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

[Seul]

Wore 'm for 6 months straight away. Will now soak 'm every 2-3 months or so. No science behind, although I would recommend a soak after a month or so to soften them up a bit, especially if you cuff (to avoid bad hem fraying).

@Giles:

It does not just mention raw denim, see after Raw Denim paragraph:

"Regular and Pre-Soaked Raw Denim (does not need soaking before wearing)"

had them for 4 wks. I need to get these hemmed a couple inches shorter. I live in Minneapolis, USA. Feeling like it is worth sending them out to get proper chain stitched… Any suggestions, recommendations?

Thanks

[wakeupscreaming]

Get them chainstiched. They're worth it. Edit: Just Re-read your post; http://www.selfedge.com/ would be my first idea in the US.

First crotch fix.

If SE doesn't do mail in chain stitching, you can try Tate + Yoko in Montreal or Dutil in Toronto.

Or Blue in Green in New York. Railcar in California also does hemming

Blue Owl Workshop in Seattle, no question.  Jay is a great dude and is the only person I will send my jeans to for hemming, even though I live in Raleigh NC and the Raleigh Denim Curatory is 15 min away.  24hr turnaround and spectacular service and quality hemming job.  $25 per pair for hemming, plus return shipping.  Just put a note in with your request (thread color, length, whatever) and contact info and he'll get you sorted out.

Almost 9 months… Where does the time go? Pics tomorrow. ( I did take some today, but they didn't look great).

[Seul]

Eagerly awaiting those pics mate!..

[rocket]

me too…

[Morose_Penguin]

They won't be too exciting… Camera choices limited to phone or 4 year old Cyber-shot...

I'd enlist some help from a couple of camera geeks at work, but they already think I'm mad :(.

[rocket]

so where is the deal, if you already mad in their view, gohead proudly to the next level  and again any pic is way better as no pic at all…

[Morose_Penguin]

" So Jay, do you mind photographing a pair of jeans for me??"

Hmm, that might work… I shall find out tomorrow.

[Morose_Penguin]

Natural light, no Sun.

9 months tomorrow - stuck at work, so it's happening today.

Evening and days off only.

4 months solo, 5 months in rotation. No wash. Although they have been rained/snowed/hailed on a bit. Probably aiming for a wash after 1 year, but maybe later.

Ok pics:
