      Other then the difficult closure what's your thoughts on the feel of the denim?

          @Nskelton:

          I think it feels/ looks a lot like the SBG on steroids. It is very stiff and rough. The denim has a cool sheen to it with sort of a vertical irregularity that you can see very pronounced because of the sheen of the denim. I wouldn't quite call it slub because the hand of the denim is smooth and even.

          I was definitely impressed by how the denim felt and my initial impression was positive. Like it seems extremely heavy and that is what I like. I was also impressed by the nickel rivets and tonal stitching. The black pocket bags and liners are super awesome.

          I am happy to own a pair. Not looking forward to struggling with the waist for a while. But I tried to give them a pre-game stretch out before the first soak so it won't be as much of a struggle.

          My other pair of 888 XHS sized down I just soaked and didn't bother to try on to stretch out before the soak. They were agonizing to wear at first.

            …@Filthy it was the lowest button for me, had to button that one up while not wearing them. Brutal. :o 🙂

            ...your review is spot on. 😉

              It's the only 25oz I've got, so can't really compare but I think it broke in rather quickly. I did a hot soak the day after I received them, then wore them about a week and did another hot soak.

                Yeah that's a pain in the ass the first couple times.

                It's the only 25oz I've got

                That's a shame. But hopefully Providence will land you in another pair soon. I feel like everyone should have a pair of regular indigo XHS.

                  The reason I haven't put any miles on the BB is because the indigo XHS has been such a stubborn fader!  I've been wearing them every day for the last 6-7 months at least, and just now began to start seeing some whiskers!

                    A question if I may.

                    I have only ever seen pictures of 'blowouts' on Black Jeans, is there a reason for this?

                    Thanks

                      I suspect you just haven't come across them, every pair of jeans I have ever owned have blown out eventually with no discrimination of colour

                        Whereas I have never managed to blow a pair out, any colour/any weight…..

                            2nd boiling soak in an even bigger pot today. Hopefully they will stop bleeding dye. It's freaking crazy how much dye bleeds out of these!

                                There's lots of indigo blowouts in the IH HALL OF FADES. A lot of them have been darned over.

                                  I shrunk the inseam from a 36.7 to a 35.25 or so.  🙂

                                    I had some dye bleed on the patch so I dyed it black and oiled it up. A lot of the dye will probably rub off…

                                      Two stews?

                                      You going to be able to save the pots?!

                                      How much colour drained? and was it even?

                                        Yeah I use the pots to soak my jeans all the time. They are stainless steel.

                                        And yes the color is even.

                                          Nice job Filthy!

                                          Like the patch creative thinking too!
