IH-888-NT - 21/23oz indigo Selvedge DWC Jeans
-
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 ??

[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.

That last paragraph gives me a clue of how you broke up With every girl you ever dumped. And you gave us the news on a Friday. Textbook. Wow

Now the agonizing wait for them to be dry-ish begins.

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

Hmmm… if that were truly the case I’d have already bought another pair of jeans and started wearing them hard, last Friday [emoji15][emoji41]

I didn’t say you theoretically hadn’t.

I think you’ll be just fine. The thighs will only shrink about .3 of an inch and will loosen up a bit. Probably feels constricting now because of the weight and stiffness of the denim. They look great though [emoji1434]

@neph93 @Megatron1505 correct me if I’m wromg but you guys are of The opinion that they should be a little too Tight in the waist at first and then they will Stretch? Thansk
