IH-555-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo/Black

[Smiladon]

Looking at @Lowlander s jacket I can see it doesn’t have hand warmers. And I don’t see how you could include hand warmers without messing up the stitching coming down from the chest pockets.

It is possible, but it's a tad messy…..

@Lowlander:

Clearly I've lost my head over the past year… :o

Love the 3D effect.

Cheers @gcsk76 @den1mhead!

I'm really enjoying the XHSib journey!

@Lowlander i have the same combo of jacket and pants- at about the evo. Nice to see it on a different person. The pairing of denim is different and nicely works.

@Lowlander  great combo with the jacket. Super EVO also.

Do you think I can get 1.5 inches of stretch eventually from the starting measurement? My waist is 35.5 inches…I fear if I go for the 35 I end up at like a 36.5.

Hi there. Do you mean your actual physical waist is 35.5”? If so try and get yourself a better metric to work with. Physical waist and the actual measurements of your jeans waist band are a poor match. Try measuring a pair of jeans that fit you well and use that as your comparison. Measure them using the same method as IH use. You will find it on a video on the product page in the web shop.

That being said, the tagged W35 starts at 36” according to the charts and will probably end up between 36-36.5” with stretch.

A few rainy day photos of me walking to get beer. These barley fit in the waist now! I have not worn them since April and it bummed me out when I tried them on. I am hoping that I can stretch them out but as you see, they probably already have been. Has anyone else hung up a pair of jeans for a spell only to find those beers made an impact?

I truly hope I can still wear them after the Indigo Invitational. They fit alright and about the same everywhere else. The waist is just a tad tight and I can feel it when I sit down to drive.

Last two photos were from last month. Same amount of evo. Cheers

Have you try the car jack,, that definitely will stretch the waist

What an idea! I have not thought of that.

These are the nicest looking pair of XHSib I’ve seen. As for the car jack stunt, it works for sure, I’ve done it on a pair of UHR and a pair of XHib, but do be very careful. @Baba-san  popped a button on a pair of 21oz recently while trying it.

Coming from you, that means a lot!

@Oaktavia Fades sure are looking good. Rock & roll. Try to wear more in Fall & winter.

[hoppy_IPA]

fades are exceptional, Oak!

O/T - you're doing the indigo invitational?  what jeans did you decide on?  best of luck!

1st off @Oaktavia those look fantastic! I hadn’t seen the whole shebang recently. As far as the waist, you probably just have to wear them for a week or two. Stretch em back out, chubby

Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone knew how much there 555 xhs ib actually shrunk in the inseam after the first wash. I’ve had mine for about 2 months and I really don’t like cuffing them but I left myself about and inch and a half just in case. I don’t plan on washing anytime soon but I would really like to get them hemmed a bit more.

Thanks for any advice.
Peace

You can expect up to one inch of shrinkage in the inseam with a wash.
