      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.

                        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]

                              True. But I would have mentioned it first time around. Just to twist the knife [emoji56]

                                  @Matty123 , mine were crushing me at first, and for the first 10-15 wears. Now they are perfect 👌

                                  If they fit just right in the waist after a wash then they may be a little loose after some wear, nothing too bad though, and @Giles has a fine range of belts for sale  😉

                                      Good choice, but be prepared to think you were wrong after soaking them….feel the pain.....persevere......love your jeans (in about a month  😃 ).

                                        Yeah I’m totally prepared for the second guessing. So far I’ve bought 2 pair of IH denim a tad too big. Wearable and comfortable and awesome. But big. I’m going for it.

                                        Thanks Bud

                                          I have no idea whether putting vinegar anywhere will make the jeans softer.  I do know however, that vinegar retarding fading is an old wives tale, as is sea washing being good for fades.

                                            My pair is drying after a 1.5 hour hot soak and a 40 deg wash w/o spin. In a few places, there are tiny marks and dents like these. I suspect I mashed the jeans in too much and should have checked that they were more smoothed out in the drum.

                                            Ah well, I think it’ll only be noticable by me. Luckily there are no long lines or major spots that have faded…
