That's a bitch :/ I remember when I first got them, I came to this thread and read that since they were sanforized hot soaking was not necessary. Actually read here that hot soaking would make the denim more prone to crotch blowouts and things of the sort , and it would result in cheaper looking fades.

If anything soaking should deter blowouts.  Cheap looking fades, what does that even mean?  Initial soaks will do nothing but get rid of any shrinkage left and remove some starch.  I'm sorry you were given wrong information, that's a bummer.  I wouldn't be too worried or expect a lot of stretch after you wash your denim.  I highly doubt they will be unwearable after your wash, granted they aren't as tight as leggings at the moment.

i did say STRETCH isnt selvedge, so the WG from a couple seasons ago are selvedge but the current SG stretch isnt

Lol to be honest, even I'm not sure what that means. But no, they're not tight at all since I've lost some weight the past few months. They have a pretty relaxed fit. But I'm glad I got this information though. So general consensus is that hot soaking should always be done, regardless of whether the denim is 'sanforized' or not? Will it have any difference in how much time it'll take for the denim to start fading?

I have the brown one. And the surface seems to get kind of wrinkly - especially around where the buckle is when the belt is on. The belt around that area is all bent up and even some of the brown tanning has come off (though its still brown underneath) not sure if this is normal.

anyone knows the type 2 jacket Bahzad wearing?
