IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[Spring Son of Light]

Is turning them inside out really necessary for just a cold soak?

[Morose_Penguin]

No, not for a soak. Only if you're machine washing do you need to turn them inside out.

[DougNg]

But it doesn't hurt and it's not that much work

My take: it's added value to turn them inside out

[Spring Son of Light]

Well I soaked these last night and am currently in an epic battle. So far, the tally goes:

25 oz: 1
Me: 0

I can barely type my fingers hurt so badly, and my hips are seriously sore. I shall persevere! I was able to button them all the way up after the cold soak (which did shrink them a wee bit). Granted, I had to do the top button lying down…

Anyways, I know I can conquer them! Just need more time. Off to scrub the indigo off my nails..

and there she stands again (after first wash)

and there he stands again (after 1/2 bottle of rum)

–-------------------------------------

Glad to see the 1/2 bottle didn't blow you down.  Great pics.  I'm surprised you washed so fast (less than 3 mos. in).  Any difference in the denim after the wash?

&Spring Son of Light: Same question; what is the difference post-soak?

thanks ponyboy,
it was a old, not sweet, single cask rum. mmmmh
–-----------------------
if got a 1 year old son, therefore (and because of my clumsiness) my close tend to get dirty quick.
plus, i don't make a fuss about washing my jeans.

no difference after the wash (wool cycle 30°C) exept of the highlights.
should have taken some before after picts.
cheers

I did not notice much difference in the denim itself, it remained pretty stiff. I got a tiny bit of shrinkage which I think was more just the weave tightening a bit. They were a tight for a few hours, so I tucked in my tee shirt to protect my hip bones. I'm on day 3 now (2 day post soak) and they feel perfect. Will post a pic in a bit after I have breakfast

Who is buying all the pairs in 32? Only 2 left, hopefully they will last the next 6 days haha

Looking good arrow. I've been wearing the shit out of mine and still gots nowhere near that much electric blue.

[trail and arrow]

i wore them a lot, because i love XHS.

cheers

G, any chance you receive some sz 34, 634-XHSs in that run? I remember reading that you weren't going to rerun them for a while, but I assumed that was because of denim supply.

Or is it because you have enough remaining stock in the other sizes that you don't want to rerun until you can make a mass order?

Not trying to grill ya; just curious.

[Giles]

Both 666-xhs and 634-xhs in all sizes have been ordered…..

[seanocono]

Stoked. Thanks, G.

Well, maybe. I am not that much into pics and stuff like that aka I suck in doing pics…
