Soak unsanforized denim while wearing or not?

[Catharsis]

Which method sets in better whiskers / honeycombs / wrinkles?

In warm water,

1) Soaking unsanforized denim while wearing them?

Standing up a few times and sitting back down (squat / lie down) in the tub to let gravity set the creases. Careful cus you can manipulate the creases however you want when the jeans are wet, and they stay that way when it dries. Then go outside in the sun and do squats or whatever until it dries.

or,

2) Simply turning inside out and soaking?

I'm curious because I've only done the first method and the creases stay the way it's dried so it would seem like if you did the second method you would have unwanted creases or less because the stiffness returns when the jeans dry so it's harder to get the creases in immediately.

wearing them after soaking and hang drying produces plenty of creases...

either way works fine, but I think you are over scientificizing the wearing of jeans.

also, you should check the denim encyclopedia
