IH-555-02 - 18oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo

These are really evolving quickly lately. This is from maybe a month ago, and I've just been slow to post. I guess that puts them at something like a year and 9 months of wear in these shots? Still only 2 washes.

This usually happens to me. I find nice cut with fabulous denim and they are limited…. Anyway W34 after a 20 min light wash without detergent in 40C and spin 1200rpm. They were  still damp as I wore them about half  an hour to do household chores. Now drying and I start wearing them tomorrow.

@injunjack Nice! It's a great denim. Mine relaxed quite a bit after wearing them consistently for a while. That combined with a bit of weightloss! I was super surprised how soft they get in comparison to how they start out.

Hope you enjoy!

Adam, yes, I have beatle busters in 18oz and they are my favs.

Hi there @madmonday.  All good in NYC?  While psoting those pics I wondered how many of the ol' fellas still hang around.

Haven't tried sitting on a bike yet. This pair has quite roomy toplock, so probably will be good.
Will do that tonight and report back 

Report:  No problem on a bike.

Playing around with a foreground light source a bit after sunset. We were there to take shots of my wife's quilting project, but I love these jeans and this IH/Simmons shearling jacket, so had to jump in for a few.

Bonus quilt shot. Too bad for her that her shearling jacket is Diesel, since she can't get anything at IH level for women  :

Beautiful quilt….

Could easily make her an ANJ-4 (or really any SB)....

[cander49]

Good to know for the future! Hopefully I can eventually talk her into it!

Need to try some repairs on mine so they've just had their 3rd or maybe 4th wash prior to some novice sashiko attention.

@cander49
Those look great!

[cander49]

Thanks, yours too. Here's an update. I guess it's ~2 years of wear, and still only 2 washes.

Mine feel close to sweatpants at this point.

Jeans look amazing but I love that shirt. I take it that it’s one of your own creations? Btw, I was recently wearing my denim western you made me years ago and got tons of compliments. Still one of my favorite shirts!

Looks like a Lee shirt judging from the patch on the pocket
