      What up fellow 25ers!

      It's been 4 yrs since I've been back on the forum, but also 4yrs since I've rocked any other jeans then the IH-666-XHS Devils. I thought I would post a couple snaps of these 3 bears - 4 yrs, 2 yrs, new. None have really been washed. Only a handful of antibac soap soaks for the oldest. My freshness secret is to hang them out, protected, a couple times a month on the coldest Minnesota frozen winter nights (-15 plus windchill)! Works incredibly.

      Also, I need to get my new pair hemmed. I brought my new pair of 25oz Devils to BlackBlue, a denim specialist boutique in St Paul, MN. They have an incredible Union Special 43200G chainstitcher. Super cool store and the owner, Steve, was a big fan of the IH-666's and totally got it. However, he kindly  (understandably) deferred his services, not want risk detuning the machine on these denim beasts for one alteration. So I got some long ass jeans all rolled up.

      Any recommendations for OG chainstitching craftmanship on 25oz the USA? I believe I sent my previous pairs to somewhere out west (Seattle)?

      Thanks peoples!

      I put my pants on just like the rest of you – one leg at a time. Except, my pants are 25 oz denim...

        Those all looks amazing!  Check out Indigo Proof in PDX for mail in chainstitch hemming. They can easily work with 25oz

              I've had my XHS for over a year but haven't had a chance to really break them in yet - until now. Wondering if anyone has an estimate for how long my hip/top block region will be suffering until these get softer. I've had 18oz and 22oz denim before, but this is something else. On top of that driving makes me feel like I'm losing the ability to ever have kids. Oh well, the pics in this thread keep me going.

                      They'll look great after a wash. And probably smell better [emoji38] They'll also last longer.

                          I bet! Your jeans, your rules, but I'd think about a hot wash. The only time I let my jeans go over 4 months without a wash the smell was hard to get rid of. 60C might be a good idea.

                                            Morning gang,
                                            I'm plan to order a pair today but I'm torn between two sizes, tag sizes 30 and 31. The issue is not the waist but the thigh. For the thighs to fit perfectly they need to stretch to 11.25 at least.  That seems a bit too much for a 10.8 thigh in the TagSize 30s.  However, a 31-32 inch waist is perfect and the 30.7 inch waist on the Tag Sizemore 30s should get to that point and I don't want the 31.6 waist on the 31s to get beyond 33.  These jeans are for the long haul and I want to make the right choice.

                                            It all comes down to the stretch, 10.8 inch thighs would be very tight so I need some veteran advice.

                                            Thanks
