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

[dave]

I didn't measure my 31's when I got them, but they now measure 16 across.  Personally I wouldn't risk going down two from the OD on a $480 pair of jeans.  I tried going down one from my regular 31 to 30 on the TWR01 but those suckers did't stretch.  There are days I just can't wear them.  The ODs are tight and stretchy, but there's no guarantee the XHS will behave similarly.

Does anyone have a game plan for washing these?  I'd like to test their limits and don't really foresee the need due to the cold weather, but I don't want any problems w/ my stitching.  I'd be interested to hear some thoughts on how/when some of you are going to go about it.

sorry no plans or ideas at the moment on washes & such. it really depends on the way the jeans behave & how dirty they get.  since these are sanforized i'm pretty optimistic about all the threads being bedded & all those technical terms people in the know use (i'm not in the know so i won't use them).

i do think i'll start wearing mine for Halloween. i started my 666 on Friday the 13th so it's fitting, but it depends on how this evening & the morning goes . . .

sorry to get off track. back to your question, i will wash when they are really dirty or stink . . . or both 

I would say inside out, delicate (i'm a wimp) machine wash warm or cold, low or no spin, air dry. i'll soak before wash just to get the fabric to soften up a bit & to get some of the funk out

sorry had to come back as i still only half answered your question the 1st time

I would say inside out, normal machine wash (warm or cold, not hot), low or no spin, air dry. I they're really dirty, soak them for 30-60 mins before the wash.

That's pretty much what I'm thinking as well.  I usually wait for the funk to get critical then do an inside out cold, delicate wash then air dry.  I was just worried that since it's cold out they won't get smelly as quickly, and I wouldn't want the more tropical areas (crotchal region) to suffer from the hold out.  I should be ok waiting till they go down for the summer then clean before storage.  I'm not ashamed to say I won't be sporting these during a sultry Baltimore summer.  A real man knows when to admit he needs some booty shorts.

@Beatle:

Excellence in fashion.

[Matt]

So Beatle opts for the crotch wash only… judging by the look on her face, it must be the spin cycle.

You mean her face, right   

MY PAIR ARRIVES ON WEDNESDAY!.. SERIOUSLY I CAN NOT WAIT… 33" inseam for a double roll... I stand by the idea that on slim jeans, a double cuff looks brilliant... In Finn's case even a triple cuff does!..

[kit99bar]

Awesome! What size did you get seul?

[GHBK16]

First time posting a pic on here, this self portrait thing is much harder than you guys make it look, but you get the idea….(and I'll work on my photography skills....)
