      Good afternoon. Will soaking make the fabric softer? I understand the starch will be washed out of the fabric?

      I soaked mine once and I don't think they got any softer. Became softer after 2 months of wearing 5 days a week.

          Forum users tell me please, will soaking help? The new 888s in the top block are too loose. Both sides and front. You can see it in the photo above.

          After soaking, the upper block will sit down a little and the landing will be slimmer

            When I got mine, I warm soaked them and the top block tightened up a bit. But by the looks of yoirs you wouldn’t get enough shrinkage to make them fit as well as they should.
            Also, if a size down feels a bit too tight in then waist, remember it will stretch out with some wear. I had to suck in my stomach the first week of wear in mine. They stretched perfectly and fit me amazing now.

              Hello everyone from Togliatti! Yesterday I soaked the monster for 3 hours) And by the way, a lot of indigo came out of this pair. Other jeans didn't give off paint like that. I put them on in the morning. As the forum member said above, the upper block has become smaller. The jeans themselves have become softer. Almost no reduction in length. Sat in the belt from 49 cm to 47 cm.

                Now they need to be run in. Wear them more often, do your own business and do not pay attention to them. Natural creases will appear and they will look cool.

                            We have a fever. +30. 25 oz is not an easy test) But at the same time, jeans give a feeling of armor and security.

                                  By the way guys, no one has come across such a phenomenon? Left front pocket. The one with the watch pocket. It is tighter for the palm. I already heard about it from another denimhead

                                    I’ve never noticed one pocket tighter than the other. Suppose it’s possible for the one with the coin/ watch pocket to have a bit more fabric and feel tighter at first. Everything is so rigid at first though haha. Wear em a lot and you’ll be surprised at how quickly they become soft and comfy.

                                        @Mizmazzle i can relate! I didn’t feel a difference as well.. doesn’t mean it isn’t there but maybe it’s so minimal that i don’t feel it. If you think it’s a huge difference i would shoot the guys at IHUK a message. If i may be so free to say that.

                                            @Heavy_blue ha. That actually came from a typo. I meant to write “take the drive” once and @endo i think spotted it. But it suited how I ended up falling headfirst into IH fandom, so I adopted it from myself. 😉
