PIH5DCT - 25oz Indigo/Indigo Selvedge Denim Tapered Cut
-
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)
-
How are the 25oz jeans coming along? What made you go for such thick jeans?
"Beauty is pain" or something like that lol
-
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.
-
Happy to hear SG!
-
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.

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?
-
Well I finally was able to get them on an button them up completely. These things are amazing. Insanely stiff and a little tight but not uncomfortably. Thank you again @Alex for helping with sizing these things are perfect
-
Word of advice to anyone about to pick some of these up - if you CAN button the top button when you first get them, they're too big and you need to size down. I ended up getting my actual tag size and, 4 wears in after a cold-soak, I can button the top button!
