IH-634-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo/Black
-
I'm curious as to whether anyone can report on washing these in a top-loading machine on a gentle cycle including spin. I've never had to "baby" a pair of jeans before. Never had any issues washing 21oz on a regular wash with a regular high-speed spin. I don't want to get nasty streaks, but I'm also a little puzzled as to why the extra 4 ounces means these suddenly have to be handled with kid gloves.
Hoping a gentle cycle with its associated spin would be OK. Any real-world testimonials, though?!

@nurunuru Inside out ftw?
I'd wash 'em inside-out for sure. It's just reading through this thread a coupla months back left me with the impression that a too-aggressive spin cycle can magically turn these ugly.

I just washed my regular 25oz in a top loading machine. Delicate cycle, cold water, inside out and I took them out before the spin cycle started. My washer does not have a no spin option.
Make sure to hang dry & you’ll be fine!

@nurunuru I've had a pair of 21oz ib marble due to washing and not soaking them pre-wash, only ever happens to me with black pairs so I imagine XHSib would be no different, just make sure to pull them out once the cycle is done and don't leave them sitting all soaked and bunched up or you could get wavy too...

Same boat, I got a top loader without a no spin option. I just have to be within ear shot so I know when the washer starts spooling up

@Subprime that’s literally been me the last 2 days washing my XHS & 293 hahahah

Great point dude. Completely forgot to mention to pre-soak. I presoak my denim in soapy water for 30 minutes prior to the wash @nurunuru!

Thanks, everyone. Still no reports of anyone merrily using a spin cycle with no ill effect, I see
-
@nurunuru I've done it with indigo jeans, 21oz IH... But I wouldn't chance it with anything black
-
@nurunuru I haven't done it with this particular pair, but no problems with using a delicate cycle with a low spin on my 14oz indigo/black or my 21 indigo. I do soak first though. My 777S-21 have even seen a dryer once or twice

@FlavourFade looking good home boy!!
-
@Mizmazzle very close to a wash the next days or weeks
-
@FlavourFade normally I go for long distances between washes with my jeans. Especially when they are new. High contrast fades and all. Thinking I’m just going to wash these more regularly. See how they come out. I saw a pic much earlier in this thread of a pair that was washed consistently. Really like how they looked.
-
@Mizmazzle I totally get that and always plan to not wash before these magic 6 months... But due to my line of work, the dog and being unable to eat like a normal person I rarely make it to 100 days haha
