IH-666R-14 - Indigo 14oz Sanforised but Unwashed Selvedge Denim Slim Cut Jeans

[Giles]

The S and the R versions are exactly the same jean, it's just that the S has been one-washed.  If the S does not work, then the same size R won't either….

Based on the comparison to the IH-666S-14 the post soak length will likely be about 1.5", correct?  So if I wish to order hemming and hope to have a 30.5~31 length post soak, I should have you hem them at 32'?

Big thanks to Adam and Alex for finding a pair for me. These are amazing jeans and very comfortable. Very last minute purchase as a trip to Texas in the spring popped up and I needed a lightweight pair for the heat.

So you bought them 6 months in advance - forward planning at its finest…..

In the spring? Texas has no spring.  There's just two seasons here- miserably hot and bearable, but still hot.

Well I’m not going to risk 25oz in April… in Texas. Getting them worn in on the beaches in England now

Some progress… mainly worn for work during the week, my 888NT’s get all my love.

Is there any need to presoak this denim?

I wouldn't think so, since they've been sanforized.  I think the recommendation is to soak the UHR (ultra heavy raw).

Since it’s unwashed, you will get some shrinkage the first time you wash them, just not as much as you would get with raw denim. A soak won’t do much of anything shrink-wise IMHO, but it will help to get rid of the creases from where they were folded. I always at least soak everything for this reason.
