Nice one @Seul

My fist IH item, ordered from Rodeo Bros. on Rakuten.

Freebies and a hand written note:

Fit pics:

Sz 34
Waist: 34.5
Thigh: 12
Knee: 18.5
Ankle: 8.5

These are my initial measurements. I just did a hot soak this morning, and they are hang-drying on my balcony waiting for me to get off work.

Post soak fit pics and measurements coming later!

They'll shrink a little, but they also stretch if need be. Enjoy the ride, mate.

Maybe my "hot soak" wasn't neither hot enough nor long enough. I just came home from work to nice, crunchy, dry jeans with barely shrank fractions of an inch. Re-soaking NOW in hotter water, and I'll let them marinate for a little longer time.

the time is not so important.
Agitation has much more effect.

One huge thing I did notice immediately though, was that the fit is not really "slim" on me, let alone "super slim". I took the advice I saw echoed here so many times and sized for my thighs since that area isn't prone to stretching so much. Maybe my numbers were off though. Fingers still crossed though! I'm hoping for a denim miracle!

25 oz doesn't shrink much. Good thing you got them so cheap in case you decide to flip them.

Thanks for the info! I did 0 agitation during the "first initial soak". Going now to agitate!!!!!

I'll pay it forward and share the savings if I decide against them. Is there another IH pant that is more tapered from the knee to ankle?

555 or 301

[Seul]

The leg from the bottom down will fall into place after some hard wear… Mine did after barely 7 months!.. Be patient young grashopper!..

@madmonday:

555 or 301 and soon 777

.

[Giles]

Indigo/Indigo sample of 777 on it's way to me as I type…..

[Anesthetist]

Also the 633, but that 777 looks like it might be even better.

"Barely 7months….." lol. Guess I'll be buying more IH shirts to go with these jeans since my current collection of button downs and tees are too fitted to pair well. #FirstWorldProblems???

@untucked that is a proper fit on the 666-XHS they definitely come up looser than the 666s. They will look great once they settle. The 25oz denim is my favorite.

I enjoy so much about the fabric and the fit from the knee up. I'll appreciate these a lot more once I adjust my wardobe a little bit to accomodate the more generous fit

Guys, thanks for the encouragement….. After the 2nd soak, I like the fit a lot more. The "seat" area is more snug than I prefer, but I'm about to stretch it out with a nigjt of Okinawa bar-hopping. Once the gf gets off work tonight, I'll get some pics. Oh, btw I also got in my IHSH-07 AND the fit is SPOT ON, and as you all already know, the construction is next to none. Now, I finally understand why you guys seem like such huge denim-douchebags. My "standard of excellence" has been set!

[Seul]

I prefer the term denim purist, but arsehole would probably be more apt.
