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

@Matt:

I broke down and washed mine, knew  I wasn't going to wear them again this spring since the OD is going so well.  Cold cycle in washer w/ a cap full of Dr Bronners… I made the mistake of washing them inside out and honestly thought I wasn't going to get them pulled through again...

In case you're wondering, here's what happens when you wash and hang dry...

What do you mean pulled thorough, why was it a mistake to wash inside out?

[Matt]

Not necessarily a mistake.  They were just a super bitch to get inside back in again.  As tough as they are dry, they are twice as tough wet.

@Seul:

.. Some say these fade fast but I never agreed… Slow as hell... Def will take another 6 months to see some significant fades 

Great pics Seul. I've said this before in other threads, but I really love jeans at this point of wear, i.e. after several months and first wash. There's still an element of mystery to them at this stage. When they fade further they sure can look beautiful, but by that time they've given up all their secrets.

LN your pair will turn into some holy grail pair of IH denim in a few more months…already looking perfect to me!

What aren't you happy with? They look pretty damn good from here…

Nah I hate it how stuff looks when it comes outta the machine… I wore them yesterday, and now they look really, REALLY good... I should've taken pics after a couple days of wear...

If you don't mind me asking - how do you get your jeans looking like that? You do some kind of manual labour for a living?

I know people say "wear your jeans hard" but this takes it to a new level!

[Seul]

I've been working hard in mine for 5 months - how LN got them to look like that in 3 months boggles the mind!..

was thinking the same. construction site came to mind but I didn't ask in my previous post cos some might find it sensitive in talking about their job and etc.

anyway the other 2 that he was selling looked fantastic. not sure if it's sold or not but those deserve a frame to display it at full glory imho.

I'm a maintenance man at a 250 unit apartment complex. It's on like 10 acres and we have to walk everywhere. Between landscaping, drywall, painting and work orders, They get pretty beat.
