IH-555-02 - 18oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo

@Finn oh the old thighs issue lol These are a size 36, so the waist is quite lose, but comfy enough to tuck a shirt into if I wear them on my weekly trip into the office. The thighs measured 13.4 pre-soak and measured right at 13.1 after soak - perfect for me and easy to bend/squat down. Not sure I will be spotting anyone on Back Squats or demo-ing power cleans wearing these though haha.
I only did a 15 min warm soak, so I know there is more shrink left in these, but I wanted to make 100% sure I could pull them off before I shrunk the heck out of them.
In reality, some people would consider these "upsized" for me, but I actually did that on purpose. My thighs and hamstrings are rather large, so I needed the knee measure to work with me. These did the trick. I chose the 02 just to have a variety of IH fabrics, but I'm sure there would have been a pair or two of the -01 that would have fit me as well.

Appfaff those are going to look great once they settle and get a proper hem. I think D666 does the same thing in sizing up on these. They are a really great pair of jeans. . . .
need to stop reading the forum in traffic, hahaha

april 2014 shots cause after i wash these in another few weeks i think i'm gonna get them "fixed" & put away for the summer. hopefully after summer they fit me better than they do now. i'm getting fat as f^ck:

How long have you been wearing these, and how often do you give them a wash? They look amazing.

thanks all
been wearing about a year between repairs & "stuff" & i wash them every 2 to 3 months so i think i've washed them maybe 4 or 5 times. . . . sorry i keep horrible records. only way i can really tell is by looking through this thread

Can't even explain how much I am enjoying these. I remember my first pair of unsanforized denim, A pair of warehouse 660s, and wearing these brings me back to those days. For bigger guys that want a clean look, these are perfect. Snug leg with a relaxed top block. A true athletic mans fit if sized correctly.
