Thanks to all for the kind words…....

In debate to soak or not.

do it…

Looking Good Cris! This shirt was made for you… Since it raw, better to soak it.. It wont shrink much if you just soak with warm water without agitation. At least thats what i encounter with my 27 so far.. Just dont put it in machine wash, agitation tends to shrink the fabric..

Thanks Abdul…...and if anything, I'll probably lay it in my tub and soak it in cold-to-warm water for a little time.

I say soak…it's not really feasible (in my opinion) for a piece of clothing to never touch water.

[crisone]

Thanks for the input all, I'll give it a soak today….......

Any advantages to not soaking this shirt before wearing it for awhile?  Of course it's gonna happen eventually, but would waiting and wearing it raw have any advantages? Seems as if the general thoughts so far have been to soak first but I am just curious as to why.

No, soak the fecker

[madmonday]

soak gets the shrinkage out & gets the denim to relax a bit & mold to you  body a bit better.  it also probably helps to not pop the freckin' lovely sew job done on this.

of course no technical knowledge just from hanging around the rest of these denim quality freaks

i want to love this shirt but something about it doesn't work when i put it on.

never the less a dope shirt & the usual Iron Heart over the top attention to detail & such

My concern as well…....but will soak mine before wear.

Any thoughts on water temp so it won't shrink much??  As of now, it's perfect on me, pre-soak.

Thanks,

Cris.
