      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

                What is considered a gentle spin cycle? My machines lowest rpm is 600, is this too much?

                    My gentle is not at all.  I drip dry.

                      Honestly some people are unbelievable.

                      How hard is a hot soak…

                      Then machine wash with no spin.
                      Leave to dry.

                      But then again every person has brain….. lol

                      Don’t know how to use it..

                        Well I mean, people spend almost 400 bucks on a pair of jeans — the directions make sense but it’s understandable there’s a worry about fucking them up. Especially when every other sentence in the thread is MAKE SURE YOU GET THE SHRINK OUTTTTT. Like I said, comical. 😃

                          I think we will rewrite the last sentence in the washing instructions, it's a tad misleading for RAW especially.

                          From: Do not tumble dry (this is likely to cause shrinkage and white marks).
                          to
                          Do not tumble dry, this is likely to cause marbling (white marks/lines where the fabric rubs the drum of the tumble dryer)

                              Wouldn’t worry too much…. Buttoning denim that gnarly is always hard. Use a pair of long nose pliers to stretch the buttonhole.

                                Thanks @neph93, good shout I will go and find some. Using a teaspoon at the moment.

                                It’s all good, all part of raw thick denim!

                                  Wore mine today for an hour, it’s simply too hot for them in Austria atm. Buttoning up needs some efforts but was ok. They are soaking right now. Will wear them then for a while before their first wash. It’s the most gnarly denim I have seen so far. I didn’t get them hemmed yet, decided to wear them for a while, give them a view washes and then probably get them hemmed when in Gosport next time.

                                  God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere. Willie Nelson

                                    While you have soak them, are you gonna wait to dry them,
                                    wash later or wash straight away.

                                      Wash later. My approach is wear them a bit and see how they fit and stretch, then soak and drip dry. Will wear them then for a certain time to see how much they stretch. Then give them a carful cold wash, no spin. Wear again, if I need more shrinkage the next wash will be warm. I bought them them almost true to size. My target waist is 34 inch the tag size 33 I have are 33.8 inch. I therefore will be very carefully in the beginning to not get to much shrinking of the waist. Didn’t wet the waist with the first soak for example.

                                      God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere. Willie Nelson

                                          Yep me too, one hour. I hate wearing uncomfy jeans. Therefore with raw I am pretty carefully at the beginning. If I need more shrinkage I can easily get it later as well.

                                            Do I need to get this translated intro some sort of other language? I can't believe it's not clear enough….

                                            https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=10386.0

                                            Perhaps it's less that they don't understand, so much as they want to know if anyone's had as-good or better results following a different procedure? I know many XHS owners (yourself included IIRC, but correct me if I'm wrong) don't follow the official IH instructions for breaking in that denim. Maybe all these posters are curious if the veterans of the last UHR run came up with an alternate process for this one, too?

                                            IDK, I think the directions are pretty crystal, and I am not a smart man. I'd like to believe that the rest of these folks aren't asking from lack of comprehension.
