      Not much, @Crit_Obs. I only used cokd water, though. It was also a short cycle. I might only soak them in the future. The first time I didn't notice anything, but now that there is less dye, I think that's when the streaks pop out. Soaking only should avoid that I think.

        Also, sorry about the dick pic.

        It’s ok, this is a crotch shot. They’re fine [emoji1]

        Following the guidelines is always wise. I don’t baby my stuff otherwise but I now wash all my denim/duck/wabash etc with a soaking first and then machine washing, at least the first few times. This after fecking up a nice pair of grey IH chino’s. Still burns.

            @Wlemon You should check out my 5yr old pair that I posted in The Evolution of Iron Heart on June 2nd of this year. They’ve been thrown in the washing machine on a semi regular basis. All kinds of lines and marbling. Sorry I don’t know how to directly link you to that post.

                  I may have posted these before but I feel it's worth doubling up since they're so effing nice!

                  I also can't remember who's they were so if you recognise them, let yourself known. 🙂

                      Need to get pics of my SBG BB’s up some day. They are well worn even ID I say so myself.

                      Did you post the picture somewhere ?

                        Nope sorry. They’ve been up on WAYWT a few times this autumn though. They aren’t as well worn as the pair above, not as contrasty, but still decent. I’ll see what I can do later.

                          Thank You @Sam.  Feel free to use them for promo - your photos make them look amazing. 
                          These are my much loved first pair of IH denim.  They were purchased in Jan 2016, and that photo would've been taken when i sent them in for repair of crotch and sideseam in August 2017.  Great memory, @Alex.

                          They've evolved a little since then, although i haven't really worn them as much since last November.  I've been wearing my DWC pair of PIH5DCT pretty much solid since then.

                                A 60° C wash managed to squeeze an additional 0,5 inches shrinkage in length. So there is quite the shrinkage left in them for anyone interested.

                                  Thanks for you continuing contributions regarding this; I just grabbed a pair and waiting for them to arrive while plotting the appropriate soak/wash-to-shrink scheme.

                                  All in all, how much have you lost all around? Is it just the length you keep getting additional millimetres off of?

                                    @Crit_Obs I made the mistake of not getting all the length shrinkage out first time round.. so hemmed them following their first wash then subsequently got more shrinkage down the line.. as you can see above they certainly aren't long!

                                    The waist and thigh stretched back out pretty quickly after I put them on again though.

                                    The devil is in the detail..

                                      Here are the complete measurements after a hot soak and a 40° C wash. Alex did a shrink test, too. I think it's my third pair by now and so far I got ~1,5'' at 40° C and ~1,77'' at 60° C shrinkage for the inseam. They do lose most in length. Everything else shrinks a tad as well but I barely noticed it because they can stretch where needed. I'd say if they fit well in their raw state you will be good after a wash, too.

                                        Thanks guys @AdamJ & @Dion . The length is definitely something to keep a close eye on.

                                        Dion, I have been following your adventures in the shrinkage land ever since you found out these are actually unwashed. Thanks again.
