IH-634S - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

@goosehd will do! Thank you

Just grabbed my first pari off 634 in the 21 oz fabric. Being a bit long, I'll definitely need to hem. How much will these shrink in length after the first cold wash or soak? I would prefer to hem sooner than later, but don't want to run into the problem of them being too short after a wash. got the size 34/34. Suggestions?
-
I'm thinking of giving them a warm soak after my first wear, to eliminate the shrinkage, then get them hemmed so the fades wear into the proper locations. I don't want honey combs developing in the wrong spots once they shrink slightly and start to crease in new locations.

@Edward42 a warm soak alone will not shrink the jeans, you also need agitation, as described here by Giles. And as he mentioned just above me, they have been washed already, so no more shrinkage
If you return them to IHUK for hemming your best course of action is to email them at shop@ironheart.co.uk and they will get you sorted

@Edward42 the IH-634S - 21oz. Indigo is sanforized & one-washed, so there is negligible to no shrinkage remaining, as long as you wash them 30 degrees Celsius with low or no spin, and hang dry, there shouldn’t be any shrinkage. No need to soak/wash before hemming.

@Giles @Tago-Mago You guys are so quick, you both answered twice while I was still typing

Thanks for the beta. I was assuming but needed the extra nudge to hem pre-home wash as I strongly dislike owning expensive denim that is too short.
I own an lIH 295 denim shirt that definitely didn't shrink more than 2 mm, so that gives me some confidence.
