I need to give these a wash before I send them to Railcar.

Whats peoples recommendations for washing these?

I think I've read somewhere about wearing them in the shower prior to sticking them in the machine.

^ To avoid ugly and possibly permanent crease marks, I would soak them inside out with the shower head then wash @40C on an 800 spin cycle. After the first wash they soften enough that you don't have to do this.

[bryaneidins70]

Great stuff @neph93, Thank you.

@bryaneidins I wash mine inside out on "quick-wash" cold, medium spin, pull them out right away, smooth out the wrinkles and air dry - same as my denim.

[bryaneidins70]

Thanks @Bluegrass. Thats exactly what I did but on a 30 wash.

I soaked mine twice before they saw a machine. Even still I wash gentle, no spin.

[Bluegrass]

and you also wear yours like they owe you money!!    looks fantastic.

[jdl1279]

Ha thanks! They're just a great pair of pants that beg to be worn hard

Quick pics while they dry

[jdl1279]

Dry and ready to go

How's the crotch holding up in those?

[jdl1279]

I'm gonna have a blowout, but not likely soon. Some broken threads on and around the seam

[neph93]

Nice. All my jeans that have that amount of wear have had the crotch repaired at least once. First thing to go, always. Fat ass problems 

[jdl1279]

Yeah crotch blowout isn't a huge issue for me. I burn up the thighs and pockets first

Looking great. Trashing a pair of ducks is an underrated experience imho.

I’ve worn through the pocket taping. Bummer.

I've done that with every pair of IH I've ever had, and it doesn't really take that long- it was the first wear to show on my ducks.  A few of my older pairs- my 634s and 634V- don't have taped pockets at all, and I've managed to completely destroy the pockets.  Maybe I have sandpaper knuckles.
