Cheers Bob , 25oz super tough denim can definitely take a beating, got little blow out in the crotch, both knees, the cuffs are beat but they have held up well . 👍

Thank you, just plenty of wear two or three washes 👍

Thank you 👍 appreciate your comment.

No worries appreciate your comment thank you 👍

Cheers appreciate your comment 👍 Not really soon as you do the initial soak they shrink a inch in length and a bit on the waist, I put them on damp just before they dry completely and walk around the house that sets all the creases so that’s the length they stay at . Then I take them off and hang to completely dry..

Cheers mate nice and easy in the machine and great results 👍

Yes I agree. Very cool!

@@Ralle501 thanks for your comment 👍

Thanks a lot appreciate your comment 👍

Thanks a lot appreciate your comment 👍

Cheers Gareth 🙌 Red Wing 1907 the leather laces they came with 👍

@@luvthefades ah that makes sense I thought you had 875 on

Thank you kindly your comment is much appreciated 👍 the field is stacked yet again with amazing fades have to wait and see 🤞

Thanks a lot that pair made the Top 16 in indigo invitational Y3 fade competition , and P4 with a public vote but never made the Top 10 where a panel of judges decide.. In regards to washing you know when it’s time when they smell a little funky and think I don’t fancy wearing them lol.. Turn them inside out and soak either in a bowl or in your bath for 30mins cold or warm water. Remove and place into the machine 30c No spin cycle, it’s going to spin slowly while in the wash the NO spin is in relation to the end of the wash to remove the water from the drum when it takes off at like 100mph 😆 that’s what messes them up . If your machine doesn’t have an option to turn it off don’t risk it… maybe look at the manual if it can be done. Otherwise hand wash in the Bath with a bit of detergent. 👍

@@luvthefades Ah man you must be so proud, that’s great recognition, even without the judging. Will you enter again? Thanks for the reply on this, really appreciate the advice. Ah ok yup it’s my gf machine so don’t know it that well is the issue. I’ll ask her what she says about the spin cycle. We always do 30 degree 15 min “super quick” on everything minus bed linen and towels and clothes come out wet so don’t think a spin is involved. So, if it doesn’t say spin on that read out or have a spin icon on the setting (which it does on both fronts on other settings as just checked) then I take it that one is fine? If not hand washing is fine to do anyway.

Thanks a lot 🙌

Hey Mate , I would do the Hot Soak and then Machine wash remove all shrinkage. You should expect about 1inch in the length and roughly the Same in the waist. Do you know if you had any shrinkage when you did your initial soak ? I would then put them on damp and set those original creases back in.. I shouldn’t think they should shift. I wore my XHSib for 6 months then did the machine wash 🤦🏻‍♂️ and didn’t notice any shift but noticed the 1inch in the length.

Hi soaking the denim before putting them in the washing machine stops marbling .👍

Thanks for your comment 👍 there Iron Heart 555XHS 25oz Soaked in cold water for about 5 mins just so there completely soaked through before putting them in the washing machine 👍

Hi Yeh if you’re not sure if they have been one-washed then could give them a hot/warm initial soak with a bit of addition to remove any remaining shrinkage 👍

Hi yes that’s the purpose of the hot initial soak to remove any remaining shrinkage, so when everything is set and you do your first wash nothing moves 👍 thanks for your comment appreciate it..

Hi Bob , Iron Heart 25oz is such a great Denim it’s takes some breaking in for sure but soon as you get past that initial break In period you won’t look back super comfortable . It’s definitely my favourite IH denim if you have patience and can withstand being uncomfortable for 2 weeks or so I would definitely go for it. It’s a big leap up from 14oz I’ve never tried 14oz the lightest pair I own is IH-55519L and there beastie . My XHS I wore pretty much every day for Y3 indigo invitational fade competition so in work and leisure 👍

Thanks appreciate it 👊 No your good to go with the 21oz Sanforized and one-washed - little to no shrinkage to be expected.. 👍 Such a great pair of jeans so comfortable and look amazing with plenty of wear..

@@luvthefades thanks, appreciated

Turn them inside out, soak them first before putting them in the washing machine 30c no spin cycle and your be all good 👍

@@luvthefades ah okay got it ! Thanks for that truely appreciate it :D

Hi Mate To be honest don’t know anything about Levi’s .. but washing should be roughly the same process. Without following this process with Iron heart denim when putting them in the washing machine they would be prone to Marbling , streaks in the denim etc..

You need to do a Hot/warm initial soak to remove any shrinkage before wearing. Regarding washing try and hold off as long as you can. You will know when it’s time they just feel grimy and not nice to put on in the morning then it’s time for a wash.. 👍

Great purchase I’m looking at getting another pair enjoy 👍

I definitely wouldn’t recommend that sorry , could try a hotter wash in the machine..

Shrinking but not overshrinking makes me want to try incrementally increasing the heat on each wash. But at the same time I don't want to wash it four times unnecessarily haha. First pair of selvedge, been wearing them 9 months with no washes. Nervous I'm going to waste a whole year haha. Thanks for the feedback! @@luvthefades

@@luqmanuldaniel4880 Thanks a lot 🙌

I’ve got three pairs of 21oz there Sanforized and one-washed so little to no shrinkage to be expected 👍

Yes the XHS 25oz need a initial soak to remove any remaining shrinkage, so I put mine in a warm/Hot bath for 1 hr soak . 👍

Mine might need that but I don’t want them to shrink too much. 15.7oz I think momotaro

👍 yeh make sure you soak them first , turn inside out , 30c No spin

@@luvthefades appreciate the reply, thanks 👍

Cheers 🙌 appreciate your comment Just made the TOP 50 😀

@@luvthefades do you only do iron heart? brave star has 25oz sumos i wanna jump on.

Yes mate just Iron Heart that’s all I own 👍 I’ll take a look now don’t think you can beat 25oz perfect weight denim..

Actually wore them 370 days before taking them off .

@@luvthefades What made you decide to go five more days?

@@Grandmasterkiller can’t remember to be honest 2022 I stopped wearing them. Don’t wear them at all now they were my first pair of 25oz didn’t know a lot about the fabric and I got them hemmed before soaking them, so after a wash etc they shrunk there not a length I like . I don’t get them hemmed now like the look of a non cuff and a few stacks .👍

Hi Rob thanks for subscribing much appreciated 👍. No slim taper you wouldn’t want 25oz skinny jeans

@@luvthefades thanks for the info.

What lol … rinse that off , turn them inside out and soak them for about 30mins to 1hr in warm water .. remove place them in the washing machine still inside out and wet. Add detergent, 30c NO!! Spin and you’re all good .. hang on line to drip dry 👍

@@luvthefades got too drunk and threw up on em 😂 thanks
