IH-555-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo

[JunkPants]

About 70 days worn at this point.
Other than the original soak+wash before use, one wash at around 50 wears or so.

[Kasi]

Coming out nicely

[JunkPants]

@Kasi Thanks! Slow and steady

is it ok if i didn’t do an initial soak on my 555-xhs.. just been wearing them everyday since they arrived.. still super stiff i’m thinking to maybe soak them? i’ve only been wearing them 20 days so i wouldn’t expect them to be too comfy yet

@fatmike71 That's certainly a good idea. A hot soak with plenty of agitation will get most of the shrinkage out. And the advantage of that is that your fades won't shift after a wash. Also, an early soak doesn't mean your jeans will no longer get high contrast fades, so no need to worry about that.

[fatmike71]

@Lowlander i’m thinking of doing it mostly because of this fade shift everyone is talking about..

[JunkPants]

@fatmike71 Great pair of jeans! I'd say these are my all time favourite so far.

You may be fine either way, but I did an early soak (and a wash) with this pair and it worked out great. Peace of mind if nothing else, to get most of the shrinkage out right away.

It may soften things up a bit as well. This particular pair was very soft right out of the paper bag though, and comfort would have been excellent either way, whereas I felt my XHSBB was quite stiff initially and certainly softened up a bit with a soak/wash.

[Oaktavia]

@JunkPants nice those look great man.

[JunkPants]

@Oaktavia Thanks man. XHS is so good. Not a lot of progress at the moment as I'm doing the Indigo Invitational with some SBGs, but will be sneaking in some XHS/XHSib here and there.

[Oaktavia]

@JunkPants yeah man I would be too! Those are my favorite denims, XHS and XHSib.
