[Dishelveled]

Thanks, Matty!  Division Road's gang and IH deserves the credit, but such a great opportunity for an IH nut, like my self!

@Alex any idea how long till a new run? And will the sizing issues be sorted on it?

[Alex]

We submitted a new production run Monday this week. Maybe 3 months or so.
I assume you're referring to the large waist? Given that they are unwashed, we have not tweaked it too much, no.

[spitfiredealer]

Ok thanks mate. Was there not a plan to sort the waist out and make them washed?

There was a plan to have them washed, but implementing it when all our retailers have stock of the old ones requires a bit of thinking. I still think we should do that, just knowing when is the tough part

[spitfiredealer]

Ok thanks mate for the update and can understand the problems . Looks like this jean is destined to not be for me [emoji31]

i don't understand what the whole sizing issue is? Just trust the "actual measurements" and forget about the tag size… right?

You’re essentially right in that things are what they are. The «issue» is that the waist comes up consistently larger in relation to other measurements than on the other 555 iterations.  This was slightly complicated by a period of uncertainty regarding what shrinkage one could expect.

Fades coming along nicely. However, I implore you all to read and listen to those directions. I washed these twice. Second time I noticed the marks. I don't mind them too much. Don't know if there's a way to get rid of them. The lines are in the second picture; the first one just shows the normal good fading. Also, sorry about the dick pic. It was the only way to show the "good fades".. .

@Wlemon

I wouldn't sweat the lines. Those are pretty normal when using a washing machine. when the jeans fade so will the lines. Same thing happened to me a few years back with a pair of N&F lht denim. Chucked them in the wash and there were crazy lines everywhere, but they eventually disappeared and now aren't noticeable.

[Wlemon]

@gaseousclay yeah, I figured that. Thanks for the conformation.

How about the shrinkage though, ditcha get any of that?

I'm the fence-sitter to make mockery of all self-proclaimed fence-sitters and still didn't get around to trying these on at the local retailer… Luckily they seem to have some stock left...

[Wlemon]

Not much, @Crit_Obs. I only used cokd water, though. It was also a short cycle. I might only soak them in the future. The first time I didn't notice anything, but now that there is less dye, I think that's when the streaks pop out. Soaking only should avoid that I think.

It’s ok, this is a crotch shot. They’re fine [emoji1]

Following the guidelines is always wise. I don’t baby my stuff otherwise but I now wash all my denim/duck/wabash etc with a soaking first and then machine washing, at least the first few times. This after fecking up a nice pair of grey IH chino’s. Still burns.
