        Alright, I need some help here. I’ve never owned IH jeans before and am utterly confused by the washing instructions. I’ve been wearing these for about a week, the waist was certainly tight but it’s starting to stretch out now. I haven’t soaked or washed these at all and wasn’t planning on it. Today I received an order from IH and my partner noticed the washing instructions booklet, apparently you are supposed to soak these before wearing? I remember reading in the online washing instructions that soaking is optional and not required for 25oz. I’m so confused.

        I’ve read about how on the UHR you need to soak them so the stitching sets, is that the case here? Help!

          @nrtphotos I soak all of my jeans inside out in the bathtub or laundry sink pre wash.  After the jeans have been thoroughly soaked, I then place them in a washing machine to clean.

          By doing this you minimize the chance of creating marbling or streaks on your jeans.

          It's a best approach method that most of us use.

            These are brand spanking new, worn less than a week so they definitely don’t need a wash. I’m more concerned about the stitching setting in and longevity. The booklet wording made it sound like you absolutely should, where the online post about washing said a soak was optional. That’s what I’m confused about.

              The die is cast. Carry on. I didn't soak mine and I have no regrets.

                @nrtphotos You are talking about two different denims and two different ways that they need to be treated.

                The UHR needs to be pre-soaked and washed in order to set the stitching to prolong the longevity…

                The XHS only needs to be pre-soaked prior to wash in order to prevent marbling.  I often have taken my XHS from the bag and worn them until dirty.  When it comes time to clean, the best way to prevent marbling and/or streaking is to pre soak inside out and then wash as normal.

                  Some strong cases here for not cuffing. Thinking about hemming my SBG now. Hmm…

                                      It was the first IH shirt I bought from eBay a while back. Still one of my favorites after buying 20+ more. The fabric is aging beautifully and the fit is spot on for my taste.
