IH-666S-21L - 21oz LHT Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
After wearing about over a month, I decided to soak it in little warm water. Very satisfied with jeans that it shrink from knees to feet and the hem opening smaller from 8 inches to down 7.8 which I prefer. Also the inseams are shorten from 32 inches to just a little over 31. Almost nearly 1 inch shrink but looks better.
now much comfortable to wear and it just fit at everywhere and looking great jeans. Didn't see the dye turn the water indigo color. Soaked about 30 mins and just gently shake to loosen any dirts but didn't rub. The color turned a little darker than before but not as dark as my other IH-666S-21. Amazing jeans from Iron Heart and the specs of measurement are incredibly correct as stated in the chart. It start showing some indigo but need more time show more patterns. It's not even break in yet, still stiff but it's a good way that showing dimension of the jeans and hips area finally stretch out for comfort and better look. -
Thank you neph93. Appreciate you words.

Yeah that’s a perfect 666 fit for sure.

Has anyone hot washed the 21L fabric before? Curious how much shrinkage I'd get… I've lost a little weight and wouldn't mind if my pair fit a little snugger, but I don't wanna lose too much length or move the position of my creasing.
Probably should just cold wash like normal and leave em' be. They're not that big...

It has been sanforised, treated to an anti-skewing process and washed once, industrially. You could probably boil them and it won’t shrink past what they were when you got them (before stretching out again).

Haha well that settles that!

Sorry if that came off as crass, it wasn't meant to be. But When H-san doesn't want things to shrink or skew he makes damn sure of it
Haha no worries at all! A definitive answer's much better than "eh maybe you can try _____"
Prob best to have a little bit of range in my IH fits, if I ever end up putting on a couple pounds again hehe

ready for the indigo invitational in a week. put on my old 666-UHR and couldn't get over how much i liked the fit so i went back to the 666 with a different fabric.

666-21L for indigo invitational. 2 months in, light blue peeking, but not much to show for..
-
hahah I got roped in when I saw high contrast fades and assumed they were fast faders. the time will come when the fades will show..
-
I like mine a lot — they probably get the most wear of my IH at the moment. They’re definitely not fast faders, though.
