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

[hajduk]

if your BB tagged 32 was not snug at the start, u can give a try at the tagged 31 with the 666.
the 25oz does not stretch like the 21oz.
tenk på det
lykke til!

Pushragner if your thighs work, a tag 31 should probably fit
Agree with the mates ^^

i have the same problem with sizing too…im in between a size 32 and 33 at the moment...so knowing that i got the tag size 32 which is actually a 33.. im just afraid that when i get it in the mail tomorrow and  try it on that it'll fit perfect around the waist.. which is bad for me knowing itll stretch out to about in inch after a handful of wears.. also itll be a problem because if i do want to size down on the waist then i know for a fact that my thighs will not fit in the tag size 31..im kindve stuck too right now so i guess ill have to hope for the best and find out tomorrow when they come in

[beautiful_FrEaK]

afraid of the waist stretching too much? just wear a belt and the jeans stay where you want them to stay

[Arabit]

I think you made the right choice with the 32.

[Pushragner]

Thanks for all the helpfull comments people (takk skal du ha hajduk ;)). My 21" BB was not snug at the beginning and now they are loose enough to skateboard comfortably in (provided the temperature is 5 celcius as it is here in Norway at the moment). So I'll think the 31" is the way to go.

Off course, now I face the dillemma of how much hemming. To cuff or not to cuff, that is the question. But I have to figure out that for myself.

[davito]

Nice choice man.

I have the 34 inseam VMC and hemmed them to perfect length around 30.5 after 2 washes and about 6 months, kinda regret it now as i like double cuffs but no prob still kuul to wear. Next pair will remain 34 inseam

[Seul]

Do not hem to length from the start… These need a lot of extra length to settle and they take their time...

[Pushragner]

Yeah, I forgot that they will need some length to settle. I was thinking about getting them hemmed at 31" inches, assuming that 30 - 30,5 would be perfect after a wash (the inseam shrinks about 0,5 -1" after a wash, right?).  So I should at least go for a 32" inseam? I'm not a big fan of big cuffs.

[Seth]

31" may be a little short. I'd go 32" if you want to end up at 30.0-30.5".

The typical guidance for hemming new jeans is to go about 1.5"  longer than the desired final length. That 1.5" gives you enough length for some shrink and for combs/whiskers to gather.

That said, I don't know exactly how this 25 oz denim will shrink over time.

[davito]

I would also go 32.5-33 and take it from there, better bit more than less and a 1 inch cuff is always nice if needed. I am 173cm assume the same height as you pushragner

[Seul]

I had them hemmed to 33" - had them shortened again 0.5" after a couple of months… Am about a 31.5" so now I can still do a double cuff/ small roll or a standard, single 1" cuff...

So yeah now that I do the math, they didn't shrink much and they didn't take much length to settle in my case... But of course: best stay on the safe side and go a bit longer... Wear for a couple of months, wash 'm once or twice, then hem again if necessary...

Oh: and I'm 1.75 m/ 5.75'...

Push, do like that

[Pushragner]

I just ordered the 31" with 32" hemming. And then I went to this forum and saw the last replies. I'm the same height as Seul so I'm thinking about asking IH to hem an inch extra. But I went and measured my Nudies Grim Tim which has my favorite inseam length (should have done this before, I know). They measured 30" and I wear them with an inch of single cuff. Guess I have really short legs. So I'm sticking with a 32" inseam.

Nevertheless, thanks for all the advice everyone. You all are nice and helpful people. Can't wait for the jeans to arrive.

My girlfriend, a clinical psychologist, is now rolling her eyes and probably silently diagnosing me after I told her I just ordered a pair of 500$ jeans. But she keeps on saying "It's your money, honey" so we're all right.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

One thing that some people often forget, when the jeans stretch in the waist, you often end up wearing them a bit lower than where they started (at least I do ) and this lower "wearing point" adds to the inseam. So the reduction of creases is in my case often (or always) negligible.
And yes I do wear a belt most of the time. Still, just my experience

[davito]

Good job pushragner important is you feel comfortable

[Seul]

You'll be fine with the 32" if you don't wanna hem, no worries!.. Remember: mine are 32.5 and I can still cuff so… I'd go right ahead and measure them but I'm useless with a measuring tape so it'd be inaccurate...

Either way: congrats with your purchase... You'll hate 'm at first, love/ hate 'm after a week, and love 'm after a couple of months, to the point where people think you're masturbating in public just cause you're frantically touching and caressing your denim...

[Pushragner]

Yeah, I've been reading this entire thread, and I'm awiting the 666 with equal parts of joy and fear, with a little bit of awe somewhere in there as well.

[CLJ]

The evo produced on 25oz jeans in this thread is amazing. Makes me really excited for the 12 and 24 month marks of the HWDC with all the 25oz pairs in the comp. Great pics guys!!

[hajduk]
