IH-888-NT - 21/23oz indigo Selvedge DWC Jeans
-
Got some extra shrinkage in the length last night… sitting in the rain at work.
-
Is that Elland Road Joe?
-
No, it’s Loftus Road.
-
Is it just me or does anyone else have baggy crotch syndrome on the front rise? Maybe that’s how they’re supposed to be or I just need to get more shrink. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
-
Yes, they do have a slight ''anti-fit'' in that area.
I like “anti-fit” hah. Thanks for clarifying.

I believe, The cut was designed to have a but if a higher rise. IH is def not a one cut fits all type of company.

It definitely was, I’m probably just used to more restrictive top blocks from years of attempting to fit myself into pants.

@steelworker your plaid shirt is pretty sweet.

Thanks Mike I like it extravagantly, sleeves are a little too long but I don't care.

How quickly will these stretch back to pre soak measurements in waist and thighs??
-
^ No guarantee they will, especially not in the thigh. But normally 10-14 days solid wear will get you all the stretch you need (or are likely to get). I’m on day four with mine, they shrunk over an inch in the waist and .4” in the thigh. Both have loosened a little but are nowhere near what they were raw yet.

That’s a decent amount of shrinkage in the thigh. Wow.

Just got my hemmed pair back from Indigo Proof. I’m Wearing them now and They are not nearly as rough and scratchy as I though they would be. The hand is very soft and they are HAIRY as hell. I love it. I’m so pleased with the fit.

Soon. Busy day with the family.

got my pair last night.
soaked for about 4hrs, machine washed for 15min, rinsed for another 15min. 5min spin dry.
- size 32 - raw / wash
- waist - 32.8 / 30.5
- front - 11.5 / 11
- rear - 16.5 / 15.5
- hem - 8 / 7.6
- inseam - 36.5 / 34.2
i think i was able to get the most shrinkage possible. waiting for it to dry up completely and start wearing it
- the after soaking/washing measurements are very similar to the 888s of size 32.
