IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[Jeansman]

I have the UHR (21/23 oz) and the XHS (25 oz) and I like both. The UHR initially feels quite rough but softens up after a while. The XHS is darker and a bit heavier but seems to 'breathe' better, so I guess is less tightly woven. My XHSs are evolving nicely with over 7 months' fairly constant wear. The UHRs have had much less wear so I don't yet know how they will fade. If you don't shorten them, the UHRs I've got (1955, 634 and 666) come up shorter than the 634 and 666 XHSs.

I have walked many a mile in my new 25 ouncers, and fit in the critical area has improved. There is no new or additional room, but the crotch area has become pliable (as well as electric blue), which helps. Glad I stuck with them.

In other news, picked up a Flat Head western flannel, a photo of which I may post to the appropriate thread.

Got my pair today.  Wow.  My first experience with 14+ ounce denim.  Will definitely need to soften them up a bit and get the button fly comfortably working before I wear them out.  Looking forward to breaking them in!

How do they feel when you've got them on?

New 25oz,  after soak (cold water,  3 hours). Wearing them now,  the initial cardboard feeling went away within minutes. 
Great pair of jeans,  I love them.  Didn't wear the 25oz in quite a while,  must say they're IH's best denim.

@Andreas1965:

I agree, my first pair of IH (let alone raw selvedge denim) was the XHS 634's and so far nothing has rivaled them.

Although the sbg is going to be interesting once I get them on for the competition

The fit will change a bit after a hot soak or hot wash in the machine.

My IH-634XHS, 27th December 2014, just before their second wash. Bought in February, one soak, one machine wash with very mild detergent (that didn't clean them very well). Worn frequently but not every day.

Pics post their second wash will have to wait, I'm afraid!

@TrickHell "page 38" means nothing.  People can change their "posts per page" setting in their profile…Better to add a link....

[Giles]

Link does not work

BUT, I wear the same size in 666-XHS and 634-XHS and 666S and 634S and 666D.

Question for the experts. I just noticed the chain stitch on my 634xhs has worn through in the right heel area on the inside. Outside looks fine. I do not cuff these. Is this something that should be repaired so the stitch doesn't unravel, or just keep wearing them?
Thanks

[Giles]

I'd leave the chain stitching where it is and hand stitch over the existing - does not need to be neat, all you are doing is trying to stop the existing stitching coming undone.

[Sage954]

Thank You. I will try that.
