IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
I thought I would offer an update on my break-in process. On Wednesday and Thursday, I put the jeans on when I got home from work, so I only got a few hours of wear in, but they became much easier to button / unbutton in that brief time. They're obviously stiff, but I didn't find them uncomfortable at all.
On Friday, I put them on after work, slept in them (intentionally), woke up on Saturday and went to meet my fiancé in Manhattan. Well… after walking around the city all day, I can say this: the struggle is real, my friends. I'm sporting some battle scars in the form of cuts and scrapes on the back side of my knees. The friction in that crease was noticeably worse than anywhere else, in that it was noticeable at all.
I researched these considerably before I bought them so I knew might encounter some break-in pain, but what doesn't really translate from other people's experiences is how truly exceptional these jeans are. They are rugged, but also comfortable and warm (this was appreciated on the especially windy city blocks).
I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

I felt like I was taking crazy pills, so I searched Superfuture and found multiple people who say that TTS should always refer to the tagged size and not the measurements. I guess there's not a universal definition for this term.
Just saw that and had to reply. It's simple: Size charts are there for a reason. I know that the perfect waist for me is 35" so I choose a raw pair with a mesured 35-36" waist presoak or 34-35" in a onewash or sanforized model. That means TTS for me and I think all other forum people I know. When choosing said 35" means to pick up a tagged 32 (I did that) or a tagged 36 (did that too) - I don't care. Confusion might come in here:
- it's a difference wether you go TTS (as a person)
- or if jeans fit TTS (as product). If a jeans fits TTS you are right and have to assume that a tagged 34 equals a 34 waist. But it's mostly used in "I went TTS in these" and that means you get your right size, regardless of the number on the tag.

I am one of those who refer to the tag size.
So if I am size 35 waist and a pair tagged with 33 but measures 35", then I say that I sized down 2. Just beause the jeans run big in the first place.But like MaxP said: Size charts are there for a reason
-
I wish I would have sized up (or would it be TTS?) on these. It's hard to wear them a whole day.

Did some light construction in mine… What do you guys think about the fit?
This is about three months.. but I wear a uniform at work, so not much wearThe jeans are a bit tight i the crotch area... I have some difficulties walking up steep stairs and I usually dont keep anything in my pockets
-
Its about 3 months.. Ive soaked them twice, so the shrinkage is under control
Yes, theyre kinda tight at the top, but I dont think I would be comfortable with a size-up, I think theyre baggy enough already
The most irritating thing, is that the jeans will probably never be really comfortable because of that

I'm in the same boat as ropeadope. The crotch and the creases of my hips are the trouble areas. I also don't know how much more they will stretch, but it has gotten a little better.
