IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Dear experienced folks, does this stretch at least a few mm at thighs with wear up from the new measurements ? or does it actually shrink in with washes ?
It stretches like any other denim although it takes a while compared to 21oz which stretches if you look at it too hard. It shrinks only a little, so you will end up with jeans that exceed their original measurements.
If you're concerned I'd recommend not soaking and wearing hard for a few weeks and then wash/soak after some stretch has occurred.

I'm considering a pair of these but in the low 34" range, like 34.4" which would work best for me.
-
Unlike this pair
This pair
Hasn’t seen water…. yet

Nice honeycombs emerging on my 2014 666 XHS after about 9 months wear to work (office) in the past 18 months. No soaks or washes yet. My next project was to be a pair of my 2014 634 UHRs but I've got some raw 42 year old deadstock 32 x 36 501s arriving shortly which I'm unlikely to be able to resist breaking in, if I can bring myself to unstaple the tags and wear them.

excellent fit and combo @scotty
-
Yeah what he said, dope fit @scotty
what Viberg boots are those? I'm a big fan
-
@madmonday Thanks! - they are the the Plain Toe Service boot - Vintage Mocha Oil Harness leather- 1035 last (the Viberg x 3sixteen)
-
i should have figured they were a 3sixteen collab.
those guys + Viberg are almost always a great combo, kind of like Division Road.
back to the point of this thread, your denim looks and fits great & it is super useful for you to put your tagged sizes (although adding your height & weight would put you at legend status since it gives a great point of reference for folks browsing the thread ::) maybe too much, hahahahaha)
wear in good health, like the smart people say
-
What they said
@scottyReally sharp
-
@madmonday @Haddtoo 555 and everyone else - had to get you some pictures in better light. As mentioned, these are tag size 28. I'm 5'8" and 138lbs. Love these jeans, this is the cut/fit I've been dreaming of.
-
Really sharper …simply classic !
-
It's not Tuesday yet is it??
Didn't think I'd miss these so much.
-
All thanks to the denim doctor:))

When I got them back, the tailor said he was surprised - given the weight - that anything had frayed.
Given that they’re now 6 1/2 years old, I was surprised that nothing else needed to be done with them

6 1/2 years-ish. Not a huge amount of active wear in them, I lead a very sedentary life.
