      @indigo_nico yes: I always wear them raw for a few weeks and will them wash them for the first time. @Giles will say you need to soak them before wearing to avoid damage to the constructional stitching as the coarse fabric can cut the stitches which need to bed in. Personally, I have never had the problem.

          I’ve worn these for about 40 days. Washed after 30.

              @Oaktavia I will. I want to give them another 20 days for a total of 60 days, maybe just depends how dirty they get. Its drywall mud so it washes out pretty easy.

                @jmj Wow! I’ve been afraid to get paint on my pants by wearing them to work. But this may be the picture I need to get me over my fears!

                Very cool to see these jeans being used to the most of their ability

                  I did my initial soak today. How long are you guys doing the 2nd wash for? Are you doing it hot? I might have to hand-agitate as I don't really have access to a washing machine that I trust right now unfortunately.

                    @jackdc100 After doing an initial soak in the bath I washed mine, inside out:

                    • 30c
                    • 600rpm
                    • 30mins

                    They were quite tight after this but loosened up pretty quickly. This was then my standard wash cycle each time they needed one

                    The devil is in the detail..

                        @jackdc100 I’ve never put mine in the washer and had them for years. Just tub soak and hang dry when needed. I did do an initial hot soak with as much agitation as I could get around to while doing other chores.

                                      @Oaktavia Rough estimate of 60. I’m planning on wearing them another 14 to 20 days and wash them again.

                                        Does the shrinkage on the 21/23 oz stretch back to how you bought them or should you buy to take into account the sizing after the initial soak? eg a 32” waist will shrink buy 1” after initial soak - should I buy 32” or 31”? Thanks

                                          @Gavin666 They'll stretch back to where they were before, at least in the waist (not in inseam).

                                            If you look under the details tab you will find most if not all the information you’re looking for:
