1 soak 1 very light machine wash, hemmed by IH Crew, very little shrinkage, super happy with the fit. The denim is amazing. Thanks to all the Ironheart crew for their patience and great customer service. I am a very happy boy [emoji41][emoji106] even the buttons are ok now [emoji3062]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That shirt… seriously the one that got away! Anyways, everyones fits are looking good. I'm only here as the 555XHSib thread is quiet.

Great fit, Chad! Dang, you were right on target with the hemming. I didn't have them hemmed because I had no idea how much they'd shrink with a bath. Did yours shrink at all in the inseam?
I didn’t do any official measurements but had them hemmed long then did the soak and gentle wash then re hemmed as per Alex’s advice. I don’t think there was hardly any shrinking but had an interesting discussion today that US washing machines tend to run hotter. I’m very fortunate to live close to IHUK headquarters, 🥴
Mind you after today I’ve asked them to ban me, I’m running out of organs [emoji51]

I was meant to be on a year long ban, but needed a pair of lightweight jeans for the summer as going to Texas… so I had to break the ban. So i'll be asking to be banned starting now.

They don't get lighter than 25oz!
Ha ha, not what I meant… the 25oz were meant to be my last and then I bought a pair of 14oz today. So it's not going to well.

^ wonderful fit @Chad mac and really very good with the shirt.
While I’m at it, thanks everyone for documenting the shrinkage. I’m pushing my luck with the waist on my pair after sizing down so it is good to see what I can expect when they get here.
This is a brilliant thread so far.
I didn't soak first, but with just 1 day of wear, it's evident that I could have gotten away with sizing down one more size… though I did get the largest waist measurement for my size

This denim is going to fade incredibly. I am amazed by how awesome these jeans are.
It will be fun to see all the different fade pictures from these jeans.

I feel like I should know the answer to this but these shouldn't shrink at all in the length after the first soak, right? It's not like – and this is where I feel dumb -- the stacks that build behind the knees are going to shorten the inseam, right? The stacks build because of excess inseam, right?
I've only recently started hemming my denim to a length that's just perfect. Before, I would hem them too long to account for any shrinkage with wear or wash, so losing half an inch wasn't a big deal. So before I go and hem these to that perfect length, I just want to know if I should expect any more shortening of the inseam.

@Paul9221 the creasing at the knees is going to shorten the inseam slightly but stacking is what happens when you have more inseam than you need. The more excess inseam, the more stacks.
The amount of inseam you "lose" with honeycombs forming behind the knees is negligible in reality. I've seen .5" suggested but I'd say that was a liberal estimate based on my experience.
