      1 soak 1 very light machine wash, hemmed by IH Crew, very little shrinkage, super happy with the fit. The denim is amazing. Thanks to all the Ironheart crew for their  patience and great customer service. I am a very happy boy [emoji41][emoji106] even the buttons are ok now 🥵

        Yes, this thread is shaping up to be excellent but more fit-pics wouldn’t go amiss.

        I'm going to give mine another 24 hours to finish shrinking (LOL) then they're off to get hemmed.  Hopefully get some fit pics posted next week.

        Blanket-line all the things!!!

          ^ wonderful fit @Chad mac  and really very good with the shirt.

          While I’m at it, thanks everyone for documenting the shrinkage. I’m pushing my luck with the waist on my pair after sizing down so it is good to see what I can expect when they get here.

          This is a brilliant thread so far.

            Great fit, Chad!  Dang, you were right on target with the hemming.  I didn't have them hemmed because I had no idea how much they'd shrink with a bath.  Did yours shrink at all in the inseam?

              That shirt… seriously the one that got away! Anyways, everyones fits are looking good. I'm only here as the 555XHSib thread is quiet.

              Ohhhhhh that constitutional stitching!

                I didn’t do any official measurements but had them hemmed long then did the soak and gentle wash then re hemmed as per Alex’s advice. I don’t think there was hardly any shrinking but had an interesting discussion today that US washing machines tend to run hotter. I’m very fortunate to live close to IHUK headquarters, 🥴

                Mind you after today I’ve asked them to ban me, I’m running out of organs [emoji51]

                    I was meant to be on a year long ban, but needed a pair of lightweight jeans for the summer as going to Texas… so I had to break the ban. So i'll be asking to be banned starting now.

                      They don't get lighter than 25oz! 😉

                        @Chad mac aaah, that explains it, you live close enough to have them hemmed after the soak.  Dang, if I lived close to them, I'd be so much deeper in debt…

                          Ha ha, not what I meant… the 25oz were meant to be my last and then I bought a pair of 14oz today. So it's not going to well.

                            I didn't soak first, but with just 1 day of wear, it's evident that I could have gotten away with sizing down one more size… though I did get the largest waist measurement for my size

                              @Chad mac asked to be banned from buying shit from us earlier today.  I graciously agreed, then showed hin the FW19 collection.  Ban revoked…...

                                I was going to ask too, but then I saw the flannels and the Indigo N1 and I said 'F' it.

                                  It is a way to see some F/W19 goodies, I guess.

                                      This denim is going to fade incredibly. I am amazed by how awesome these jeans are.

                                      It will be fun to see all the different fade pictures from these jeans.

                                        I feel like I should know the answer to this but these shouldn't shrink at all in the length after the first soak, right?  It's not like – and this is where I feel dumb -- the stacks that build behind the knees are going to shorten the inseam, right?  The stacks build because of excess inseam, right?

                                        I've only recently started hemming my denim to a length that's just perfect.  Before, I would hem them too long to account for any shrinkage with wear or wash, so losing half an inch wasn't a big deal.  So before I go and hem these to that perfect length, I just want to know if I should expect any more shortening of the inseam.

                                        Blanket-line all the things!!!

                                          After my second HOT wash and tumble in the drier, I got about 1.75 in the length of my 555 XHSib. Hope that helps.

                                            No issues with weird fading in the tumble drier?
