      I keep my washing of jeans very straight forward.

      1. Turn the jean inside out
      2. Presoak the jeans in a sink or tub and get them nice and saturated
      3. Wash on a regular cycle with cool or cold water (Same detergent and everything as I wash anything else)
      4. after cycle turn right side out and hang to dry, smoothing any creases
      5. wear again when dry

      The only time I really stray from this cycle is I may put off doing an initial wash if the jeans are brand new, or if I want to get some real creases and such set in. Also, sometimes I find if I had to do a wash after only a handful of times wearing beforehand, I may do everything listed above, but then put them on and wear around when they are about 75% dry, just to set the creases a bit more.

      Wants List:
      IHSH-20-Red, XL
      IHSH-208-Indigo Kersey, L-XL
      IHSH-254-Grey Kersey, L-XL
      IHSW-45 Black, M
      IH-526SV 21oz type III, 38 or 40
      IH-777S-SB size 32
      IH-777S-142 size 31 or 32
      IHJ-142-BLK or IND, M

        @nurlank they've been hand washed a few times in the tub, I don't tend to machine wash jeans because I've ended up with lines on them before but instead just a warm soak in the tub and like Giles said, when they are dirty. The first like six months of these jeans they didn't really leave the house because COVID so they had a good stretch without seeing water but I've probably warm soaked them five or six times now. Just did a good thorough washing in the tub as I sent them in for repairs just before Christmas!

        I would have to assume the reason the fading in some spots is so pronounced is because we walk a lot, like 20-25km every Sunday and then at least 10,000 steps a day during the week, rain or shine, so all my jeans seem to end up with nice fading behind the knees and on the front of my hips!

          Thank you guys so much.
          I'll probably take a risk - presoak them and wash them on a regular cycle

                  I wear my pair for only my daily 2 to 3-hour evening walks and grocery shopping trips. Around 15-20 hours per week. My estimate is that the net wear time is around 3-4 months.
                  Gave it a tub wash. Tons of indigo dye went off. The color changed drastically. Fades are becoming 3D: whiskers, honeycombs... even the front pocket bags' fades started protruding from the inside.
                  The fabric became more dense and thicker. As overall I am happy with the result and going to wash it more frequently, probably once a month.
                  P.S. Decided also to have some fun. I don't have a leather conditioner. Just of curiosity I applied a thick 1-mm layer of unsalted butter onto the leather patch in the evening. In the morning the whole layer disappeared, not even oily residues. The leather patch ate it all

                    @nurlank I think using butter will make it go rancid and start to stink…

                                Hey guys!

                                I'm now a proud owner of an IH-777S-21 and it's simply the best jeans I've ever had in my life. Cut, shape and fabric is amazing and fits perfectly to me.

                                Unfortunately I have an issue: from the first day of wearing I got some lined stains at the edge of the cuff:

                                20250114_143107.jpg

                                As recommended I soaked them before first wearing for 15 min in my bathtub. I'm not a great expert since it's only my third selvedge jeans yet. But never experienced this with my other jeans before.

                                Is this normal for this fabric? Does it disappear with wearing and washing? Or what can I do to prevent this?

                                Thanks for your help!

                                      @Domi Nothing to worry about. with some weartime, washings and more fading it won't be that visible anymore. Congrats, perfect choice to start with 21 oz into the world of IH denim!

                                        Loving the new sizing on these. Near spot on. Only thing I would wish for in future releases for jeans is a longer leg. 37”. I am 33” inside leg but can only cuff these with a small single cuff and same with my 666 pair.

                                            Just love the 21oz denim - cut wise these 777 now feel quite tight after spending more time in 634.
