IH-555-XHSBB - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Cut Jeans - Black/Black

[SEAK Kid]

First pair of slim fitting jeans.  These measurements were just big enough that they worked for me.  Shout out to Adam for helping to find a pair with the waist I wanted. 

Like @Jett129 said, it makes me smile to put on a pair of black XHS!

@SEAK Kid That is a great fit. I love it when a rogue iteration means a cut is suddenly accessable. It happens (rarely) with the 666 for me.

In LOVE. Again. For the 3rd time. With XHSBB.

Note to self:  Do NOT wear boots when deflowering a pr of XHS. Took longer to get my boots on than the XHS buttoned (20ish min cause i forgot my button hole stretcher).

Thanks Graham and Iron Heart!  These fit just like my PIHXHS

Who would have thought this fat boi woulda ever gotten into a pr of 555’s!?!
-down almost 45lbs but still a few to go. And will never be confused with “skinny”. Like food way too much.

Absolutely brilliant Mike - Congrats.  Though I think I may have got your 45lbs

[Jett129]

They do look great,you’re going to love the denim. Excuse me for being slow,but why did it take so long to get your boots on?

[mikebarhoot]

I have no fingernails and couldn’t get purchase on the denim to raise high enough to get my feet in them.

Señor Padmore, andy chance in hell IH will bring back the lef front little pocket like on the B01s of old?

[mikebarhoot]

:). I like that pocket

[mikebarhoot]

& because IH XHS button holes need attitude adjustments…

Easier with a pair of pliers

[mikebarhoot]

Neh. I use this before putting them in. And fasten/unfasten them a couple of times before wearing. Exception was today. DOH

[mikebarhoot]

[mikebarhoot]

with these being sanfordized but un washed, should they be soaked or not necessary?

[sabergirl]

You will get some shrinkage when they see water. Up to an inch in waist and length. I would soak or wash.

I soak mine…

You will have to soaks or Wash at some point.

Get it out of the way now.

[mikebarhoot]

“At some point”
When they stink i will wash.

[Kasi]

Your fades will move after soaks

Your honeycombs… behind your knees good luck 

[mikebarhoot]

not really concerned about honeycombs.

reference:

[Jett129]

Finally got out the tape measure and after a hot soak,two hot washes and two tumbles in the dryer…I’ve lost about an inch in length which also includes combs/creases,and maybe a half inch in the waist,but I was having trouble taking that measurement,as it was hard to get them to lay flat.

3rd full day of wear. 2nd time in any number of years ive tucked a shirt into denim.
