They look good @Marc2706
I ended putting these through a 90 degree hot wash with no soap to get the max shrinkage I could out of them. No measurements because I’m lazy and it reminds me of work.
I’m quite pleased with the results.

Nice Roping starting

I’ve also go one of these to look after.

Sweet log

@Gammaman Wow very hot wash, results look great. Have been also thinking of trying. Did you put other stuff as well at the same time to prevent marbling? Did you feel denim also got softer due to such a hot wash?

Not the best image. Will be trying to go climbing in my Y5 pair at least once a week. Kinda into it too, because it’s saving my knees from getting scraped. Gonna keep it up! Really enjoying this so far, and love seeing all the updates here and from the II instagram page.

@worn2fade this fade log looks very cool!

After wearing 634S-21 as a bridge pair, I feel like I'm missing something every day since I'm wearing a pair made by a different company for IIY5. Trying to make up for it by wearing an IH top every day to make myself feel better You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone. Time to start prepping for the Redline Rally!

@indigo_fades I feel exactly the same way. Just gotta make sure to wear something iron heart for the rally.

Exactly! I need a reason to buy something new anyways. eBay scrolling gets so old after a while.

I took the excess fabric after I had my Speedways hemmed and used them to make patches for my old denim chore coat from Scout Seattle. I washed the fabric at 40 degrees to get any shrink out for the patches but I only gave my pants a cold soak and rinse in the tub. The patch felt softer and already has a more matte appearance with some blue peaking through. It will be fun to see how they fade differently over the next year.

@moskiitto
I washed them on their own with no soap I did suffer some small areas of marbling but it’s in places where it will fade.
