PIH5DCS - 25oz Indigo/Indigo Selvedge Denim Slim Cut
-
@fanya @Vagrant I saw your posts in the DWC thread but didn't want to derail it with my questions… your pairs appear to be the most worn out of all of them, plus @gosha above…
So I was wondering did your pairs soften up like the typical 25oz XHS does? I'm sure Fanya knows what I mean...
I have been wearing mine the past week and they seem so rough and not soft, and I am debating on whether I should keep wearing them or keep on with my 888s. They might just be rougher than usual because I soaked the fuck out of them and every pair of 25oz XHS I have had before I wore raw for at least 6 to 8 months before they saw any water at all.
I like these because of the weight. But the hand does not seem as soft. But then again I am borderline brain dead, so I could be mis- remembering how the 25oz denim feels. I love the fit of the 888s but it is cold as hell outside and the 25 oz is way warmer... so it is a toss up. It sucks because both pairs are so nice I feel like I can't commit to either or and I keep going back to just wearing my overalls anyway. But people remark at how I wear them every day so i need to wear something else.

Thanx mang

Mine softened up after 30 wears in warm humid weather.

you aint kiddin man. i wore them during the summer and early fall here when i was bartending and serving and it was rough. more than a few nights i was chiding myself for being so foolish. but i kept doing it.

Haha

I know what you mean… I wore my UHR BB's through a long Indian summer a couple of years ago. They were new and I was dumb. It was like having your own personal sauna to walk around in. Kept doing it though. I invested in some 17oz denim the following spring...
-
One night I was actually angry that I was wearing them. Put me In a foul mood. But I did over and over…
Yeah, fortunately and Unfortunately they are way too big on me now. I hope I can snag a 36 or a 38 in these someday from somebody. Damn I miss wearing them.

I just tried mine on and they're tight, like Tuco "tight." Tight. But I'll persevere because I'm born-again hard.
-
They do. It's been so long since I broke in my 25oz I can't remember which if one was faster than the other, but they get comfy fast. These were harder for me personally though because it is such a slim cut while the 25oz cut I had in the BB would be considered roomy compared to these. It's a few months in and they are good to go now.
-
Thanks Fanya! Ready for these to get like sweatpants asap.
-
@Filthy 21/23oz junkie yeah, keep at 'em, mate. Personally, this denim has been the easiest denim to break in i've ever owned - but that could be because i sized up. I remember thinking how they felt like sweatpants after 3 weeks of solid wear.
-
Thank you.

You're getting a good fade there Twin. That's a nice jacket too.

Sweet outfit. But that’s about as unsafe as you can get trimming a tree. One foot on ladder, one foot on skinny tree, holding shears. Wasn’t there at least a power line you could have grabbed on to??
