i'd say just start wearing them if they fit perfect already on you and wash when necessary.Originally Posted by Mojodmonky1
Hopefully some of you guys can help me out as I am completely ignorant to raw denim care.
Just picked up a pair of Rag & Bone RB6's (non-selvage i believe) which fit nicely off the rack but I wanted to give them the proper care to have a nice fit. I usually wear a 36x32 in pre-washed jeans, and these are a 36x34. Good thing I saw Yamakazi's remark about hemming them before wearing them (which I was going to do). Im not as concerned with the high contrast fading as I am with getting a nice comfortable fit with some decent whiskers and honeycombs. Should I soak or not soak? If I soak, what is the best way to do so? Hot, lukewarm, cold? 36's fit pretty true to size and if they shrink more than an inch or two in the waist I'm either going to have to lose some weight or be extremely uncomfortable. Are Rag & Bone's known to shrink or stretch a good bit? Will I be doing mself a disservice if I hot soak them and shrink them too much or will everyday wear stretch them back to a decent fit? I hate to sound like a lame but what is the best pre-wear treatment methods before I start giving them the 24/7 wear? Thanks in advance.
