Sorry man, should've been more specific.  The warm/cold is for all subsequent washes following the initial hot wash.

Ok, I see. So, to confirm: Because my two initial hot soaks did not get out much shrinkage, I should now use a washing machine to get out the remainder of the shrinkage. To do so, turn the jeans inside out, wash hot, with detergent, and with moderate agitation. No spin cycle. Then drip dry, or dry flat. Subsequent washes should follow the same instructions except that the water temperature should be warm or cold rather than hot.

Sound right?

I do 40 degrees celsius machine wash including spin (600-1000 rpm) (our machines automatically spin) for my unsanforised and all other pants, inside out no detergent. Line dry. But thats my way of doing it

And some Instructions provided by Paula

Thanks for the tips. Giles talks about using detergent as a "lubricant" to relax (i.e. shrink) the fabric. I might include it in the wash.

Davito's way sounds like my way, too.

Davito's and Chris's way sounds like my way, too.

i  washed my 17oz sanforized full agitation, full spin. came out fine. but that was two months ago so there nice and settled back in. dont plan on washing again for months

[Giles]

You will get more shrinkage if you use a lubricant (like washing up liquid).  You will get little to no more indigo loss if you wash them inside out.

@Spring:

Any updates on when the restock for these will be hitting the proverbial shelves?

About 10 days.

Will the new run have 38.5" inseam?

[Giles]

Until I get them in my sweaties, I do not know….

[Spring Son of Light]

Did previous batches have shorter inseams?
