Just received my first pair of IH's. 666-XHS sz32. First wear fit pics. A little low quality but whatever. I already freakin love these jeans.

@ashtonsanders91 All-in with the heaviest denim in a classic cut. Congrats!

[Seul]

Great choice - best jeans in the world…

Stellar fit!

How many inches inseam should be left for shrinkage/combs? 2?

[Giles]

Perhaps not even that much, but this denim looks fine stacked.  My actual inseam is 34, I wear the 37" version straight off the shelf

Like the fit and fade a lot. If you continue to give them hell, they're gonna look hot  in a year or two…

Man I can't wait to get back into mine full time. It has been unseasonably warm to be working in 25oz denim

Thank you,I've lost 5kg in the last half year and now they became  actually comfortable.I can  again enjoying 25oz

@Oleg you finally pushed me over the edge on these with your pics. Hopefully with all the sizing and measuring help I got from @Sam (in the middle of all the UHF release madness, no less) my pair will fit as well as yours. Fingers crossed!

[xtcclassic]

Yay!!!

Fit pics, pre-soak.

These remind me a lot of my SEXIHXLSXA13's when they were new. The denim is so thick and rigid and dark. I didn't have quite as tough of an experience as some people have (I re-read this whole thread in anticipation of receiving these and I'm still laughing over @Seul 's comments when he first got his pair), but this denim is no joke. It's going to take me forever to tame these things. Next pics will be after a soak/wash and a full day's wear.

25oz look really good hemmed to length with no cuff.

@xtcclassic:

Yeah, disregard that. I went ahead and gave them a gentle wash with some agitation to soften the denim up a bit, and afterward I figured I'd put them on wet to help stretch the waist more quickly. It was an epic struggle. I got the middle fly button buttoned, but the other two fly buttons weren't happening. I didn't think I was going to get the top button buttoned either, but after an exhausting life-or-death struggle, I succeeded. I wore them for about 20 minutes, and all was well (-ish) until I decided to take them off. I had a prolonged moment of panic as I quickly realized the 25 oz denim was in control of the entire situation all along. They were NOT coming off, because the top button was NOT going to allow itself to be unbuttoned. I honestly thought I was going to be "sleeping" in wet 25 oz denim. After another life-or-death struggle, I managed to free myself. It was like a scene from The Exorcist lol. "The power of Christ compels you!!!"

They're hanging on my closet door drying now. I'm a little nervous about sleeping in the same room with them.

^ This is excellent stuff Love The Exorcist reference. Although to be fair, it is called The Devil's Fit…

Ah yes, that moment when you can't tell if the blue discoloration on your fingers is indigo, or bruising from fighting the buttons. I will be interested to hear your experiences with your hips and the back of your knees. LOL I know my hips were bruised and pretty raw for a bit. Welcome to the struggle xtc!
