      Can anyone give me some tips on soaking this pair? I did a quick forum search but thought Id ask on here as it is this particular style and cut.

      I have worn them about ten times. I am not looking to adjust fit as its great as is and I don't want to shrink them.

      My goal is to take down some of the dye transfer I'm getting on practically everything lol!

        Tepid/warm water and agitation would be the way.

        However you’ll only really loose the very outer layer of very loose indigo. These bleed. A lot. That will likely continue after the soak.

        The only real to move indigo is friction and abrasion. So by wearing them.

          Ok understood! I'll just have to be more conscious of what I wear them with, I made the mistake of wearing them with my IH white wabash shirt over the weekend, I don't know what I was thinking on that one! Lesson learned!
          (It did look good though).

            I wouldn’t worry too much. I stopped caring about white/light clothing years ago as everything comes out in the wash. Footwear and furniture tends to be the big problem.

              Oh that's good to know about the wash. Do you just do a cold wash with mild detergent or pre treat with something?

              Luckily our couch is a denim blue type color!

              I was aware of the crocking on boots, that doesn't bother me at all really, In fact the next boot to go on under these is the Muleskinner Iron Rangers so I'm sure the crocking on those will get crazy.

                I wash my shirts/cut & sewn on 40C in the machine with a regular detergent. I use oxy for bad stains on white or cream, but that’s mostly for marinara or curry sauce [emoji38]

                Indigo bonds very poorly with cotton which is why we get fades. It also means that indigo transfer comes out of cotton very easily.

                    My pleasure. There’s still a lot of myths and over-thinking around when it comes to this kind of thing. At the end of the day, they’re just clothes.

                    It’s good to learn something about indigo though, as that can be tricky. I try to be chill about the whole thing, but the idea of spot washing denim still gives me hives [emoji23]

                      Yes agreed, I like to know why things are happening when it comes to these clothes and their characteristics.

                      I had never heard of the indigo bonding poorly to cotton and that's what's creates fades and then also gets the transfer dye out easier.

                      I usually take a deep dive on new hobbies so this is all great knowledge.

                      Next purchase is a wabash vest so I'm currently reading through that thread!

                              Now my question becomes, do I give up my trusted and dependable GAH loop buddy for this looker? 😜😜

                                  @dfa Looking really good! Watch that your jeans don’t crotch blowout, but if they do, the guy’s at IH are really good at fixing them 🙂

                                    @goosehd ha, you really got in there! Now that the 21s restocked, these are going to take a bit of a break and get sent off for repairs.

                                      Love the contrast stitching on these. The 555s is definitely my IH fit. Now I'm deciding between the indigo 25oz, 21oz or these to rotate with the 14oz ib.
