I say soak…it's not really feasible (in my opinion) for a piece of clothing to never touch water.

Thanks for the input all, I'll give it a soak today….......

Any advantages to not soaking this shirt before wearing it for awhile?  Of course it's gonna happen eventually, but would waiting and wearing it raw have any advantages? Seems as if the general thoughts so far have been to soak first but I am just curious as to why.

[Giles]

No, soak the fecker

[madmonday]

soak gets the shrinkage out & gets the denim to relax a bit & mold to you  body a bit better.  it also probably helps to not pop the freckin' lovely sew job done on this.

of course no technical knowledge just from hanging around the rest of these denim quality freaks

My concern as well…....but will soak mine before wear.

Any thoughts on water temp so it won't shrink much??  As of now, it's perfect on me, pre-soak.

Thanks,

Cris.

Did you buy it or just try one on?

[Giles]

Both, I'm getting it back…..

[madmonday]

i borrowed one & tried it on but it wasn't right on me.

it might of had something to do with it coming when those blasted fh annie's came into my home & upset my beautiful & perfect just the way she is wife & the damn tags on the jeans were all wrong saying 28. . .

(i whistle & look around while describing fh annie's)

Soaked for about 15-20 min in semi cold-warm water yesterday, checked this morning and almost dry, so it should get some wear very soon….fit pics when the time comes.

[Giles]
