Thanks. Was lucky to get a piece and plus the price was too good to say no. haha.

You will not be disappointed Bagley. My first introduction to Iron Heart and a true example of wabi-sabi!

My favorite type of denim so far.

[bagley920]

I know I'm a little late to the game but figured I would roll the dice given the exclusivity of these.

nice catch bagley, looking forward to seeing you in this nice 23oz

[bagley920]

There's one more 36 at SE for anyone still looking

If anybody of my denim friends visits Zurich in the near future: VMC has also some pairs of these guys in the shelf (do not know quantity and also not knowing available sizes)

OMG! thats so tempting!

[bagley920]

Anyone got any experience with not soaking these? Or doing only a cold soak?

[Finn666]

what you want to know matey?

[Giles]

It's completely up to you what you do with them, but if you don't soak them you will reduce their lifespan

[bagley920]

Not sure I want to shrink them in the waist just yet. Was more curious what kind of shrinkage I could expect with a cold soak as opposed to a hot soak. Don't really want to leave them raw

[Finn666]

best thing you could do is to leave them on while giving them a soak and wear´em till they´re dry. you won´t have problems buttoning them up afterwards and you also won´t let them shrink as much as they would if you wouldn´t wear them…just my 2cents though!

Not recommended:
"Raw DenimAlways soak before wearing, not only does this shrink the raw denim to tag size, it also beds in the constructional stitching, lessening the possibility of a stitching problem (e.g. crotch blowout).  Ideally soak for an hour or so in a bathtub or large sink of hot water and drip dry.  If you cannot drip dry, soak up the excess water with an old towel and lie flat on a clothes rack to dry."

Not his question…
