          Yesterday it was windy and dry in U.K
          Brand new pair.
          Hot soak them first and worm them damp, to set quite sharp creases in the front and behind the knees.
          Like @neph93 says get it out of the way rather than later
          Before I used to were them six months raw then soak, that a lot of crap bullshit.

              …I love the 555's! I wear my 'cuts' for a full week and I rotate through my XHS-555's, XHS-634's and my XHS-888's weekly. I look forward to wearing them all every time I switch and I'm going to continue this routine until I'm confident which pair is going to get a buddy! 😃

              ...the competition is pretty much between the 555's and 888's but as I say I love them all.

              ...the way forward for me now is 'try them on when the package shows up, measure if you so desire, toss them in the washer ( inside out! ), cool or warm temp, on delicate then toss them in the dryer and tumble for 20-30 minutes take out and hang dry the rest of the way. Measure for curiosities sake and knowledge when fully dry. And if I'm honest with myself that initial hour long soak in the the tub at your desired temperature is probably a wise move . 😎

                Pro thanks for that doesn’t comer easy been wearing Iron Heart over 8 years or so
                I have worn 666, beatle buster, pronto’s 777 and 555
                Still have mine pronto as a collection.
                Winner fits for me are 555 my signature fit
                Switch fit 777 fit…a change from 555 so I don’t get fed up wearing 555.

                25oz is only fabric l like to wear.

                I haven’t brought any other brand... for a while

                PBJ they have gone too mainstream... but still have their limited edition 24oz
                Flat Head 20oz jeans feel like 25oz amazing.

                There are other brands out there, but last 15 years experiencing Japan clothing.

                I would crown IRON HEART WINNER OF ALL TIME AND THE GREATEST..

                I don’t know many fans out there are like me... Always buying Iron Heart more often.
                I will rest my case now.

                  I just started the journey last year….I think the Corona had something to do with it because I was home for months..and I came across IH.

                  The quality and attention to detail are what initially drew me in..but then when it came to customer service, there was nothing else that compared to Giles and the crew--and of course now it is becoming more clear that Alex is and has been doing a great job of taking IH into new territory.

                  Since the 666-21S was and till now still is the only cut ive tried...every time I see you or others wearing the 555s...im thinking I might try them in the future.

                  I try no to overthink any of this..I will keep my process as simple as possible---wear it hard and don't worry so much about the details 😉

                    ...as I @dinobarnesberlin! Actually started the journey with the N1 Deck Jacket, I looked at the jeans but thought you have to be crazy spending $400 on a pair of jeans! 😃

                    …well, starting in August of 2020 and a small fortune later, I, like @Kasi and so many more, am now a true convert and IH cult member! 🙂

                        They certainly fade faster than 21oz although not as quickly as the UHR did. I would say that the areas that tend to be exposed to abrasion and friction fade very quickly, but the other areas cling to their indigo. The result tends to be high contrast. Here are an aging pair of 666-XHS:

                        What boots are these. They look fantastic.

                          @vaquero357 I know right? My girlfriend was kind of giving me a bad time in the beginning, and now she is coming around:)
                          400 for jeans she said?
                          250 for a shirt she said?
                          im all like " yea" i 😃

                            Thank you! They are custom specced Wesco Boss. Black rough out, harness straps, bump toe and a few other tweaks. I’ll try and find more pics, but ask away if you have more questions.

                                      Went through the posts as I'm planning for quite some time to get into the XHS denim. Have been thinking the last couple of months to get my first XHS and was looking into the 666 cut but the measurements have been putting me off. The 555 seems to have a roomy thigh which is good for me. I have a size 31 on my 666 cut and looking at this measurements, the Tag size 30 would be better. I'm not sure if I can compare the dimensions across cuts like this, but nevertheless from what I could infer from the discussions, the waist, thigh, knee should stretch a bit with wear, so Tag size 30 should do. Is my assumption correct?

                                      IH-555N | IH-666S-21 | IH-777D | IH-666 XHS | IHG-035 | IHB-06 | IH-721-KHA
                                      IHSH-251 | IHSH-07 | IHSH-246 * 2

                                        I've been wearing a pair of these for the Indigo Invitational for the past 4 months. Loving them and they are just starting to fade noticably and are soft as hell! Can any experienced XHS owner provide me with the best marbling/white lines proof washing method?

                                        I've successfully washed 21oz IH denim many times but this fabric has be intimidated a bit. So far I plan to soak inside out, wash in machine on warm (inside out still) low/no spin, hang dry. Which is my 21oz method minus the pre soaking. Thanks for any tips!

                                          @jotishan you can compare thigh measurement across cuts but what most people forget is that the thigh dims are taken at the top of the thigh. It is useful to consider the width from thigh to knee to get a sense of how things taper. The 555 is described as “super slim” because the knee measurement is the smallest of all IH cuts. The thigh tapers heavily towards the knee, while the 666 has much less thigh to knee taper.
