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

[madmonday]

this is an odd situation.

i do not want to see your crotch while you are wearing your denim, but i have to look at the image & what you are talking about.

hahaha, but i see what you talking about

[JamesMarg]

Sorry to do that to you monday,
But i notice this while wearing them… and these feckers are not fun to get off! As you already know i'm sure?

[JamesMarg]

Who was the idiot that said these don't bleed?
Thaaaaat would be me…. haha

I know right!
All of my socks will be blue before long!

I will be be getting some when the next shipment of service boots comes in, same as yours :D!
They look so awesome.
One of the defining features for me is the double stitching that attaches the sole to the rest of the boot (not sure on the technical term) it's masterful

I "own" the combo XHS/Viberg.
U will love it! Trust me!

You were warned :)…

[JamesMarg]

I should have listened!

I can't have bare feet while wearing these jeans, they are so tough that they really hurt the tops of my feet hahaha!

[derivative666]

^man up, Sally!

[JamesMarg]

But that would be hard?

[Morose_Penguin]

Yep,

At the moment I can only wear my denim on my days off and when I have other time off from work. It's taken around two years (in rotation with 2-3 other pairs) for my 25oz Devils to reach the same ease of wear as my 21oz BBs. You're in for a long, tough fight :). There's a reason there was an accompanying "Are you tough enough?" Tee with these jeans :).

I'm sure you'll be fine though :).

[JamesMarg]

I look forward to the day!
My 21oz 555's are insanely soft now, i love them!

I'm in it for the long haul with these XHS's though.
I will be wearing then to work later today for the first time, its in a warehouse so i walk around a lot and pick up a lot of boxes/tv's etc.
I figured it will be good to break them in a little… or let them break me in haha

[Morose_Penguin]

For the meantime I think that they'll be wearing you rather than the other way round. it was only a few months ago that I first realised "hang on, I'm not actually climbing into these anymore". That was a good day :).

Give them hell… :).

[JamesMarg]

Will do!

[Seul]

In my case it took seven months of regular wear and two washes…

[JamesMarg]

I wore them for 6 hours at work, hardly stopped walking too.
To be honest i didn't experience any unusual pain or any discomfort at all!
Except a teeny bit sore behind the knee, but i get that with all new jeans.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm considering buying a pair of these sight-unseen for christmas, which is a terrifying prospect. (raw denim in the American midwest….it's tough)

Right now I'm in my first pair of raws, N&F Weird Guys, and I really like the fit. Based on the measurements, these should line up ok, but I'm wondering if anyone has any first-hand experience going from Weird Guys to IH? Specifically...are these or the beetle busters going to be a better match?

(my other option is to wait until next March, when I'll be in NYC....but who wants to wait that long?)

[RocknRoll]

I used to have a couple of weirdguys back in the day, and can confidently say that IH do not make a cut that is similar. The closest IH cut is probably the 301 from Selfedge.

The 666 model is awesome, but notably different from your WG cut in the following ways:

• much higher rise
• less taper from knee down

The Beatle buster has an equally higher rise, and even less taper.

The fit of IH might take you take some time to adapt to, but you will instantly notice the high quality of construction.

All the best!
