IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
I posted these in the buy/sell thread but the photos are kinda dope so I'm posting here too!

About five years in but lots of rotation so not that much wear. Fades starting to come through but they're in that perfect soft way now. The weather has turned, I couldn't be happier.. Washed when dirty, always cold, always hung up without a spin, and of course never ever a dryer–-so coming along. If I live as long as these jeans it will be a miracle.

It is Day 24 and I made up a small wear tracker as shown below. Not a neat solution, but helps me keep count of how long I have been wearing them.

Nice @the246guy. Wallet is looking good too.

666 size 33 arrived and will need to be exchanged for 888 or 777 depending on feedback from the IH guys. My thighs definitely did not fit the 666 cut. The 25oz denim won this time… on to something different.
Size issues aside... the quality of the 25oz denim is insane. It is like folding cardboard.

Going to need some advice. I accidentally sat on a piece of furniture that had some hard glue, but luckily it did not stick that much. Is there a way to get it cleaned? I can throw it into the washing machine and give it a wash, but I would prefer to wear it unwashed as long as possible. I tried rubbing it with a damp cloth, but get it to artificially fade on that particular area which I do not quite like. Any ideas?

Any ideas?
Use a hair drier to soften the glue then a needle to pick at the glue to take it out. Go slowly and carefully.

I’ve had this happen and, like Neph said, I was able to get it off with some heat. I used a very hot dryer (they weren’t great jeans) and I was able remove it. I believe it did leave a mark, but it faded with time and wear.

I managed to get the most out of it, but ended up leaving a patch that looks artificially faded. Hope this blends with the natural fades over the next months and years. Thanks for all the help!

It's been now 3 months for me with my first ever 25 oZ denim and I guess I found the Holy Grail pants in this cut. I own few other pairs of raw denim and I feel like not picking them at all after wearing this XHS continuously for the last 3 months, every single day. I might post some pictures later on and I'm even considering getting another pair to rotate.

Fades are starting to show up!

I hear you. I have been wearing mine for about the same amount of time and everything else feels weird and thin now. It's like a denim security blanket, haha. Although, I did just pick up the 18oz 634s which are pretty amazing (I couldn't squeeze into the 666 version of the 18oz).

Threw my pair in the wash after 2 months of constant wear, washed them (mostly) following @Filthy ‘s method. I’ve noticed these don’t stiffen up nearly as much as the 21oz’s do after air drying, and are softer quicker after the wash. so hope my honeycombs return, but it’s not the end of the world if they don’t.

^ That is some good amount of fading going on in just 2 months of wear. I have been donning mine for 3 months and the electric blues are nowhere yet to be seen.

Just 4 days short of hitting 100 days of wear. I have never worn any piece of clothing unwashed for these many days at a stretch and I like this way of living environment friendly with my XHS.
I need to now create a proper wear / fade log.
