Is these still “September-ish” ?

@aetherist. It will shrink up to an inch in the waist. Most get about 0.5 of an inch in shrinkage. It will also loose about 1 inch in the inseam. The waist will stretch out to pre soak measurements with wear. The inseam will not.

Thank you so much for your explanation. I will try to use it for the first 3-4 weeks and do a gentle warm soak later.

My recommendation is to hot soak them and get it out of the way. Having said that there are people that never soak them and just wear them. Looks like you have them hemmed. Did you take into account that you will probably loose 1 inch in the inseam?

Noted. I was planning to just wear then and soak/wash later. Maybe around month 6-8. But kinda worry that it will shrink in some areas and will make the fades area shifts a bit.

And yes. I hemmed them to get a single cuff look on my boots. Plus the tailor said they gave extra 1 inch for the shrinkage portion.

I wouldn't wait 6 to 8 months before they see water. You will get some shifting for sure. Just get it out of the way is my opinion

Agree with @yannis soak them thangs

Hahaha, yeap. Since this is my first IH, I didn’t know that even this one’s sanforized, it’s most likely not so much different with unsanforized from other brands.

What do you think about using it for 3-4 weeks then soak it after that?

@ZackB yeap. I’m going to soak it at the beginning. Thanks for the advice

[aetherist]

And is it okay if I ask for opinion in here regarding to my 666?

I bought this one online with slim chance to try on before. So I really don’t know which type is the best for me.
If it’s okay, I really need some opinion about is it the right cut for me or not, judging from the picture.

Haven’t soak it yet, and still have some room in all areas. I think hot soak will not harm the fit, right?
I have quite big thigh measurement, that’s why I chose the 666 cut

[yannis]

@aetherist. Most Iron Heart fabrics are sanforized and then washed in an industrial machine so almost all shrinkage has been removed. The XHS is sandorized but NOT washed so there is a small amount of shrinkage remaining and this is why we recommend to be soaked.
