@yannis awesome, thank you

@goosehd thanks for responding. This is my first unsanforized pair so probably overthinking it a bit but don’t want to ruin anything.

So before my first wear, I just soaked them in the tub with hot water for an hour and I agitated them a couple times by hand but not much. Then it was still a little loose so I repeated the same again. Now they are okay but not snug, a little loose if I pull the waist. Since then I’ve been wearing them frequently for a couple weeks.

I want to throw them in the wash now but I’m just hesitating because I’ve already worn them like 10-15 times, so I don’t know if there will be any weird consequences from washing them now since most of the advice here is to soak them and wash them before the first wear.

If I wash them now (after the initial soak and 15 or so wears), would I be ruining some of the fade potential, get any marbling or any weird stuff like that? Probably a newb question but I have no idea how this works.

Hey all, looking for quick advice.

Got an IH-634S-UHR in 36 (my actual waist is 37). Did two hot soaks, minimal shrinkage on the second. Worn them 10-15 times now.

Waist is still a bit loose. Thigh and seat fit perfect.
Wondering if I should do a 40° machine wash now to try to get a little more shrinkage, or is it too late to matter?

Main worry: if I wait until month 3-6 for the first wash and it shrinks then, won’t that shift the fades I’ve started?

Thanks
