IH-888-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

Great fit @Filthy ! Your dedication to get that top button buttoned is admirable. Do you get to wear these to work?
-
No, I wouldn't wear these at my daytime gig. I have to wear FR coveralls.
The nighttime one is a different story
-
The legs fit me perfectly and the waist is super tight. But all my other pairs the waist gets too loose after a month. So these should be just right.
Looking good @Filthy
Will you get them hemmed? A tight waist is always nice to start with and. My 888s 21OZ have stretched a ton, too.
-
They were already hemmed.
First night in the bag. The waist has loosened up so I can get a finger in there. This seems like it is gonna be the perfect cut for me. I love the fit of these and how they are slightly tight behind the knee and the taper of the leg. I also really like how the denim feels since it had been soaked.
-
want to see that 'double chainstitch hem job'! Sounds interesting.
I used navy thread, so hard to see, but these are double chainstitched…..
-
…oh yeah, heavy duty.
-
…a little salve for the OCD!

-
That double chain stitch looks great!

Thanks @RoxRocks86 I love how kind and friendly and upbeat you always are. It always makes me happy to see when you reply.
It was agony on the waist. But the 1st full day's wear today. Posted this for in a year when I am trying to figure out how long I have had them.

Aw thanks @Filthy Mike that’s very kind of you to say
Your posts are great! You’re so poetic about denim & the experimental ideas you have are just brilliant.& fyi the asshole gets drained at work so nothing but happiness gets spread elsewhere. Jk. This forum is just good fun!

Here's a one week post stretch fit pic… the waist stretched from a 35.8 to a hair over 37. I'm definitely checking the mattress for bedbugs in this fleabag hotel.
-
I am extremely pleased with how comfy these are getting. The waist perfect now. …now not to lose or gain anymore weight for the next year(s)
Also @spitfiredealer good call on getting them hemmed. I appreciate your subtle criticism.
-
I love how the XHS stacks and folds.
