haha, yes. They are almost unwearable when washed for the first time. They will get nice and soft if you wear them sans wash.

Any one know where you can get these in NYC? I'm looking for something like the 501xx 1947 repro's. I know these were last sold in 2003.

Ironing? wtf. No need.

If anything they will be even stiffer than they were pre-wash. Wait and see.
