PIH10ANT - 22oz Sanforized Indigo Selvedge Slim Tapered Cut Jean
-
Thanks to @thomas01 I’m now the proud owner of my first pair of IH denim and my first pair of heavyweight denim above 17oz. These jeans are amazing, but I mostly like them because they’re the Pronto collab and I really dig the blue W stitching on the back pocket. The brown weft is pretty cool too. The thickness and heft are unreal.
The fit is pretty darn good. I did pre-soak and post soak measurements and only saw a .25” loss in dimensions with a hot water bucket soak with no agitation.
My question is, can I expect further shrinkage with future washes? I usually do a cold water bucket soak, inside out and hang dry. I believe these are sanforized but unwashed correct? I still need to get these hemmed so that’s why I’m asking about shrinkage. I used to hem all my jeans at 32” to allow for a single cuff, but nowadays I prefer uncuffed and can get away with a 31” inseam if there’s no more shrinkage to be had.
Can’t wait to start wearing them. Of course, spring/summer is just around the corner so may have to wait

Feeling super jelly @Jett129
Actually I wish I could divide myself many times over across the multi-verse, and be wearing every single pair of Iron Heart jeans ever. All at once.

Still need mine hemmed. But, summer is almost here and I may be switching to shorts soon enough

Finally got around to doing some Macro shots of the denim. They were taken at ISO 8000,F11 at about 1/30 of a second. Hand held with an image stabilized 100mm Macro lens.
