        The latest video is a comparison to show the character that can be achieved with the 18oz Raw denim. 
        For the shoot, we used my IH-555-02s.
        Hope you enjoy!

          Very nice indeed, both the clip and your jeans. Especially nice patch btw. How have you treated it?

            Thanks @neph93
            I've actually done nothing to the patch at all. The first few times I washed them I hand washed them and I've always dried them naturally.

                They old, no idea on washes or anything

                Been repaired a bunch and I actually shouldn’t wear since I cinch my belt so much they sometimes look crazy but the honeycombs are just magnificent and compel me to wear them

                    That’s not insane (and even if it was, you are mad, Monday).

                    You’ve spent years beating the sh!t out if those and they look great. You’ve lost weight, and you look great. Giving those jeans prolonged life on your newly slim legs is a good investment.

                      Your logic is flawless but I don’t want to dump  💵 💴 into these when I have new denim waiting for wear.

                      I think I’ll get my kids to hide these from me in the 🏡 and give them back to me in a year or so, that way I will be forced to wear other denim

                      and you right I’m 🦇 sh!t 😜 hahahaha

                        That’s a fair point too. I just taken my 2nd oldest IH to my seamstress for their third round of crotch repairs and thought the same thing. In the end I probably won’t wear them a whole load, but it will be nice to have them available.

                            How about overdyeing the remaining pairs or a good portion of them?

                              It's a plan, but we'd have to ship them all back to Japan, remove the patches get them overdyed (that costs us USD25 per pair), put the patches back on, ship them back etc etc.  Once all that has been done, they owe us another $70 per pair or so…..

                                Suuuuuper stubborn, but I really like where these are headed after 5ish months worth of wear.

                                Also, @madmonday, that texture looks so damn good at this point…

                                        Thanks guys. Still over a year and a half to go in the competition, so plenty of wearing still required for these.  😃

                                          To IH & everyone in this thread - you guys are the best! All the questions, discussions, and the galore of pics & fades absolutely made me realize I needed to hop on the 18 oz denim and 555 cut train. Was kinda bummed it wasn’t in the 777 cut as I usually don’t go for high rise due to the fact that it looks like my body is being consumed by a pair of pants. But I really liked the leg measurements of the 555’s and since the 02 goes down to a 26W it was definitely meant to be!

                                          Pre-wash


                                          Post-wash


                                          Thoughts pre-wash:
                                          Right off the bat loved the details on this denim. But just by looking at them before slipping them on I was 70% made up in my mind that the rise wasn’t going to suit my frame well, but what a big slap to the face!!! I was amazed that the front rise didn’t go above my belly button as that’s the area where things usually go wrong. Anything above just looks funky monkey. So, that was a big sigh of relief!

                                          After trying them on I really wanted to wear them that night (post-wash outfit taken in daylight) so I threw them in the washer and set it to a delicate warm wash and then blasted them on high heat & spin in the dryer. Hope that doesn’t make anyone cringe. The waist got the most shrinkage and fit great out of the dryer, which was what I was hoping for.

                                          Overall, I LOVE the fit on these! They’re absolutely perfect!!! The only alteration they need is hemming. Looks like I’m a high rise fan after all.
