PIH5DCT - 25oz Indigo/Indigo Selvedge Denim Tapered Cut

[Jordonf9]

I am jealous I can't make either cut work of the 25 double indigo. These are going to create some stellar fades.

Yeah, can we fast forward a year or so? I can't wait to see a well-worn pair.

Hi guys! 30 days of wear. About 170 km passed on foot

One soak. One machine wash at the beginning and I really regret that I did it because there were small scrapes in uncharacteristic places. Now only hand washing ))

Sorry, I confused the topic. I have a PIH5DCS

Decisions, decisions. I wear a 34 in 634s, but a 36 that is loose in the DWCxUHR. Which size for me on these? Suggestions?

[thincrustpizza]

34 should get you there. I have 634 in 34 and these in 33.

[ShootThePier]

@thincrustpizza thank you for reinforcing my thoughts.
Now I'm gonna ask more questions.
Any inseam shrinkage?
Anybody doing stacks without a cuff. I prefer not to cuff, but don't know if this denim is too stiff. @gosha looks like his were hemmed or long legged.

[thincrustpizza]

@ShootThePier Uh idk about inseam shrinkage - i didn't measure that. I stack mine and dig it real good though.

[Fadez]

Hey guys. I don't think I got as much inseam shrinkage with a super hot soak that I thought I would. I usually have a 33" inseam with a little stack going on. I bought my 34" and stack. Here is a recent pic form the WAYWT.

[ShootThePier]

Looking good. Probably better to start long and go short if I need to.

[ShootThePier]

Thank you for the input.
Ordered the 34w, inseam hemmed to 34. Measurements pre and post with fit pics to follow.

anyone found other ways to hang the iron heart dog tag haha.

it keeps falling off and i'm afraid i'll lose it..

the hole is too small to attach to the brass ring

[Fadez]

Haha not really. Mine rests in a drawer with all my IH memorabilia

[Matty123]

Yeah I'm Having the same issue. The key ring is cool but I don't find it practical. It doesn't easily come off
The belt loop. It's more of a keepsake for me. I'm sticking with current keychain.

[Fadez]

Just from a hike today

[ShootThePier]

Matt @ IH hooked me up with a great pair, and amazing service. Thank you!

The denim is very nice. I'm stoked I grabbed em, even with three other 25oz waiting for more wear.
I got a little bit of a surprise in the hips. Most of my other IH is 36, and with my current exercise routine the 36s have all gotten baggier in the waist and thighs. I never considered baggieness, or lack thereof, in the hips. Regardless, I can button them all the way up, but my hips give the denim resistance, even when pulling them on.
I noticed some earlier comments where there was stretch from a cold water soak. I may try that this weekend. If ithat doesn't work, gonna have to go old fashioned and let them slowly loose the battle to my body shape. Damn, this denim is solid, and beautiful to feel and see.
I think the reason for my hip issue is from playing hockey so many years.

[ShootThePier]

No soak yet.

[Fadez]

Nice job getting the stacks to somewhat settle. This pair is a hard beast to tame

[ShootThePier]

I hear that. "Rigid" does not do them justice. I have only worn them around the house, and while taking the dog for a walk, but the negotiations between my flesh and denim is going well. I am happy I sized down.

[thincrustpizza]

hell yea. looks great.

Unusually cool temps for NYC this time of year,no worries,can wear my 25OZ denim. Loving these jeans. Looking forward to living in them next fall.
