Did a warm soak for 1.5 hrs and wore it wet/damp for an hour walk with the dog. I thought it fit good before, now this bad boy fits like a glove. Only gets better from here on out. Thanks for the guidance here peeps. Much appreciated.

Wanted to pull some guidance from the hive mind. Just picked up a 19oz lefty twill….query before wear: To Soak Hot/cold or let this bad boy break me physically/emotionally and just wear it straight out of the box?

Fits pretty good with out soak and the stiffness doesn’t seem to be unmanageable. Although this is a 36 hours observation.

Is there an option that is more conducive to better fades or longevity?

Any pictures of leg twist examples out there?

@goosehd that is an excellent call! Makes sense.

@Kasi is it better to “set creases” early on in the wear? Or can this be accomplished just by putting a lot of wear into the piece? Are the creases different soak vs non soak in the first 90 days?

@Mizmazzle it definitely has room to shrink. So not concerned about the fit not working after a hot or cold soak. Other than the fit being more formed to the body after a soak, is there any primary reason to soak before hand?

Heard a lot of “set the creases” but not sure if this can be done just by wear, or is it a better to “set creases” super early on with a soak
