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

@georgeel:

Just to know, is 25oz denim silicone coated as 21oz? THey are both sanforized, but I suspect that are treated in different way…

The 21oz is not actually silicone coated, but silicone is used in the final process - H actually explained the process to me this week, but it is our secret I am afraid.  25oz no silicone used….

G: is my memory failing me or did you post something about how the 25 oz jeans aren't onewashed and a bit of shrinkage is to be expected after a wash?..

[Guest]

Oh no, I may have to never wash mine then

[Seul]

I've washed mine twice in the machine so far. Maybe they shrank a little but after some wear they definitely stretched back… But it was either my imagination or it took them quite a bit longer to stretch back than normal...

[Giles]

From the website:
Sanforised but unwashed, so expect a little shrinkage after the first wash, but like all denim, will stretch in the waist: expect about an inch stretch in the waist with lots of wear.

but simple curiosity G, what is the reason to use silicon in the final process with the 21oz?

My 666xhs fit perfect before wash, after flipped inside out and rinsed in a washing machine they were too tight for me to even put on. I went tts with the size too, definetly had some shrinkage, or I just packed on some pounds and want to believe they shrank.

Cool. Didn't check the product info, suz for that.

Retards the indigo loss….

[hajduk]

[georgeel]

Now that I know it, I can feel the silicon when I slide into my 634s…

I have three pairs in the 25 ounce.  I've given each a room temp soak and one a good wash and one an additional hot soak.  I've experienced some shrinkage but after wearing them for a few days, I'm hard pressed to see a huge difference.  I've not done a super hot bashing wash.  You'd likely get some more shrinkage with a few of these.

Sorry, but unless you used the hottest temp wash, it's very unlikely they shrunk so much you couldn't get them on. 25oz just doesn't have that much shrink in them.

I'm sure daynym would disagree with you
They sure do shrink a noticeable amount

@daynym:

Thx to mvb. My size 34 arrived today.

33 would definately have been too small. The denim feels and looks great.

I decided to give them pants a real machine wash. 2 hours - 40 degrees.

And hell. Even if Haraki soaks every pair, those shrunk like a dick in cold water…
And the result is, that I fell in love with my pair of heavy-ass-iron-heart-25oz winter pants!!!

So, if anybody feels the smallest urge to buy a pair. DO IT!!! You won´t regret...

[darkstar2q9]

is that the same pair?!?!?! its like a 634 became a 666

[daynym]

The same effin pair.

[Guest]

We're they in the dryer shrinker? How is that possible, that's worse than unsanforized

For nerkg and darkstar2q9:

One year and two machinewashes later:

The thigh looks smaller a little but nowhere near his magic shrinking trick
