@Akuma:

@D97x7 how many washes? Those look incredible! Mine are staying stubborn!

I can't really remember, but I think it's 3 machine washes at the most. Due another soon though.

Hi everyone… @Joephoto just sold me his PIH5DCS. They haven't seen water. They currently sit at 35" Inseam, I eventually want a 33" Inseam... What's everyone's recommendation for these?... Get any shrink out of the way, wear them a bit to get the creases set, then hem?

Really interested to hear if these shrink like the regular 25oz.

@Mnbiker Great score!!

IMO if you want them hemmed, get it done. I didn't get any shrink in the inseam on mine after a cold soak and this fabric takes a fair amount of wear before you're going to get any noticeable crease below the knees, if that's what you're after.  My pair are just starting to stack proper around the ankles after 6ish months of intermittent wear.  I didn't hem mine.

No matter what, you picked a great pair to rock!

I was and dry my jeans freely,so I had them hemmed accordingly. I haven’t measured,but I’m guessing I got about an inch shrinkage in the length,and they’re absolutely perfect for me. If you don’t plan on washing and or putting them into a drier then you can just have them hemmed and allow a little for when the combs form. I think Giles once said about half an inch.

Soak to get all shrinkage out, then hem. The .5” you loose with settling isn’t really an issue.

@budpatch @neph93 thank you much for the feedback.

Soak and hem makes sense… I bet these bleed just as fast as my 666sii's!..

They do bleed…and there is A LOT of blue in them.  Mine are still bleeding after months of use.  But I have only cold soaked them once prior to wear, so I guess that can be expected with an indigo this deep.

Get us some pics once you have them soaked and hemmed!

Hi everyone,

I’m considering buying these jeans, but have never had such heavy weight denim :o  - what’s the consensus in terms of sizing? Size up (and if so how much)…or not?

Thanks

I would stick with the size you normally go for (actual rather than tag). The denim will still stretch as much, and I found these to break in very easily. This denim will shrink a touch, so I would look for a starting waist size more or less where you want to end up, or 1/4-1/2'' smaller

^truth I love this denim. It breaks in very fast and is super soft. While it is good that I’ve lost a lot of weight. I am depressed that I can no longer wear my size 42 in these. Hopefully I can score ten
Approepte size one day soon

I sort of with I had sized up one, because my pair is tight, which is hard with such heavy denim.  I also gave them a preliminary hot soak with a little bit of agitation, but have been scared to put them in the machine like I normally would, because they fit like a glove.  However, if you are okay with treating your denim as extra special and soaking and line-drying and all that, you'll be fine true to size. I have the tapered cut, not this one, btw

About six months

6 months strong! Great work

Is that the Indigo/Indigo?  Looks a lot like regular XHS.  Nice fades, in any case.
