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

[jdl1279]

Just over a week in and kinda surprised by how these are breaking in. Fit and comfort are perfect for what I like. Where I am and where I am not seeing contrast and stress is where my surprise is kicking in. My belt line is crazy, but I where one if I have pants on so not a huge thing. My lap creases and combs are set and starting to see some pretty hues peeking through, to the extent that I am a bit surised in how much I can see. Seat wear is noticeable as well, and there is nice contrast starting on the centermost rivets. What I am not seeing is any real stress on the crotch, no real friction, or contrast on seam edges at all. I am not complaining, just surprised given some of the positions I have already put these in.

Looking at all of the belt wear did make me realize something else though. I want a indigo dyed roughout belt.

@superfuzz:

You guys are crazy! Just wear 'em!

Crazy…in a good way

Felt like this thread needed some love today. The comfort level in these just increases by the day, really have become my favorite denim thus far.

This last one, though I won't get too detailed, was too good not to share. After running the trash out the Mrs says let me get one with you in the jacket. As I assume the position, she tells a very inside dirty joke, just to capture this face….

It took several minutes to quit laughing, but her timing made this all the better, a split second later and the shot would have been fouled by me doubling over in laughter.

While such CAN be true, I have several photos that disprove your hypothesis. It's a fine line, and I am ok with crossing it though

I'm washing mine next week. One year since its last wash (9 months of wear, fucking summer man)… Was gonna hold out til June (30 month anniversary) but they're dirty...

I'm expecting good things 

[jdl1279]

I know it's likely in here somewhere, but where did you fall with your first?

[Seul]

My first wash, you mean?..

[jdl1279]

yes

Probs June 2012 (been wearing them since Nov 2011)…

I don't think a blowout will be much issue for me, so I was hoping a long enough run could be made in them

[Haddtoo 555]

I have to wash mine to

[Haddtoo 555]

wish mine still looked like that 

Thanks App

Mine are on the line drying….I'll post a pic before they go back to the daily grind

Haddtoo, can't wait. No ideas how they'll look. Did they keep the yellow, or did they go white???

@jdl, how quickly the Mrs gets on board with the idea of the odd pick eh? Great wife if she's got you laughing for a shot. high five.

Snowman,

For me, she's like the extinct page. Everyone wants something from it, or one just like yours, but there isn't another to be found.

haddtoo 555, those are among the 5 best IH pairs I've seen so far. Awesome.

[jdl1279]

PP,

If it makes you feel better I'll post mine. Yours own mine, and likely by the time mine get there you'll be closer to Hads level. Otherwise I'll wait and bury them on the next page

So mine were washed and as is always the case I am disappointed with the outcome.

3 more years…  :-\
