IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
well they don't really become soft and comfortable after 2 weeks. i think about a month.. well in my case at least, and i wore them everyday! well 1 thing i'm sure of is running in these jeans really conditions a man.. they weigh a ton, it really feels different walking in these and in a lighter pair

@Dirty:
Yes its my money and my decision but there is nothing wrong with everyone having their own opinion on what i did. I mean i never ever used sand paper and everyone seems to believe that. Either way i cheated in some way or other. I do have a question. Why is it ok to take a sea wash and rub sand on ur jeans…Why is that ok..Its sand and sand is sand. Double standard because a lot of people do that but if i take a dry eraser its a big no no. Please someone explain to me what the difference is so I can know for myself (Not sarcasm)
In many internationally renowned brands, like Dolce & Gabbana, Dior and PRPS, altered denim is considered an added value. Artificial fading, if done manually, is an art, and can greatly increase the price of a pair of jeans. From this point of view, I think that your work on your 666XHS is not bad at all!
And I don't think you can define it "cheating". Not exactly.Personally, I really love my jeans when they are new, and I try to preserve them for as long as possible. I did, however, a sea and sand treatment to my 666sod, because I was curious, but I must admit, I haven't had great results as well.
When I cheat, I go with Photoshop…

Noticeable signs, two weeks til their anniversary… Where does the time go? It doesn't seem like 5 minutes. cue jokes about lack of evo ;).

I wore my 666XHS for more then 6 months, then I washed and put them to rest, waiting for autumn and a new tour-de-force. Last week, however, I wanted to give them a try and, surprise, I noticed that they shrunk a bit, around 0.5 "everywhere! Not a problem, because meanwhile I lost some grams of weight (now I am a true 28!), but these monsters shrink… They do! I believe that finally, with one or two days of wear, they will resume their original size.
My god, 25oz denim under a 39-40 degrees are really a straitjacket!
... but a cool one! -
Pretty pumped - got these on sale through Self Edge yesterday. Getting them hemmed so I suppose they won't arrive for a week or two. Maybe still too warm to wear during the day, but should be good for night time.

Oh man oh man oh man.
Just got confirmation that my 666XHS have been shipped from Self Edge. It's been really hot and humid this week, but I'm headed off to the wilderness next Friday, for a week, and they'll be perfect for the cold nights.

Fantastic pic

Well it's been one whole year (almost).
More pics in the evo thread.

Nearly ruptured something after I pulled them inside out again. It must have been at least 5mins per leg, with some v.manly jumping up and down…
Job done though, I'm covered in indigo blood and the 666's are drying in the sweltering heat of 14 degrees C.
