@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.

Alright, I need some help here.
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…

The first days/steps in this denim! First time in a 888 and dig the relaxed overall fit!

@68degreesorless those look amazing! Too warm to wear mine but looking to give em a beating in the fall/winter
-
Thanks @atm23! They will accept your beating and grant you softness and beauty in return
-
Well done @68degreesorless and agreed with @atm23, they're looking awesome! Still trying to squeeze out some wears on my pair as California warms up.

When will these get a restock?

@Oaktavia the green in that tshirt is beautiful
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.
-
Aye, same here, need these…

UGH I am super bummed out about the paint on these jeans. I was painting all day Sunday and was super in the zone. I knew I had got some acrylic paint on my right knee, but woke up to a fuckton more than I realized was there. I then tried isopropyl alchohol and a rag, which fucked them up even more (even after knowing the risk involved). I also tried baking soda mixed with water and that didn't so shit but get the solution caked onto it. After a hose down, I am left with this. Totally bummed and feel I ruined them even more when I guess I couldn have just left them. I have been moping a lot about it. Anyone on here able to tell me I'm not a huge idiot and I should/could still wear them?
Edit: FWIW my wife thinks I'm wrong for caring about it. She's just happy I'm painting again. Tells me to own it and stop being a pu**y about it.
