Looking great man. mine are coming Monday(hopefully before I leave for work). Side note we got pretty much the same area rug in my living room, which is also hella close to SF self edges rug. “Really ties the room together”

Hi everyone — curious how most of you approach these.
Do you prefer wearing them for a bit first to let the creases set before the first wash, or do you start with an initial wash and then wear?

@Damocles soak and wash then wear to remove shrink and ensure creases stay put thereafter.

^ this is exactly my plan

[Damocles]

Wash in 30 or 40 degrees?

@Mizmazzle when are yours supposed to be there?

[Mizmazzle]

@Damocles I plan to soak and wash cold. That’s how I always wash so kind of how I start it out too. But you could go for a warm wash out the gate too. Dealers choice.

@ZackB waiting on a repair to finish up on some 888 XHS then both will be headed home. Not sure exactly when yet tho…

@Damocles I do as hot as my water gets 40+ maybe. This is to ensure all the shrink is removed from the get go.

Anyone know of any vendors worldwide that got some of these beautiful jeans this run? Going through the stockists… I see ISP got them but mostly sold out

@Damocles Wash first so your fades don't shift after shrinkage. Let them dry a while, but put them on while they are still damp and let them finish drying while you wear them. That will set the creases in place.

Obviously, wet denim releases way more indigo than dry, so doing this will also jump start the fades. This is also why you get marbling and odd fade lines in denim when machine washing without turning them inside out. Any abrasion while they are wet will result in fades. Wearing them damp just puts those fades in the places most of us enjoy.
