IH-888-XHSBB - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut - Black/Black

@Filthy:
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!

@Al:
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
-
That a big pot…
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…
-
Yeah I use the pots to soak my jeans all the time. They are stainless steel.
And yes the color is even.

…@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.
I know the sun (we get some on occasion) is bright in that pic but do I get the sense of a slightly oiled look / feel to them?
I am interested in the boiling that you and Filthy talk about. I really like my indigo 888 25oz! only thing is the slight Riding breech look at the upper thigh (not a big problem but I know you had this too)

You know what I love about you, Filthy? You're so positive and adaptive. I'm not sure what my reaction would've been to dye on the patch…probably a little bummed and then just "Eh, I'll live with it", but you're like "I got some dye for that!" and totally followed through on making lemonade with life's lemons
-
I was saying that they needed a tea core black patch years ago. The dye I used kind of rubs off like that. It's probably at least 10 years old.

That drops out with wear as the denim softens and moulds to your shape and movement.
Didn't think I noticed on your pics so just assumed it was not a break in situ - Thanks
Drops out maybe a small exaggeration, but it certainly softens and becomes less noticeable. It is more pronounced on the XHS iterations that the 21oz iterations due to the nature of the denims concerned, but my UHR 888’s had lost it before I sent them to denim heaven recently.
