IH-634S-18 - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

I've got a month of good solid wear on these and they haven't softened up a whole lot honestly.  These are tough ones.  About due for their first wash though and signs of fades in their infancy are popping up.

That's really weird. All my other IH denim either started out soft or got there pretty quickly. I wonder what makes this denim so different in that respect. It's still cotton after all. Mind you I'm not complaining, I think it's pretty cool actually, to have a pair of IH that's that different than the rest of my IH jeans, and I can't wait to see a well-worn pair. The fades are gonna be killer.

Oh I know, I was thinking the same thing regarding most IH fabrics starting out or getting soft quickly. I don't know why it is either and I'm not complaining as it's different like you said, and honestly it's only super crispy by IH standards as I've had plenty of jeans that are much crispier by other brands.  Either way I am really loving these.

What are they famous for again? (Serious question)

[Giles]

6 weeks in of daily wear and one cold wash.  These bad boys are still crunchy and crispy.  Mine don't look as good as @Giles do as far as fades go but I'll post some pics up this weekend for the hell of it.

yes they are still awesome.

Do you guys get most denim woven at Shinya or do you work together with multiple different mills? Sorry if this has already been asked.

[Giles]

This is the first time we have used Shinya….

Sounds like it was a good experience resulting in a great denim, no?
