October
That should be right in time for the winter season. Is there a piece in stock in Japan that can be bought over in size 31? No problem if not. I just wanted to try my luck.

Well Iv been waiting all year to purchase these due to TX weather finally "cooling" off. Im absolutely in love with the 25oz 555 fit, its definitely THE cut for me. Im 170ibs, 5'7 and I ordered a 30 tag size hemmed inseam to 30. Im able to get two good cuffs when desired or leave them un-cuffed with no stacking in the leg or bunching at the ankle. This is my first pair of XHS and let me tell you when I first put these on I was a little nervous :D. It took a lot of patience to button them last night. I went to dinner last night (first time wearing them) and then slept in them as well. Woke up today and can button them with ease. It's funny what a day can do breaking these in so Im excited to break these in a little and then soak at the end of the week.

Sleeping in jeans is definitely underrated haha. Thank you and yes sir thats my office.
It pays to have dark sheets though. I took a nap in new jeans once on white sheets. The better half was not pleased.
That is a really nice office.
Indeed, I have dark grey sheets because I learned the hard way when first getting into the selvedge world ::) I travel for work sometimes and I bet house keeping hates me but I make sure to leave a tip for the indigo inconvenience.

Am bashing the hell out of them
What did you do with the patch to make the “25oz” dark?

Hey folks,
So I've just got myself a pair of the IH-555-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Indigo.
To say they are stiff and 'ball ache' is an understatement BUT that denim feels amazing.
Quick question is it recommended to wash these first before wearing in order to break them in OR just wear them raw and let them break in.
Also does washing them upfront effect the colour and or future fades?
thanks
in advance

advanceThey will shrink a bit with their first wash/soak. My personal opinion is that it is wise to get that out of the way before wearing, but it isn’t a must.
It makes no difference to fading potential. This pair were washed before being beaten up:

@DemonDenimHunter I don't have this cut but have the 777 in XHSib. I soaked them first in order to get the length shrinkage out of the way, as well as establish what the tightest the jeans would feel like. If you can deal with the discomfort they'll be fine in a couple days good wear. They were crazy inky dark before the soak and crazy inky dark after, with any of the XHS the amount of indigo loss from an an initial soak shod have no negative repercussions on the fade-ability. Enjoy your killer jeans

Soooo I've been wearing these RAW over the weekend as I couldn't be wait to wash/dry etc etc and tbh after the first few hours I got used to them breaking in, having said that they're not exactly easy to sit in.
