@goosehd I saw that, got it. So if I’m reading between the lines correctly— Skip the wearing while soaking, just hot soak then toss in the washer for the agitation.

Trying to wrap my head around best practices for the initial shrink with these.

Is it best to hot soak and then toss in the washer (inside out)? Or is a soak with hand agitation sufficient?

Also, I’ve seen mention of wearing them to STF. Some neutral opinions on it, some advice to do it if there is concern about shrinking, and some advice not to do it due to it being unnecessary/a hassle and causing knee bags from wearing while wet - is there a consensus?
