IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[georgeel]

After a week I can say that these jeans are starting to adapt to my legs. Deep creases appeared  behind the knees and at the high thighs (evo will be interesting there!) and button/unbutton them is now easy. As I expected, they stretched, maybe a little less then 634S, but they stretched, so they are not really slim fitted, exactly as i wanted.
At the same time, they continue to be stubborn, rigid and tough as hell. But isn't this rigidity what make them fit so well?
Yesterday I took a walk in the woods near home, and I was trapped between the brambles. I would still be there if I had not worn my invincible 25oz leg-armor! I went through the bushes full of thorns as they were a field of daisies!
One last note: they are the only pair of jeans that I really love wearing cuffed. It's strange.

25oz experience continues…

Small restock arriving here tomorrow.  I have placed them in the shop…..

I'm coming for these. Less is more. I've also come to realize I've been buying heavy-weight jeans and hardware a size too small. Time to grind out some more sales…Need to put in work for that 25oz.

Good choice shoreman.  I think the cut on the 666 25oz is a golden one, from the pics at least it seems slightly different than the regular 18oz fit and the fit pics on this thread all look great (indigoskin in particular, love that fit…)

It take me a good 10 mins to button up this monster.

Standing beside me…

They are very addictive.
Today I tried for a few minutes my dear ol' 634sr… supreme jeans, yes they are, but now I can't call them "heavy" anymore...
634S, for their part, are flannel!

These are my IH-666-XHS, destined to become "light" when 31oz 666-UBAXHS* come out...

currently I have no camera, so I'm forced to torture you with these revolting iPhone pics…

I like the deep blue color of the SR much more out of the box, but I have a feeling the XHS denim is going to look amazing over time.  I've only had mine for a couple of weeks and am already starting to seem some great color popping through.  I can try to photograph it, but it only comes out well in sunlight.

Not all that much we can do about that at this point, eh? ha. I'm glad to see so many people have jumped at the opportunity to try this new denim. I'm seriously starting to feel left out… >_<

[dave]

Probably not much we can do about it period.  It's just different denim.  I think the XHS contrast will blow the SR out of the water over time

[dave]

lol.. I have a use for that

You gotta post more now, Dave!..

Is there anyway that this denim will shrink? Perhaps with a hot soak at the waist line? The waist is a little too loose for my liking..

[Giles]

I doubt it I am afraid

[nicolnicolnicol]

It's okay! Nothing a belt can't solve!

[Beatle]

yap, nic, same boat as you..I checked - and actually my Busters od are the same size as these /29 - and the waist on the 666 could be about an inch smaller..so yes, belt it is..
