IH-555S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo

[David_pll]

I had already decided to wash them before posting on here, just thought I would join in.

3 months is enough for me to know that they need a wash, plus I wanted to get them hemmed again (and know that SE will only do that with clean jeans)

I rarely wash my jeans, and yes it sounds plausible that they don´t last as long as frequently washed jeans, BUT, i have 14oz Nudie jeans i have worn 500-600 days without wash and still holding on just fine. My jeans doesn't smell worse after 500 days without wash, compared to 8 weeks of wear without wash.

I wash my work jeans….soak everything else or use a spray bottle to spot soak a baggy waist

Even if I represent a minority in this topic, I do wash every pair of jeans before wearing it at 30° (Celsius) gently in the washing machine. The raw ones as well and they're getting softer without losing any of their gorgeous appearance but lose the starch and the raw-odour. At first I was scared to do so but absolutely nothing happens and it increases the lifespam of the denim. Cheers!

Ha, the "raw odour" is something I particularly like about a new pair of raw denims. I often thought I could be an element in a new men's fragrance, marketed on the brand name of a good jeans maker…... Can I copyright this idea?

Another point is the indigo-bleeding which I'm not a fan of at all. After ~ 2 washes it's almost gone.

I've lost a ton of weight in the last 2 months. Any telling when these will be available in either a 33 or 34 again?

[Dion]

Go for the 777, @FilthyBloodJunkie, they have nearly the same fit but a better fitting top-block. The awesome 21 oz denim is the same.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Thanks. But I kind of like the top block on the 555,and the navy arcs, hence why I wanted them over the 777.

[Dion]

I liked the stealth-arcs as well but had to sell my 555-01 because it became way too big in the top (the diaper butt got only bigger). I'm still mesmerzied by the denim though.

Restock 8-10 weeks

I suspect that this has might have been covered in this thread before, but heck.. Ever thought about overdying some 555-01's, IH-crew?

[Giles]

I think about what to overdye all the time!!!

[Miiks]

That's what I like to hear..

[JerUrsidae]

Somewhere around a 2 years of wear. Not sure how many washes….

Doubtful. That fabric was what was made before the loom broke. The loombreakers broke the loom, so more selvedge duck for you. Although I suspect a 555 fit in duck could be re-named The Ballbreaker….

I have unbreakables balls, and i'am ready to try a sample
