IH-634S-UHR - 21/23oz Raw Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

I did my initial soak today. How long are you guys doing the 2nd wash for? Are you doing it hot? I might have to hand-agitate as I don't really have access to a washing machine that I trust right now unfortunately.

@jackdc100 After doing an initial soak in the bath I washed mine, inside out:

• 30c
• 600rpm
• 30mins

They were quite tight after this but loosened up pretty quickly. This was then my standard wash cycle each time they needed one

@jackdc100 I’ve never put mine in the washer and had them for years. Just tub soak and hang dry when needed. I did do an initial hot soak with as much agitation as I could get around to while doing other chores.

First UHR and first 634 - loving both the denim and the cut!

@bobbychacha they look great especially with that UHF.

[bobbychacha]

@Oaktavia thanks brother! I think everything looks good with that UHF - IMO it’s one of the best!

Roughly about 20 more wears. B


Before and after wash

@jmj looking good man, at around 60 wears now?

[jmj]

@Oaktavia Rough estimate of 60. I’m planning on wearing them another 14 to 20 days and wash them again.

Does the shrinkage on the 21/23 oz stretch back to how you bought them or should you buy to take into account the sizing after the initial soak? eg a 32” waist will shrink buy 1” after initial soak - should I buy 32” or 31”? Thanks

@Gavin666 They'll stretch back to where they were before, at least in the waist (not in inseam).

@Gavin666 Here is the information regarding shrinkage on the product page: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/IH-634S-UHR.html

If you look under the details tab you will find most if not all the information you’re looking for:

Thank you @tody for helping and excellent advice.
