Denim/Workman UK
I've got two new UKs. A denim and a workman. Being new both of these are very stiff. I figured I could run them trough the wash a few times to help with that. This hasn't worked though. Does anyone have any tricks to help loosen them up. Thanks in advance.

Wearing them is the only way to loosen them up. Cheers!

Fabric softener and LOTS of it! Do NOT use hot water.
I've also heard about using tennis balls in the machine to "tenderize."
Basically, you have the wear & beat the h*ll out of it.

The denim will soften up fairly quickly on it's own, the workman's not so much (I have one that is six years old, and still fairly stiff, and yes I have used fabric softener)
