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

[Matt]

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?

[Licorice Noose]

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.

Very quick pics whilst the sun is out…

Hoping on at least another month of continuous wear during the week… I want to see some result before I put them down til September/ October

some news about the re-stock? The DC4002 was not my cup of tea. I'm to thin for that fit. Will try a pair of 666-XHS (W32) in the near future …

About 2 weeks.  The 634-xhs are ready to ship now, the 666-xhs are a week behind them…

Wow, Seul! Those look really great! I think that you´ll be able to wear them till mid may, weather wise…

[Seul]

April 2k11 had temperatures up to 25 C°… Now, I'm not too sure how well you know me, but I usually start wearing shorts when it hits 20...  No way am I wearing 25 fucking oz. jeans til mid May, mate...

Agreed. I own a lot of jeans and live in Bowie, MD. Summer is for lighter denim

[daynym]

Okay. I have to wait to wait and check for myself how breathable this 25 oz denim is. I am not a friend of sweaty legs, too. Therefore I only wear denim in summer,  in the later hours of the day…

[Seul]

It breaths less than a corps…

[Matt]

There's also the effect the sweat will have on the jeans' stink factor.  5 months w/ no wash and no stink may work from October to March, but I wouldn't last 5 days come May in these things.  The odor would get pretty raunchy pretty quick.

Quite ashamed to post mine here. But still, here goes my near 4 months of weekend wear.

The knees are always the fastest..

[mankarat]

I wear my jeans/any jeans at tropical country. Get used to it already. No problem reallly once you familiar with the feel. But, i could not do an unwash 5 months method here.
