I wouldn’t worry too much about wearing them for soaking unless that’s something you’re excited about. A quick cold soak in the tub to remove the starch and excess indigo then aor dry outside for a bit and you’ll be squared away. They’ll likely tighten up after the soak but will go back to where you have them now quickly.

@Matt just for clarification, it shrinks when it gets wet right. So i was thinking if i wore it in the tub it would shrink to fit. Im hoping once i take it off wet it wont shrink too much further? Is that logical? Ive seen people on youtube soak for 45 to 1 hour. Is that not necessarily needed?

@cyclops The waist will stretch back out to where it started very quickly, and then some, even if you wash them hot in my experince.

@cyclops. Yes they shrink with water, but the temperature of the water matters alot. Doing what @Matt suggested soaking them in cold water will yield very little shrinkage if any and they will go right back where they are now within an hour of wear. Wearing them while soaking is a pain in the arse and unnecessary unless you really like the experience.

Ok thanks heaps all! Really appreciate the feedback and support!
Edit: soaked it today! Dried it and everything buttons up! You guys were right, no need to do the getting in the tub thing! Once again thanks everyone for your input
