IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Back from hemming and think they're exactly how I wanted them. Really love the fit of these and my 1st Iron Hearts have more than lived up to my expectations.

@cosmic55 I’d say you nailed it. They break perfectly and the hem sits just right. Great job. Now to beat them up
Thanks, I reckon they are about perfect. The waist is stretching out nicely as well and should be spot on.
Always found it hard to believe when I read that the 21oz denim is really comfortable but these feel great already and should only get better.

Compared to other IH denims the 21oz ages in a mellow way but the results are spectacular. And they drape beautifully after a while.
Sounds good to me!
I'm hoping to get a good few years out of these

Did you wash/soak them first?

No, haven’t washed or soaked yet but am I right in thinking this isn’t necessary as the 21oz is sanforized and once washed?

You just might get a tad bit of shrinkage in the length which is why it's generally a good idea to soak and agitate them a bit before hemming or just take a little less off if you aren't going to soak/wash before hemming. You should be good though.

I’ve washed 21oz on 90C Max spin and nothing has happened. Any tightening you get from a wash can be countered by giving the inseam a long hard pull, (as the actress said to the bishop) while still wet from a wash.

How do you usually wash yours?
I generally wash in the bath at a fairly low temp and hang dry or 30c in machine no spin cycle.
Will probably wash these in the bath and I might make sure I stretch inseam before they dry just to be sure!

I have never got any shrinkage in the length on any of my pairs in the 21oz. I have washed them hot with high spin and never noticed it.
I wouldn’t worry yours will be fine.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hand wash them in the bath, low temp, hang dry. Like I said it's a very small amount of shrinkage and I'm sure you'll be fine. I can only really notice it because of the cuff line. I cuff my jeans and wearing them for an extended period before the first soak sets a line where the cuff folds. After the first wash I end up having to cuff just a tad bit lower than initial line that was set pre soak…if that makes sense.

On this topic… How much length do the 'combs tend to take off with the 21oz? Half-inch-ish?
-
I usually get a solid .5 inch of shrinkage
