@nrtphotos I soak all of my jeans inside out in the bathtub or laundry sink pre wash. After the jeans have been thoroughly soaked, I then place them in a washing machine to clean.
By doing this you minimize the chance of creating marbling or streaks on your jeans.
It's a best approach method that most of us use.
These are brand spanking new, worn less than a week so they definitely don’t need a wash. I’m more concerned about the stitching setting in and longevity. The booklet wording made it sound like you absolutely should, where the online post about washing said a soak was optional. That’s what I’m confused about.

Alright, I need some help here.
The die is cast. Carry on. I didn't soak mine and I have no regrets.
-
@nrtphotos You are talking about two different denims and two different ways that they need to be treated.
The UHR needs to be pre-soaked and washed in order to set the stitching to prolong the longevity…
The XHS only needs to be pre-soaked prior to wash in order to prevent marbling. I often have taken my XHS from the bag and worn them until dirty. When it comes time to clean, the best way to prevent marbling and/or streaking is to pre soak inside out and then wash as normal.

Some strong cases here for not cuffing. Thinking about hemming my SBG now. Hmm…

The first days/steps in this denim! First time in a 888 and dig the relaxed overall fit!

@68degreesorless those look amazing! Too warm to wear mine but looking to give em a beating in the fall/winter
-
Thanks @atm23! They will accept your beating and grant you softness and beauty in return
-
Well done @68degreesorless and agreed with @atm23, they're looking awesome! Still trying to squeeze out some wears on my pair as California warms up.

When will these get a restock?

@Oaktavia the green in that tshirt is beautiful
It was the first IH shirt I bought from eBay a while back. Still one of my favorites after buying 20+ more. The fabric is aging beautifully and the fit is spot on for my taste.
-
Aye, same here, need these…

UGH I am super bummed out about the paint on these jeans. I was painting all day Sunday and was super in the zone. I knew I had got some acrylic paint on my right knee, but woke up to a fuckton more than I realized was there. I then tried isopropyl alchohol and a rag, which fucked them up even more (even after knowing the risk involved). I also tried baking soda mixed with water and that didn't so shit but get the solution caked onto it. After a hose down, I am left with this. Totally bummed and feel I ruined them even more when I guess I couldn have just left them. I have been moping a lot about it. Anyone on here able to tell me I'm not a huge idiot and I should/could still wear them?
Edit: FWIW my wife thinks I'm wrong for caring about it. She's just happy I'm painting again. Tells me to own it and stop being a pu**y about it.

@Oaktavia Ouch! I feel your pain as it's akin to getting the first scratch on a new pair of boots but I agree with your wife on owning it. Roll with it and make them your new "gettin' shit done" jeans and use them for yard work, house work, painting, etc. and they'll probably end up better for it.
Worse case scenario, you could snag another pair on the impending restock and given your track record, you could probably have a new pair equally worn-in in no time!
