Raw Denim Care 02: Taking a Dip (The Bath Soak Method)

The ‘bath soak’ as a method of shrinking your jeans, for many, goes hand in hand with the romantic history of heritage denim. We’ve all been told stories of how our elders used to sit in the bath with their jeans on ‘until their legs were blue’. But it turns out, that there’s much more rhyme and reason to this apparent madness than just denim tradition. So come with us while we take a dip into the indigo waters, to see what all the fuss is about!

When a girlfriend of mine did this thirteen years ago I thought she was crazy. Made fun of her for weeks. And now here I am. Ah how things change.

Indeed so, this wet jeans customizing "process" gets addictive! Ah, yes I wear them wet outside in hotter weather especially, mowing lawn, hiking in creeks to swimming too after the initial soaking/shrinking! Fades more and that wet sensation can be arousing for some guys!! I know personally with some mates same feelings too, lol

Do I take them off to dry? or walk around with them on, to let them dry?

[@tradertom4843]

I think he says to pop em back on once they’re dry so I’m assuming he took em off

[@lt3880]

do not walk in them when wet you will bag out the knees

[@greasywarlock7002]

after i finish soaking them do i put them in a dryer or do i let them air dry?

[@sonofastag]

Let them air dry!

[@MD-ms1rn]
