I am now giving them the first try on - to @Denimhead-0 's point - how do you even do the buttons!? I have done 2 and that will do for today!!!

A little button hole TLC with a pair of needle nose pliers is my method.

Curious on the initial soak and wash instructions found here: https://ironheart.co.uk/pages/product-care-guidlines

Why do the instructions call for drip drying your UHR after the initial soak and then washing? Why not soak and then straight to washing without first drying? I assume there's reasoning behind this but I'm too dense to pick up on it.

@Pointman I throw them straight in out of the soak to no detriment.

@will6er as odd as it seems the best thing I have found for "adjusting" the button holes is a ring sizer wand.

@dirtyframer drum sticks work as well…

[dirtyframer]

@goosehd I never thought of those!! My middle son has drum sticks laying around every nook in the house

To loosen up the button holes I've always just used the cap end of a Sharpie marker and wiggle it around. Has worked perfectly for me.

Thanks all- I am in the game with working buttons. I reckon 9 hours of wear and can do the fly, its softish and can see slight honeycombs.... They are too small for me but I knew that and I WILL break them.

Trying to summon the courage to put on my new magic standing denim. It’s 95F and only 53% humidity out today. I expect Iron Heart to cover the cost of a custom denim coffin.

Hi guys. I got mine through the process of soaking and the first wash. I was wondering do you guys start wearing the jeans while they are still damp or should I let it dry out completely?

@bob_z I wait til they are fully dry to avoid “knee pockets” or “knee bags”.
