IH-666S - The Devil's Fit Indigo - Slim Tapered

[crankyfart]

for the initial first soak, do we turn the jeans inside out or what? and whats the recommended temperature? 60 degrees? 90 degrees? aftermath drip dry them? will wear it while its damp least i can't fit when its totally dry. so excited to wear it now! 

[Giles]

Does not need to be inside out, and if you want to minimise shrinkage, do not make the water too hot…./

thanks alot! we'll discuss in email with regards to my 634S? thanks alot Giles, i am very very very satisfied and happy with the 666S. You made my day! Didn't start my day good with a bleeding throat but now I feel like I can kill a tiger. HAHA!

after soaking, the denim still feels stiff. isit cos I took it out too soon? soaked for about an hour? expected something like a normal cloth denim but it's still stiffs. is this right or I've done it all wrong?

[Sugar Mountain]

No, the denim should be reasonably stiff - it's new raw denim. They'll soften up with wear (lots of it) and you can set your creases in the meantime.

[DougNg]

It's normal. It won't soften up until a few months of wear

I have a pair of SEXIH07's that still stand up after a couple years of wear and multiple washes

[crankyfart]

alright. pray hard it'll wear out ASAP. the journey starts tomorrow!

[Sugar Mountain]

No need to rush. Just enjoy the ride and your jeans will reflect whatever comes your way.

[crankyfart]

yeah sure. anyway wanna check, after drip dry, the jeans are kinda crumpled, do we iron them or just wear it? I'm lost.

[Giles]

Wear them….

[injunjack]

whatever suits you….next time you soak/wash them straighten them when they are still wet/damp.

[hajduk]

wear them! take a beer! a camel filter! a vichy-fraise! go for a ballade! BUT RELAX&WEAR:)

[crankyfart]

no need to iron? you sure Giles? hmm I already did my best straightening them while it was dripping.

[Giles]

Ironing them, won't harm them.  So it is up to you.  G

[crankyfart]

alright thanks. now I just hope they'll fit when dry. as for the length, I definitely gotta alter. ain't blessed vertically but only horizontally.

[DougNg]

The weird wrinkles will eventually relax out

However, you can wind up with tough creases after you iron that will cause a weird line fade sometimes

Just wear them, don't overthink it. You can potentially screw something up if you futz with it

I'm trying to think of something great to say about "blessed vertically" but I'm drawing a blank…

[Seul]

You and me both, Matt…

[crankyfart]

hahaha don't try to think mate. it's true that most Asians aren't blessed vertically. I'm 173cm, average height for an Asian. wearing jeans without hemming is impossible for us. we look like dwarfs beside Caucasian. LOL!

when I go drinking in Australia, I still get my ID checked even when I'm 21 turning 22. in sg, I seldom get checked. not even when I go sg pool or get cigs.

[crankyfart]

anyway do you guys wear it slightly damp or when its totally dry? let the jeans drip dry overnight but its still damp. now im leaving it to sun tan under the hot sun. hopefully i can start wearing it in an hour.
