IH-666S-142ib - 14oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo/Black
-
I bought these bad boys during the sale earlier this year and finally wore them today. I was on the fence about potentially hemming them so I gave them a hot soak. They lost about .5 inches in length and now I'm happy with where they are. They're shedding a lot of indigo. Every time I obsessively wash my hands due to the threat of Rona the water is blue. Love it.

Teaser of how this denim fades (note this is the 19ozib, not 14ozib, but contrast of fades will be consistent):

Might order these as my "summer jean" in a few months time. Gain a rotation of 14,21 and 25oz.

Yeah I found my 21oz pretty easy to wear this past August and pretty much the entire month was 90+. I mainly want an indigo/black, maybe the 19oz.

I totally agree with this. I wore my 21s all summer without any problem at all. It breathes well for as thick as it is.
Next one will be the Indigo Black as well–I am really digging how they fade, almost a purplish tone in the highlights.

^ they’re just covered in white dust
Been wanting a pair of 14oz ib’s for summer (it could also be Giles recent 19oz ib update that tipped me over the edge) so picked these up in the 666 cut to keep the devil’s train going for when the 19oz LHT gets intolerable. I’m quite surprised how hot 19oz feels compared to XHS.
I was a bit worried after trying on the ib’s as they felt and looked bigger and baggier then the 2 other 666 pairs I own (IH-825 and 19oz LHT). There was severe bunching at the crotch and an unsightly diaper butt. Ended up spending an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out how to make these work (basically all weekend) playing with the rise. Finally found the sweet spot where they sit on the hips rather than hiking them up where the actual rise goes up to the waist which meant notching the belt tighter, hence all the extra denim bunching up with nowhere to go. Also found out these do have a tiny bit of shrink in them after a hot wash which was welcome. I’m over the moon that these worked out & excited to get some 14oz ib action going on
fit pics from today (w/3 days of wear already in the books) while waiting for cabinet delivery. The denim is also much darker than the pics depict.

@RoxRocks86 Jeans looks great! I just ordered the western shirt in this fabric and your photos get me stoked!!!
-
When does your shirt arrive @Oaktavia ? You’re gonna love everything about it - smooth hand of the denim, the fades!!!! Which looks better with each wash. Kinda reminds me of the wabash fabric in that sense.
Thanks for reminding me to wear these today
