Carry on…...

Hello, I'm an Iron Heart newbie and just received my first pair of 634S-Bs.  I'm planning to get them hemmed today (at Self Edge in NYC), however wanted to be sure it's not necessary to soak them prior to having them hemmed.  Since they're sanforized I don't think it's necessary, but wanted to make sure.

Thanks for any help!

^^ Def not necessary to soak prior to hemming ski.  Like you said they're sanforized and overdyed too.  As G would say the overdying process over shrinks the denim.

And that is if he is being polite….

Thanks.  That's what I figured.

Very excited as they're my first pair of straight cut denim in years.  Everything else has been a tapered leg.  We'll see how skinny guys like myself do with these.  Excited to see the progression.

I just got these, they feel very nice on, seem a little extra higher in the waist and rommier in the waist than the indigo version. i know there essentially the same jean but thats how i find them. superb service from paula at iron heart im pleased with the fit now to try and post pics i failed miserably last time

Sorry, I tried to fix the links, but seem to have failed miserably, too.

this should work

[Chris]

What did you do, resize the images?

[Seul]

On Flickr you always have a choice of what size you want the pics to be… Then you just rightclick and copy the pic's addy...

^exactly

[Chris]

Ah, I just copied & pasted the direct link without picking a size.  Maybe I should re-read the thread on how to post pics.

[bigbelly]

time for a wash

[seanocono]

Looking forward to the post wash pics, RS. These jeans are incredibly underrated. My pair is just starting to show some evo. This one is truly a slow burner.

[JCar2666]

Post wash pics please RedStripe…..

[RedStripe]

indeed ;)… but got to wait til we get some sun here, as I want to replicate the same conditions the before pics were taken in

Tbh there didn't look like a lot of fading action had taken place when I looked at them in poor light, might be wrong though!

This was the second wash in about 7 months.
(By wash I mean alot of agitation with liquid washing soap in the bath, inside out)

^^Point taken sir.  I know we bought ours around the same time.  I'm still waiting til the 1 year mark on mine to give them their first wash.  Unfortunately I put them on the back burner due to the SEXIH13 I picked up a few months back.  Must get back to wearing these.
