IH-666SII - 18oz Indigo/Indigo Slim Cut Jean

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Yeah, I am realizing any double indigo is a long ways off, if at all.  So I decided to hot soak, hot wash, and a trip through the dryer my 25 oz PIHDCT pair to try and shrink them as much as I can to see if maybe I can make them work… maybe with a belt? I know the top block seems slimmer than my size 38 634XHSib, actual waist 39. I am hot soaking them one more time and am hopeful maybe I can get them to work out.

My XHSib are falling off me now despite washing them and soaks. I could easily take a size 36 now. But I am waiting to see what the fall collection has to offer before I make any moves.

No FW pants.  But we have 4 new or rereleased denims in various stages of wovenicity production..

15.5 - 16oz - slubby selvedge indigo
17ish oz - deep raw selvedge indigo
21/23oz - UHR
21oz - superblack selvedge

They'll be getting made into stuff as and when weaving is complete and samples have been made…

Thanks Mr. G.

My pair is just a little bit too small, so I only get to wear em when I'm a little on the skinnier side. They're f'n awesome, wish my pair was one size bigger.

[Kfactor]

My pair has been seeing some more wear lately so I figured I’d add to this post

@popvulture what size is your pair?

[popvulture]

@Matt they're 33. I'd say they fit about like your TW-666. Snug on me but wearable.

[Matt]

Yeah, mine are also 33.  I was going to suggest a trade if yours were 32.  Wear those TW for a bit.  If they’re just snug now they should fit pretty well after some wear.

[popvulture]

Yeah they fit and they’ll definitely loosen up, was just a little worried I could blow em out. I always gain 5 lbs in the winter and everything fits a bit tighter for a minute

If they do show any real stress I could send em in for a precautionary darning.

17ish oz - deep raw selvedge indigo ???????

Has Giles has been hiding something from us?

[popvulture]

He's teased a couple things that indicate as much, for sure. Another II would be excellent, if it's indeed the case.

We have a 14oz Indigo/Indigo that will be releasing in all 5 core cuts at some point
Ditto 19oz lefty
Ditto 21oz superblack selvedge
Working on a 21oz raw denim (different from UHR)
Working on something interesting for 20th anny…..

How's that?

[popvulture]

14oz II sounds fantastic — my stash of denim is mostly heavyweight, so I definitely welcome something interesting on the lighter side

FW22

I’m excited about the 20 Ann stuff since I’ve somehow duped my wife into believing those are “souvenirs.”

I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. She’s being way out of character in this one. 

On topic…

My 634s in this denim are mostly retired. There’s a bit of marbling on them but the denim was great.

[Matt]

Wow @mclaincausey  You just jumped right into this 666 thread with your 634 just to show me up. Brutal.

[mclaincausey]

I dunno @Matt yours have more vibrant blues and no marbling!

Definitely wasn't trying to show ya up

I would've posted to the correct thread but the conversation about indigo x indigo made me want to show prospective future buyers what this denim did for me.

[Matt]

Totally joking.  Those deserve to be shown.  Seem like a good candidate for fade trade to me.

[atm23]

@mclaincausey those are amazing! I really need to wear my 634s a lot more!

Those are are definitely a great candidate for the Fade Trade program. I would love to see the IH crew get some hi-def pics of those.
