@Filthy:
Shocked and pleasantly surprised at how fast these are fading. Faster than any Iron Heart pair I have ever had.

I only ever sent my jeans to be hemmed by Rain at www.indigoproof.com never used a tailor so to speak.

Rain is a miracle worker! Her turn around time is longer due to it only being her, but it's soooooooo worth the wait!

This is the first pair of jeans I've owned that are not cuffed. The hems were just an RCH too big… But since that double boiling soak dry cycle they are not dragging on the ground any longer. I am most pleased with every aspect of these jeans. From the denim to the construction and materials, to the PERFECT cut. They are a 10/10.
-
I love how these stacked too, and you can see how these things hemmorage the indigo.
-
I'm so pleased that the majority seem to like the cut, and that it looks great on everyone

I was more speaking to actual repairs, not hems. Her hemming is crazy quick.
-
Hemming is relatively quick and easy, which is probably why she continues to take jeans for hemming. Repairs are more complex and take more time, and there, her backlog is pretty long- I sent jeans to her in August and they aren't done yet.
I'm not complaining, mind you, she does impeccable work and I have more than enough other jeans to wear.

Yep. Every time I see a picture of a pair she darned I can't believe how seamless (heh) the repair is.

Right. I couldn’t remember the name and my search yielded broad results. Thanks man
How’s her turn around time on hemming?
-
Thank you sir.

Rainy and cold in Grand Rapids, Michigan today. Here’s a “fit” pic of the 888-NTs on me.
-
I had this feeling that I hadn't gotten all the shrink out of my pair…
So I buckled up and gave them a 60deg wash w/o spin. Now the fit is amazing and I definitely got more shrink out of the back rise, thighs and waist.
Downsides are a bit more marbling throughout the thigh and my inseam lost another inch to the point where I can only do a tiny tiny cuff without going high water.
The denim feels much more dense now though and the creases are much sharper than before the hot wash.
Won't be touching water for a while now I don't think, I definitely can't shrink them more...
-
Great… 6 days into the DWC with my 888 NTs, and my 5 month old daughter puked all over them. Washing them this early won't really ruin the fading, will it? I'd rather not wear jeans that smell like putrid milk vomit.

You’ll be fine. It’s like a additional presoak.

@jmg65coupe302 Matty speaks the truth. Either hand wash or repeat the soak/machine wash process with little or no spin. Lots of folks soak and wash a few times to remove absolutely all the shrinkage. No fading worries necessary.
