    Ever since I've gotten in to raw denim I've kept a towel on my truck seat lol.  I wash it once a week and it's actually quite surprising the amount of Indigo that rubs off on to the towel every week even when wearing a pair of Cones or other slow bleeders.

      indigo bleeds are great and add goodness to your other clothing, seats, sofas, etc  😉

        Even tho I didn't get a pair of these, I'd put them thru my usual wash routine for new denim, to get the extra shrink out as well as any extra indigo.

        Basically: inside-out, front load machine (no agitator), wash hand cycle, mild liquid detergent, cold water, no spin; then a 1 minute or so slow spin just to get excess water out, and then hang dry. Then I do it all over again a 2nd time, with hot water. Sometimes I might do a 3rd hot wash, right-side out. I've also found ironing after hang drying helps the denim relax and hang better. Also, I've started using Obenauf's Leather Oil on patches before I wash. It darkens the patch a lot, but I think it'll extend the life a long time, as I wash frequently.

        I've done it on several pairs now, and have had no discernible loss of indigo darkness, and no crease lines. It does reduce the amount of indigo bleeding considerably, depending on the pair.

        Sorry for derailing the discussion… Still messmerized by these thing! carry on!  😛

          Yeah I'll be hot soaking them for sure with some agitation to get rid of as much shrink as possible. Most of my furniture is dark brown so hopefully my parents wont notice haha but I have a feeling I'm going to make some of my professors mad by turning their chairs blue haha

          All I want is some dope jeans and some dope people to share them with

              Welp, I didn't want to purchase 1-hour Progressive Cold-Soak Denim insurance, but I'm trying to take less risks in my old age.

              Don't you go a-shrinkin', little buddies.

              (fingers crossed)

                    Just got mine from UPS 2 seconds ago. Holy these things are stiff but look sooooo amazing. Shout out to Alex for measuring the pairs so I got the best ones for me

                      I might have to pull on the waist when they wet a little though because it was a struggle to button the top one pre soak

                        No problem, @IndigoNoob
                        Let us know how you get on post soak. The stiffness of the denim can make you think they are tighter than they are, so if the rest of the fit is good, persevere!

                          Signed up just to follow this thread. They're my first 25oz with the previous heaviest pair i had being the 301s. The weight and stiffness of fabric definitely feels substantial - borderline insanity as people would comment, as we lived in Singapore (tropical climate, warm and humid all year round).

                          Oh what a small esoteric circle here.

                            Three days in after my cold soak and loving these! STILL can't quite get the top button done, but I have faith that I'll prevail…sometime...soon...hopefully.

                            The weight and density of them makes everything else seem...quiet.

                            Here's a hump-day shot of my hump. Love the "marquee" arcs!

                              Yeah when I tried them on presoak they felt great everywhere else and based of Giles shrink test I'll be golden. It probably was just the stiffness that made it feel tighter than I thought. I'm doing it today since I worked yesterday after school so we will see soon enough

                                I was really afraid these were going to be too tight after my soak, but once I persevered in the struggle of buttoning them up, the fit has been perfect.  I think they may end up being an easier break-in than the regular 25oz. Still super-stiff, but after the first couple of days it's only getting better and better.

                                    really looking forward to getting this if it gets restocked!

                                    anyone own this and the 777XHS 25oz?

                                    i tried a pair of them in size 34 and they fit perfectly!

                                    not sure whether they will be a somewhat similar cutting with the PIH5DCT

                                      I'd say the only true of knowing is comparing the measurements of "your" jeans and then you'll have an idea.
                                      My 666 25oz, 666 21oz, and PIHDCS jeans all fit slightly differently, yet they are similar cuts. I will echo that my DCS have had the best fit out of the gates compared to the other two jeans in that style. In fact I just soaked my DCS today and let them dry and they still fit great. I only had to do a few deep lunges.

                                      Enjoy.

                                      Ohhhhhh that constitutional stitching!

                                        Finding that too on the DCS version. I soaked today and let dry. I put on with the waistband slightly damp so it had some give. No need really.

                                          Anyone who has the XHS or worn these enough for combs, since the denim is so thick, do you "lose" some inseam length from the combs?
