IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Thanks for the kind words gents. I really dislike washing these things…they are so hard to get back into. I really trash them at work so into the washer they go. I haven't washed any other pair yet, not hard to believe because this is really the only pair I wear.
The patch is dog boned from stretch

Seul,
I'll be a stacker for life. (I really hope "stacker" doesn't have some other meaning in another country).
Unfortunately, I wear uniform pants to work so these only get rec time wear on nights and weekends. I usually wear low-profile sneakers outside of work so I can leave them unhemmed.
I did wear these with boots due to the awful NY weather the past few days, but admittedly, the stacking did not look great.

Rock the stacks…looking good. -
Nice fit PSB. I'm like Seul in that I think the stacks look straight on you, but couldn't do 'em myself. I do not where sneakers at all, don't even own a pair, and my shoes tend to be more of the full welt variety. Even at my most relaxed pair, stacks don't work with moccasins. It does work well for you though.

Thanks guys.
I'm really loving this denim. The Haddtoo and LN examples excluded for obvious reasons, I'm really pleasantly surprised by how stingy the 25oz is giving up indigo. I have a few select spots of bright blue starting to show, but overall still very dark.
PS: For anyone else whose spouse laughed at them when asked for fit pics, I found that taking a video on the iPhone allowed for screenshot selection.

PSB,
Funny you mention it, I just asked her to help me get some better picks and once I explained why she was just like "Yeah, whatever, it's just some pictures" She giggled at first when they were 100% fresh and board butt was in full effect, now that they are starting to shape she likes them more and more. This should make selling future acquisitions a lot easier.

My fiancé would have taken the pics, but she also would not hesitate to lampoon me with that story at a party in front of all our friends. Never afraid to take a cheap shot; one of the reasons I love her.
In all seriousness, she is actually really happy I take pride in my clothes. She would never dream of trying to buy me clothes like her friends do for their men and we both like it that way.
When I explained the 25oz denim, she rolled her eyes, but now she insists that everyone feel my 666XHS when we're out. And that's not awkward at all.

PSB,
It's things like your fiancee's ribbing I hope you can still appreciate in 10 years. It keeps things fresh, point in case when I got my Kromer cap she was the first to tell me how much she liked it, but the first time in public wearing it and my Bemidji together and she is the first with Elmer Fudd swipes. She loves the stuff, but can't resist poking at me. In my opinion anyone who recognizes the importance of quality over quantity in something as ingrained, yet totally menial as clothing choice is more likely to appreciate the quality of work a marriage takes.

Thanks Rafa! I just posted about the IHW-01 in Shirting. I'm glad you decided to let it go. Pairs up nicely with the 666XHS.
Jdl1279,
My fiancé and I dated for more than six years before we got engaged and I can honestly say that her playful shit-talking is one of my favorite things about our daily life together. It keeps me on my toes and allows me to make jokes at her expense with a clear conscience.
