        Good choice, but be prepared to think you were wrong after soaking them….feel the pain.....persevere......love your jeans (in about a month  😃 ).

          Yeah I’m totally prepared for the second guessing. So far I’ve bought 2 pair of IH denim a tad too big. Wearable and comfortable and awesome. But big. I’m going for it.

          Thanks Bud

            I have no idea whether putting vinegar anywhere will make the jeans softer.  I do know however, that vinegar retarding fading is an old wives tale, as is sea washing being good for fades.

              My pair is drying after a 1.5 hour hot soak and a 40 deg wash w/o spin. In a few places, there are tiny marks and dents like these. I suspect I mashed the jeans in too much and should have checked that they were more smoothed out in the drum.

              Ah well, I think it’ll only be noticable by me. Luckily there are no long lines or major spots that have faded…

                That kind of thing is pretty much unaviodable. As you say it’s barely visible and when the jeans start fading will be gone. What you want to avoid is that kind of thing, but writ large, long and fat up and down half a leg. Sounds like you did great!

                  NT arrived today and the cut is even better than I hoped. Great work IH crew. Denim does look a little darker than the old UHR and i think this run is a little,  only a little, easier to button. Or  the IH denim I wear is giving me fingers of steel.
                  The contest tee is the cat's ass.  I should have gone for 2 I'm sure this one will be borrowed never to be seen again.

                  Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                  Well, I have others.

                    Thanks a bunch Neph. Figured there would be some marks with denim this heavy and abrasive… Now to wait for them to dry and feel the pain of stretching the waist.

                    Hopefully I got most of the shrinkage out. Haven’t measured them yet but they have definitely shrunk in length!

                        Quick (lousy) fit pics while still damp. I have a feeling these will be perfect once I stretch the waist. Already bruising my hip, though.

                        Had them hemmed to 31,5" and once the knees set the length will be just right for a single tiny turn up like I planned.

                        Notice the indigo transfer to the patch. Can't figure out if cool or just ugly…

                              Thank you!

                              And yeah, post soak. I guess I could have gone one size more down, but I think this is the goldilock zone for me. I have great mobility, but it does not look big. Feels great!

                                On another note fun to see two obviously Scandinavian homes in both your pics [emoji1]

                                    Little bit more shrinkage plus a hem and they will be perfect.
                                    There is a bit of me that will be upset when they get filthy at work on Monday.

                                        @Lucifer and @spitfiredealer the fit looks spot on to me.

                                        @Giles will the 888 in the 16oz black denim have the measurements of this NT-model or of the 888s in 21oz?
