Soaking denim

[sammmy]

As this is a major factor with new jeans i thought i would start a new thread on the topic.

Can someone let me know what this actually means and what it actually does to your denim.

I'm guessing you didn't read this, as it is a major factor with new threads.

I did actually but couldnt find a specific thread on soaking.

Can anyone help me out?

[sammmy]

i just think there are so many questions that newbies like myself would like to know, things like.

How long to stay in the tub for???

Water temperature???

Is it just water you want to soak them in???

What to do after you take them from the tub???

I just think if someone had to time to write a step by step it would be a massive help, not just to myself but many newbies i can assure you....

omfg IT DOESNT MATTER!!

1. fill the tub with water (hot=max shrinkage, cold=still shrinks but prolly not max)

2. throw the jeans in their and let it be completely submerge in water

3. leave it in their for atleast 2 hrs

4. take it out and hang it up outside to air dry

answers to the q?:

many hours, like overnight

as hot as you can get it

just hot tap water

several options: hang them to drip dry, wring out as much water as possible then wear wet or hot tumble dry in the machine to get maximum shrinkage

All this information is up on the board if you take time to look.

Chill out sir. I assure you that however helpful that enclycpedia was, it didn't contain specific details on soaking. The search function could use some work too.
