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

[pjjames512]

Question for you guys - I was wearing a pair of tag size 31 in these and just yesterday got a pair of 32’s because the 31’s were too tight. They’re perfect other then the left leg when cuffed is almost folding in on the selvedge seam. This wasn’t happening on my 31’s and call me crazy (I know I am) but it bugs. Anyone have advice on how to either force or train the denim to not fold like this? I figured the pro’s like @neph93 or @alexswords might have a trick.

Is there any way for you to spread that crease/creased up denim out? Possibly from the inside. Maybe turning them inside out and ironing out the crease might help.. If you uncuff them is it still there?

Never seen it before, but I’d imagine the above suggestion will help. I also thing it will go away as you wear them in.

My guess is, how Jeans been
folded and fold line going all the way up.

Possibly Iron may sort it out.

But for me I would soak it in hot water and let
It tight up. So it don’t give way to being  relax on the leg

Or live with it.

Your jeans your choice..

Iron the shit out of that seam from the inside, get the selvedge to lie flat….

[pjjames512]

Thanks for the suggestions all - I’ll give it a shot.

@Giles - what’s the best way to protect the denim so that it doesn’t burn? Cover with a towel?

Whenever I feel the need to iron ,I always do it from the inside. Never had a problem. I don’t put anything in between  the iron and the denim.

[neph93]

Iron from the inside for sure. Have a towel inbetween if you like, but from the inside, you won’t need it.

[Giles]

I don't bother with a towel.  If I think I need to seriously tame a bit of wayward denim, I'll get it damp. then give it serious grief from a very hot iron….

[pjjames512]

@Giles @neph93 I appreciate it guys - I’ll give it a try with a bit of water and mega high heat and see if I can tame the wonky cuff.

@Lowlander Initial soak. Garden hose quick rinse when a fire extinguisher discharged. And now the first hot wash.

Hi Everyone
I just bought it a new 555-XHSib
Here my experience:
One year ago or so I bought it same model in size 34, painful break in but very confortable,  to my taste I prefer roomy jeans, I must reckon that this cut is beautiful also 777-XHS is fabulous too (in this case after wash one time cold water, special detergent no spin. Shrunk and the waist back to previous size but the rest no much.)

This are the pics of the 555 size 34 unwashed and unsoaked

and the new one size 36 (yep 2 size up but are different batches and different sizing) unwashed and unsoked

very confy by the way  my only problem with the size 34 is when I´m sit dow is really tight in the crotch and the tights, the knees are no problem at all.

Sorry the mess surrounding but it´s where I work

Some vertical fading starting to show…

[neph93]

Yes indeed! Isn’t it beautiful?

[Lowlander]

Yes! I try to explain this to my wife, but so far she shows little appreciation for the subtleties of faded denim… I'm glad I can  usually rely on you to make up for this @neph93 [emoji6]
