Hello Iron Heart family question when doing the initial 1st soak before wearing them should I use hot or warm water??

[Salted Racer]

either is fine IMO...try them on, if they are really snug maybe just soak cold first and see how the fit changes, then soak warm or hot. The hotter the water the more potential shrink you will get.

@Denimhead-0 dude! Looking forward to mine too, I chose them to be hemmed. Probably adds a few days

@Denimhead-0 Guess you liked the 14ib a lot so you went for the 25ib as well. Can't blame you amazing fit on both.

Just put em in for a first soak after two heavy duty workshop day wears. First time ever soaking denim even, lol.

As always, I did not bother to measure

@Tago-Mago forgot to measure as well

I feel like they lost half inch on length which is good since they were Unhemmed.

After wearing a couple times, did the first soak in mildly warm water. Inside out and no agitation. Did the towel roll dry to get excess water out and hung dry. Didn’t expect to see fade lines after that first soak. Guess I have a lot to learn.

[Denimhead 0]

@Workwear I had some white lines too, did a light wipe with an old wet towel, very lightly.

[Workwear]

Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a try

@Denimhead-0 out of curiosity how tall are you? Super clean look considering you’ve only single cuffed them and they are unhemmed!

[Denimhead 0]

@hjl360 6’2” mostly in the legs. 35” inseam
