For unsanforized denim, you soak it first then let it shrink to fit. You get the best fit this way, as the denim literally shrinks around your body and creates a perfect fit.
During the soaking you do your best not to disturb the materials, so that the dye loss is minimized.
For sanforized pairs, the idea is to wait as long as you can before the first wash, to get the best possible contrast in the fade. Yes that can be gross.
