Hi thanks,  first handwash at about 6 months but not really remember,  they have 3 handwash for 1 year Dont worry for fades you can wash them ,iron heart jeans have so much indigo [emoji6]

Cheers. Gave them a soak in the bath tonight with some Woolite. Surprised how little indigo loss there was in the water, so hopefully all good for more fade evo [emoji3]. Looks like they have shrunk a fair bit in the waist and thigh so gonna have a painful few weeks stretching them back out

They look amazing! When did you give them their first soak/handwash?  I am breaking in my first pair of IH (the 555n).  I have had them for about 18 months but only worn them evenings and weekends so in reality probably equates to 6 - 7 months of continual wear.  Starting to get some bleed in the expected places and would like to give them a soak but am worried once I do this that the fades will stop developing.  Also, could do with getting them hemmed but want to wait until after 1st soak in case of any shrinkage in the leg length. Any advice to a newbie would be much appreciated.

About 1 year but probably 8 months of real wear and 4 handwashes
