Just got my XX-012s Indigo/Indigo and loving them!! I got them one-wash, and I do need to get them hemmed. In your experience (those who bought one-wash) did you experience shrinking (especially hem) again when you washed? Just trying to figure out whether I should hem it to the length I want or a couple inches more in case they shrink when I wash.

Any input is greatly appreciated, thanks!

I've got the 18oz 013 fit. Thighs are quite slim. The fabric shrinks considerably but is quick to stretch out after 1 wear. The low tension weave makes it feel lighter than 18oz.

Cheers

Hey guys I need some advice. I accidentally spilled an Oreo shake all over my jeans

They're 4 months in and I haven't washed them. Could I spot clean it or do I let it be and ride it out?

Hand wash em man. Ain't nobody wanna smell dairy in the heat. Plus it'll be good for the denim.

Will they still be the same or will they fade? They're still pretty dark. I'm just skeptic about washing them early, I don't want to damage them. This is my first pair and I already messed them up haha

Cold water with minimal agitation. From my experience, the first wash sometimes makes the blue hue deeper because some of the dye gets into the white weft, esp. if they're raw and unsoaked

I think I'm ready to enter to PBJ world but need some sizing advice if you don't mind. My favorite fitting jeans are Rogue Territory’s SK which have the following measurements: waist: 16.5”, upper thigh: 11.75"-12”, knee: 7.57"-8" and leg opening: 7”. I’m looking at the unique purple color 014 in slim tapered, and I like the cobalt blue 017 but I do you think those would be too similar to my SK over-dyed? Anyway, it looks like a size 31 (maybe 30) in raw and a size 33 in one wash are pretty close to my Rogue Territory measurements. However, once they are washed, will those measurements shrink for good or shrink and then go back out to the listed measurements? Could you give me some tips here? I may have to taper the leg opening some to get that SK taper at teh bottom, but I'm more concerned with the waist and thigh measurements. Thanks.

The one washed pretty much have all the shrink out of them (hot industrial washer), but certain areas like the waist can stretch back out to raw measurements if need be. People always suggest to size for the thighs, since post soak they don't really stretch out that much. Hope this helps.

This is helpful, thanks. I may just go with a one wash to take most of the guesswork out of it. Really like the purple and cobalt!
