      I hot soak them now and put them in the washer afterwards without spin and inside out. I have taken pre soak measurements, if anyone is interested I can post them after the wash.

          Yep. So far I always went good with your recommendation. Just worrying if I should let them dry first after the soak prior to washing.

                          Gave mine a soak this morning with the tap on full hot — scalded my hands a bit giving the jeans some agitation, might chill just a wee bit on the temp for the 2nd go-round haha…

                          Didn't do super precise before/after measurements, but did a quick check with a cloth tape and it seems like the waist, front rise, and inseam all came in around an inch. I tried them on to see how they felt, and the waist and rise seemed to loosen up back to pre-wash feel after a couple of squats. Will give em one more hot soak with agitation tomorrow.

                          This is my first pair of 634s — I tried some of the 17oz at one point but just couldn't get a pair that worked for me. These, however, are seeming like they'll be my favorite fitting IHs I've owned. Slimmer than I thought but still more room than 666, really perfect.

                                  You need to soak first, wash gently after. These are loom state so hopping over these steps may result in premature damage to material and stitching.

                                    Hey @neph93 it just occurred to me — when you say soak first, then wash, are you actually using detergent on said wash? Is that necessary if they're brand new? I'm curious if that would have any effect on the denim. Sorta seems like it wouldn't make a difference, but of course I could be totally wrong.

                                      Hey [mention]popvulture [/mention]  - I do the same method you do for washing jeans. I’ve found that doing it myself in my tub gives me the results I’m looking for. What I believe the reason to be for soak them wash is that - the soak will saturate the cotton and then upon drying allow them to tighten up together for most of the constructional sewing. The wash afterwards is to get the machine to agitate the denim sufficiently to get all the shrink out.

                                      What I think would be best for us, is two super hot tub soaks (use a thick plastic hanger / spatula / stiff non porous instrument to agitate in tub) and no need to add any detergent. The hot water, drying, and tub agitation should accomplish what a machine does with a little more elbow grease involved. I don’t think you’ve got anything to worry about using your method.

                                      If anyone else has any other info, happy to be updated with better info. My tub journey starts tomorrow! [emoji369][emoji158]

                                        Makes sense! The reason I got to wondering about it is that I saw Neph's comment, then I happened to pick up the IH care pamphlet that came with my jeans (oddly I never read them, numbskull that I am). It said soak, followed my machine or hand wash… to which I was like "what's the difference between a soak and a wash?"

                                        Could it be detergent? Or just same thing, different word? All I know is that I find it beyond comical that we geek out this much about this shit, but I do enjoy the hell out of it 😉

                                            Hi guys. Received mine and is ready to soak and wash. I’m gonna follow the attached IH instructions thoroughly with one hot soak, hang dry and then a gentle wash. But could anyone help me define Hot! What temperature in Celsius are we  talking about approximately?
                                            Thx in advance
