IH-888-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/blk

Everywhere that is put under pressure will stretch back to where it was, more or less, including the thigh.

The issue with crotches tightening after repairs is quite normal. The worn, stretched, fabric from before had been replaced by new yarn and the torque of the material is increased. Repairs will also take up more room in that area, adding to the feeling. These things will abate, to a degree, but my IH-666-XHS have had the crotch repaired many times now, mostly by my own hands and I use darning and patches, so now the area is very thick and stiff (sorry for the unavoidable puns).

I almost couldn’t button them initially and I had an “oh s**t” moment because I really love the fades so far… thankfully you’re right, it’s getting easier. Same with walking, since they were so stiff in the crotch area, having to literally grab my ankle and pulling my leg up to my knee to put on shoes. I’m more worried about damaging the area just outside of the repair area since the repaired section is so thick comparatively. Easing into it lol [emoji13]

That MAY happen with time, but if the person who repaired the jeans is at all competent they will have applied patches to the whole area where thinning has occured, plus a little more. It which case you will be fine for a long, long time.

The repairs in my above mentioned 666-XHS spread out beyond the initial whole every time I fixed them. However we are talking five years and many hundreds of wears, now they seem very stable. Totally worth it.

I feel like a bad forum member… I've been fading a pair of these for the Indigo Invitation II. I've kept up to date on that side of things but not over here.

I've worn these since October 1st with no days off and one soak.

Restock timeline? Wrong fit.

Not for a good few months

After ~100 wears, 2 soaks and 1 swim in the ocean (rinsed thoroughly afterwards)

Dark under the pocket - love how that red “pops”and how the arcuate slowly becomes more visible over time
