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

[AdamJ]

@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

Hello, my very old 555-02, 5 or more years

[AdamJ]

Nice work! That top picture in particular, the texture of the fabric looks wicked

[neph93]

@Perrault Yes! Been too long since I saw a pair of these. Between this denim and the UHR, the world has lost two awesome fabrics in the last year or so. Fortunately this stuff is built to last, so it'll be good to see older pairs like this popping up.
