IH-555S-UHR - 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans
-
that cuff looks familiar @T4920
-
@T4920 toky cuff is always a winner
-
hey guys, sorry for the noob question and feel free to tell me to FOAD, but doing the intital soak/agitation wont affect the fade potential of these suckers, will it? thanks!
-
@darbycrash No it does not and is a necessary step. Edit (Here is the reasoning): The recommended method with UHR is to soak first, then wash. This because it is loomstate. The soak activates the cotton fibres and embeds the stitching, the wash gets the shrinkage out.
-
@goosehd cool thanks man just wanted to be sure
-
or they could just word the care instructions more specifically in regards to these (the care pamphlet i received only explicitly states this is necessary for the 25oz). i like having the ability to initially soak and wash them myself.
thats cute you think im a "dummy" for asking a question, isnt that a big reason the forum is here in the first place? this was a big investment for me and i plan to wear them for years, so i didnt want to make a jack move.

@darbycrash UHR is by far and away the quickest fading IH denim. A soak on loomstate denim is 100 times less aggressive than the industrial machine washing or sanforisation that most so called “raw denim” receives before it hits the shelves.

@darbycrash Thank you for asking your question and yes that is why we are here. Feel free to ask questions whenever you like because at one time we were all new here.

Kasi constantly leaves rude/negative comments all over this forum. Why have mods never stepped in? Such an unwarranted response…

Iron Heart has lay out the instruction.
Soak and Wash
But then they your jeans do what you like.
If worry about them you could always keep as they are by not wearing them.
...?
you aren't really making much sense at all. from the looks of it, you weren't able to comprehend my response (perhaps you should read it again, slower this time). i'd wager most would agree you may be taking the title of "dummy" here, little buddy.

nice, good to know. also, that's interesting, never thought to try and dig deeper on what industrial sanforization processes looked like really.
i dug up as much info as i could about the UHR's and the necessity of the inital soak before asking the fading question, but am a little OCD maybe, so just wanted to get verbatim answers to things i was wondering about before i got started that i couldn't find already discussed. i appreciate it.

The care guidelines that should have been included in your package are the same ones found here:
https://www.ironheart.co.uk/content/product-care-guidelinesHere is the paragraph about raw (UHR) denim:
Raw Denim (by "raw" we mean the fabric has not gone through any post-weave processing at all) -raw
denim is sometimes referred to as "loom-state".
Iron Heart raw fabrics are: 21/230z Ultra Heavy Raw (UHR).
• Soak inside-out for an hour or so in a bathtub or large sink of hot water and drip dry.
• Hand wash, or machine wash on a relatively short cycle (max 40°C/100°F) with low or no spin.
• Shake/stretch item to ensure no creases before drip drying or drying flat on a clothes rack
• Do not tumble dry (this is likely to cause shrinkage and White marks).There is a slim chance you got an old version of this set of care guidelines, and if that is the case I apologise. We update these somewhat frequently, and try to be diligent in removing old ones when we do, but a box may have slipped the cracks.

@kelton Thank you for your response and I apologize for not addressing this sooner. My rationale is that the current “ribbing” has primarily been between two members who understand each other and the intentions behind the posting and comments. However, I see that not everyone will understand that they are joking with each other and mean no harm.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that we have member guidelines that all of us should be following. One of our primary rules is to “not be overtly sarcastic or rude”. Those guidelines are found here: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/6491/member-guidelines
@Kasi I am going to give you an opportunity to publicly apologize for your tone in the posts in this thread and hope that we can all move on a little stronger than we were before.
Typically I like to praise in public and reprimand in private. However, I think this is an opportunity for all us to admit our errors, learn from them, and make it a learning/teaching experience.
Personal attacks will not be tolerated and in the future will be dealt with promptly.
