The forum has what you need.
http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=34.0Fussed: Hand wash cold/warm, but not hot. Stir the water periodically for agitation. Drain container and rinse until water appears unsoapy. Hang to drip dry.
Unfussed: Machine wash on gentler settings ane either disable the spin cycle or monitor and remove before the spin. Hang to drip dry.
To get max shrinkage back to an acceptable waist, use hotter water and machine dry. I'd use Woolite Dark, Dr. Bronners, or similarly soapy stuff.

Yeah i have been weird about dry denim period… first i was freakin about sizing, then hemming, then giving a soak, and now washing... haha once i actually successfully give a pair a wash in one way or another i won't stress anymore. That's the final piece of the process in my eyes i suppose? I know they're "just jeans" but so are levis/wranglers/etc and i beat the shit out of those and don't care. I just care a bit more about these i guess

Just ordered a pair of IH-634s and this will be my first pair of real jeans. I have been wearing raw 501s and I am hoping to find something that lasts a bit longer.
I seem to have found some conflicting information on here regarding indigo bleed from these jeans. Some say that these have bled a ton and some say that they don't bleed too badly at all. I am not afraid of a little indigo stain but would sort of like to know what to expect. I plan to wear the jeans cuffed.
Would an initial cold soak (in vinegar?) make any difference?

i haven't noticed a lot of bleeding in mine.
