PIH5DCT - 25oz Indigo/Indigo Selvedge Denim Tapered Cut
-
I feel like the indigo/indigo 25oz that these are made of breathes a little better than the regular XHS. I still don't think it is for most folks a comfortable denim for summer. The flagship 21oz iron heart denim is to my mind the most breathable heavyweight fabric they offer. I wear my 634s in the summer, all the time.

Hi IH'ers, my first post. Been lurking for awhile now but had to come in here to share just how amazing these jeans are.
Not quite a month in and they've broken in real nicely. Gave them a quick hot soak and have been wearing them every day since. This denim behaves entirely unlike the regular 25oz. It just feels so much softer and fuzzier, still heavy as hell but these were incredibly comfortable from the start. I even found the initial buttoning up far easier with these than the 666-xhs.
Already some noticeable fading around the knees.
Can't wait to see how everyone else's pairs evolve over time, this thread is going to be legendary soon.

Great post.

does the 25oz has a relatively tight or loose weave? e.g. comfortable for summer?
I just wore mine today while working the London Marathon, walked about 12 miles carrying 40lbs worth of camera equipment. Felt fine…

So will these fit me? I can't button the top button? Haven't bought jeans in a minute

If not, 32w 31 inseam will be up for sale real soon.
I couldn't button my top button for the first 2 days. After a soak and leaving a pen in the top hole to dry was able to do it. Go for it man. I've noticed a decent amount of give to mine

@peregrine those stacks are lookin great man. How tall are you and did you hem them? I'm struggling to decide how much to take off mine or if I even should

Thanks. I'm 5'7" with a 30.5" inseam. They have not been hemmed. This pair measured 36.5" pre soak and shrunk down to just under 35" post hot soak. After some wear the length is now at 33" (1.5" from the cuff and the rest hidden in the combs). Perfect length for stacks.

Guess I just need to wear mine more to lose a little more length from the combs

I'm about the same height and inseam and snagged a pair of tag 36 with 35.9 (and corresponding) measurements but mine look way wider in the leg even after a hot soak. Maybe I need to wear them in the tub and let them dry on me for the next one. Yours look way better than mine.

I also should have mentioned I wear a W29.

Was taking off my jeans today and noticed that the top button was pretty bent… Is this normal?
-
Not normal…..
I didn't think so… Now I'm bummed that I must have gotten a detective pair

Well, it's only an issue if it fails…...
Fair point, but it's kind of upsetting especially when I paid 400+ for these jeans…

I wore a samurai for the Hdc for 2 years with a button like this and it didn't fail me.

That's what happens when the waist of the jeans is to small and one in forcing it to stretch (ether through wearing or mechanical impact), IMO.
