@Brock

How jealous what you get with a brand new pair  ???

[Jett129]

I find that the inside out vertical crease will dissipate with wear,maybe 7 days. Mine have just about 200 days on them and I need to get some pictures up,but they easily have another 200 wears in them as I’m not very hard on denim. They’re so comfortable.

[Kasi]

Definitely comfortable, from what I remember i sold mine off went somewhere in the U.S…

I may start all over again with the second pair, but at the moment I bashing the XHS B/B

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

@Jett129 I am eager to see them. These are so tight and stiff on me now it's hard to imagine them ever being comfortable. But I know they will be eventually.

[Jett129]

I’ll commit to taking some pictures tomorrow.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

This should be good because you're a real photographer

[Jett129]

Photographing clothes is photographic Kryptonite for me. Much respect for the insanely great images that Iron Heart has spoiled  us with. I’ll do my best.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Yeah it's a pain in the butt for sure. Either way I am sure your pictures will be excellent.

Damn @Brock those are great! You still wear em?

@Filthy great side by side shots of the xhsib’s & ind/ind they practically look the same. Are they actually that similar in real life? Would you be able to tell them apart without seeing the patches?

[Jett129]

Some quick IPhone pics just to give you a general idea. These have 205 days of wear and over 20 washes.

@sabergirl Thank you!  You just taught me a new term today.

Nice. This should be added to that denim glossary we were compiling somewhere around here.

Pretty sweet @Jett129 I can see how soft they are.

@RoxRocks86 the prontos are very blue and the XHSib has a slightly black and grey cast to it. So while they are similar in color irl the XHSib is darker.

Also I wasted my time trying to shrink these. The waist is back to where is was before. It took less time to get there than it took me to soak and wash/dry them.

I've got 2 days on the jeans now and I think I have committed to wearing them. I love how the combs look set I'm. The waist stretched back out from an 18.2 to a 19 and then some. Looking at the measurements from the first page I guess they did shrink quite a bit or I don't know how to measure right. I watched the YouTube video and followed along but the sample pair that is measured in the video is very pliable and broken in. These are very rigid and the part that is supposed to be bent in half is more than an inch thick.

Measuring the waist the Self Edge way seems to subtract about .2 from the actual measurement.

I have steam ironed them a couple more times all over and the denim has that smooth even hand that I like. This denim feels like it has a different vertical texture than the regular XHS. I guess it is from the washer and dryer but the hand feels more like UHR or the 21 oz denim than regular XHS. But the iron definitely smooths and adds that sheen that I like. After being machine washed and ironed this denim is very "flaccid" and pliable compared to what it was.

I think I wore these about a month last time and gave up on them. But now they seem more comfortable and the waist is doable with a belt.

[Jett129]

Which side do you Iron them on? Maybe both sides? I just iron on the inside. @Filthy

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I have been ironing on the outside so they get shiny. The sheen goes away after a while but a smoother even hand is there.

Got me a pair of these 25oz from a forum member. Love em!!!

[yannis]

Got those from a member today. Thank you Mike! Awesome pair. Finally a taper pair that fits. Lol..

[neph93]

Perfect @yannis These are the ones that got away for me. Had a pair paid for and chickened out because of measurements that in hindsight would have been perfect. Very happy you have a pair.
