PIH5DCT - 25oz Indigo/Indigo Selvedge Denim Tapered Cut

[neph93]

@Giles:

Sanforised no wash.  I suspect the normal 1/2 - 1" shrinkage in the waist and 1-1.5" in the leg.

Wow. To paraphrase Mr Pacino, just when I thought I was out, you pulled me back in. I was going to restrict myself to the new cut this year. That may not happen now.

How much will they stretch out after initial soak/wash?

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

How much stretch is kind of an unknown variable considering this is a new material. It is reasonable to suppose that they will stretch about .75 to 1.25 inches in the waist and an equal percentage in the other areas, depending on how snug the fit is on you. Just like the other sanforized 25 oz denim. For these stretch is a good thing because they will become more comfortable after about 3 to 6 weeks if you wear them daily (taking into account that this is a slim fit).

I never got more than 1" stretch from my 634 XHS, which I why I don't really wear them anymore. You'll want the extra room. Size up if you're on the fence. You'll appreciate it in the future.

interesting that the waist didn't shrink a whole lot.

@Jett129:

Because of credit card issues(Have to have International purchases pre approved) If I'm not at home by a computer when they actually go live,I might get shut out. Happened twice this season with shirts,but fortunately SENY got them. Obviously no retailers are getting these. Might be one of those "Bun Fights" Giles speaks of.

My discover card won't let me pay when I try to use it by itself.

I can use paypal to pay with the same discover card.

Moral of the story, use paypal.

This is the first pair of prontos I could have fit in, but damn if I'm going to have to pass.  Just ordered the 634pd, my pocket book can't take another 500$ hit, and I have no idea when I'd wear them.  Too many jeans, too much money

I was thinking the same thing. One could possibly get a little more shrinkage with agitation?

Hey @Giles, I was curious what made you/ the Pronto guys decide to go for a hank dyed weft. From your experience how does hank dyed fabric behave differently from regular rope dyed?

[Giles]

Because I thought it would be a cool thing to do something that we had not done before.

Hank dyed weft (well actually, cheese or cone dyed, in this case) does not have a white centre like rope dyed, so the fade characteristics of the denim will be different (How so?  No idea - ask me in 6 months)….

[Mario3309]

Cool, thanks

[mikebarhoot]

So when the 40 experimental pics gonna surface?  Or i need to check my mailbox?

[Giles]

Probably the same day that the jeans go live…

[mikebarhoot]

Still no pics. Who in IH camp is a 40?  Need to "BRO" em.
