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

Very nice, Seul
-
looks good! do post pics of it after the first wash.

What is used for construction? Oversized cotton threads? Poly-cotton? Poly thread? The 666s are built with cotton threads with exception of yoke construction; poly thread is used if I remember correctly…
-
If you're on the thin side and want a really slim fit, might I suggest sizing down one on these? My size 34s have a 36" waist and tons of room throughout and I have an average/medium build w/ some shorter stockier legs. I got them hemmed to 31.5" inseam and can't wear them w/ Vans because the opening is too wide and gets caught underneath.

Some shitty cell phone pics, about 3 months in. I've been hanging drywall the last couple days, blew most of the dust out with a compressor, some of the dust is just stuck until the first soak. -
A little gypsum never hurt anybody. I don't think anyway. Those are beat up in a good way!
Seul, no offense taken (not really). I have like 8 pairs of Vans and have had the same pair of black Chucks since 2002. When I was in middle school I had a pair that were glow in the dark cheetah print. Say what you will but I would wear those now if I could find them.
-
So here's the real question… Now that I have these ODs I'm trying like hell to stretch out, what do I do w/ my XHS? Do I wash them and put them down at 5 months of wear? Do I hold out another month or 2 in case it gets chilly here? They're going to have to get wet at some point but I will want to put them away after the 1st wash. What are the rest of you doing now that spring/summer is around the corner?
-
I have no plans to quit wearing mine and i'm in Arizona. Man up. You'll get used to it.

Hey Matt… The OD fabric isn't much lighter than the 25 oz… I'd say put another month worth of wear into your XHS'es, then wash 'm and put 'm away... Me I'm going with 14 oz. jeans as soon as the XHS'es become too warm to wear at work... And let's hope the lightweight ducks 'll be out by then as well...

I might be more inclined to go heavy in the summer if I lived someplace dry like AZ, but I'm in Baltimore and it's a GD sauna here @ 95+ degrees F with 95% humidity from June to September. It's miserable. When I made the switch to IH I turned all my old 501s into shorts so that may be my option for really bad days.

Completely agree with you, Matt. I'm from Florida and live in NYC now, it gets so muggy here during the summer. I hate wearing shorts but there really isn't a "man up" option out there unless IH makes chambray pants. And I wouldn't call chambray pants manly.
