                      On another note. I've reluctantly decided that I'm not getting a pair of these. I love the UHR but that thigh is a bit too big for me. I'll stick to my 888S for now… It's making me sad but it's for the best.

                          I thought mine would arrive today but they got rerouted to a pet store at the last minute. So I guess next week now.

                                  … distilled vinegar added for natural softening & antibacterial properties...

                                  @Giles  does this work? Is it safe for the Superblack denim? I wouldn't mind softening my pair up just a touch.

                                    I thought vinegar set the dye so that it wouldn’t fade.
