IH-777-XHSBB - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super-Slim Tapered Cut Jeans - Black/Black

[Giles]

If you have a pair that are the correct length uncuffed, then add 1" on for shrinkage plus n" on for the cuff, where n is the size of the cuff you want in inches.  This applied for a single cuff, not a double, a treble or a Tokyo cuff

Was going to give these a soak yesterday, good thing I didn't because I poured some caramel syrup down my leg today. Even got it in the cuff. Will a soak remove the sugary liquid our just give them a wash?

[Jett129]

Maybe try to get the syrup off first,by just using a wet cloth,maybe with a little detergent/soap on it. If that doesn’t work you may have to wash. Maybe you can rub the syrup off while they’re soaking.

@Nskelton With all respect to @Jett129  I would not try any kind of spot wash. You just end up with weird patchy jeans. Syrup is essentially sugar and sugar dissolves in water. A long soak in warm soapy water with a little agitation should do tje trick.

Carmel in the Cuff–--thats a new one 

[Kasi]

Oh dear me… the answer maybe straight wash..

[Nskelton]

I went with a combo of the ideas, kind of spot wash after about 30 minute soak.

These are my second pair of XHS. They seem to be slightly lighter in weight and thinner than 777-XHS. Are they two different types of fabrics?

They are the same fabric at the base, but different dyeing techniques involve different processes and that will change the hand of the fabric noticeably. On traditional indigo jeans only the warp is dyed, and the weft bleached. Here you have two different dyeing processes, one with sulphur, and one with reactive pigment. That creates quite an effect.

Same weight yarns, obviously different dyeing process

[Nskelton]

I just might have to get second pair of these soon. I'm liking how my first pair has started to break in. Only issue I have is that my right leg has twisted and sets my OCD off a bit.

[Giles]

It's a twill weave, always a chance of it happening.  Tell your OCD it's happening because it's proper denim…

Thanks @neph93. I wore them to work today and was pretty happy with the fit.

@Filthy I'm enjoying them quite a bit that I bought the 555 fit as well. This is the first wash and has had 3 soaks. Unsure about the other 25oz but I believe this denim has a little more give to them because of the dying treatment. Giving them a break through the summer because I'm going with the 55519ib.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

That's awesome. Do they have a soft hand or is it rough?

[Nskelton]

@Filthy They feel very similar to my 10 month old 21od(not sure if that helps). They're more soft hand than scratchy or stiff, no more standing on their own. Haha hopefully this helps.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Yes, I was wondering if it is similar to the regular XHS or XHSib. THANKS
