      It is great to finally join the Iron Heart family and I cannot thank Ben and the team enough for such a great first time experience in such a wonderful product and brand.

      Welcome Nick and congrats on a fabulous pair of jeans and a beautiful pair of boots.

      I would strongly recommend do the soak/wash now. If they were tight from the off their may have been something to gain from wearing for a while, but seeing your fit, I’d get the shrinkage out now.

      Thank you @neph93 it is great to be here!

      They are soaking as I type  😉 I will drip dry and then put out in the sunshine, or it better indoors, I don't want to tempt too much shrinkage?

      I have been breaking in the Jobmasters, they are super comfortable. What is recommended to feed the leather this first time and waterproof?

      Thanks again, Nick

        Outdoors, but in the shade as the sun can fade then prematurely (unless you're going for that, then all power to ya!)

          Drying does not cause shrinkage, lubrication and agitation does.

            The domain leathers are waxed so are fairly waterproof already. Seeing as these are new, the leather shouldn’t need anything for a while.

            However if they are going to see a lot of water/snow/ice/mud, I would recommend a silicon based treatment for the uppers and some kind of natural oil/wax/creme for the midsoles.

            The other option is to do nothing and bare witness to the glory that is a trashed pair of Wesco’s. They’ll still last for years even with negligent treatment.

                  That should be right in time for the winter season. Is there a piece in stock in Japan that can be bought over in size 31? No problem if not. I just wanted to try my luck.

                              Well Iv been waiting all year to purchase these due to TX weather finally "cooling" off. Im absolutely in love with the 25oz 555 fit, its definitely THE cut for me. Im 170ibs, 5'7 and I ordered a 30 tag size hemmed inseam to 30. Im able to get two good cuffs when desired or leave them un-cuffed with no stacking in the leg or bunching at the ankle. This is my first pair of XHS and let me tell you when I first put these on I was a little nervous  :D. It took a lot of patience to button them last night. I went to dinner last night (first time wearing them) and then slept in them as well. Woke up today and can button them with ease. It's funny what a day can do breaking these in so Im excited to break these in a little and then soak at the end of the week.

                              Bury me in my leather

                                    It pays to have dark sheets though. I took a nap in new jeans once on white sheets. The better half was not pleased.

                                    That is a really nice office.

                                      Indeed, I have dark grey sheets because I learned the hard way when first getting into the selvedge world  ::) I travel for work sometimes and I bet house keeping hates me but I make sure to leave a tip for the indigo inconvenience.

                                            Washing will do it. Bit of wax pre wash helps too.
