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

@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.

Really looking forward to these pants coming back instock!🫶

Ah! It makes sense then. I wondered why this one is sanforized but still have some room to shrink. Because most of my denim that is sanforized were still shrinking but to the point that people don’t need to highlight them. Thanks!

@aetherist @Tago-Mago or @goosehd will happily move your post in the correct thread.
fit looks good to me, how much room do you have in the waist? will shrink with the first wash, but will subsequently stretch out with wear, at least to where you are now. so if it feels too loose in the waist now, you might be able to size down. otherwise, keep it.

Thank you! For waist I still have around 0.5 - 1” left actually. I think it will be fine for the first soak then.

Another two months has passed since I asked last time haha! Sorry for the constant excitement, just too eager to know about these pants.

Still September-ish..?

Curious if there is any chance it will be available before Y5 indigo invitational starts?

September is what is listed on the PG schedule. I am sorry but we do not have more than that at this time. As soon as they are here and release date planned we will announce, we so hope we can tie that in with the II

Yeah, Stevie. Lucky enough to get myself a pair in Bangkok. They didn’t have it anywhere else, even the brand considered it as sold out on all over its distributor.

Have myself a couple of their article. Their fabric surely is having a massive potential for fading. But to be honest, nothing beats IH at this point.
