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

[Woohoozippy]

I'm curious if most of you folks would soak these before wearing them and if so, how hot?

These are sanforised but unwashed, so there is shrinkage in the fabric. You should soak, but you can get away with not doing it. I’m of the mind that it is the only thing to do.

As for temps, i run the the tap as hot as it goes… normally between 40 and 50C.

@neph93 is the oracle for these things, and I would do exactly the same

12 weeks in the rotation and the break-in is finally getting somewhere.  The waist has went from nearly unwearable to a perfect fit.  Electric blues have entered the chat.  Whiskers, Stacks & combs are settling in.  The only thing holding this pair back is all the insane shit Haraki has in the pipeline (XHSii, 21oz ib, 19oz LHT 16oz slub )

Coming along nicely.

She can be a real pain in the butt, but she's a cutie and has a lot of spunk:

…@Paul9221 years back I was looking at an African Gray parrot, then learned I would probably be leaving it in my will!   100 year lifespan! ???

Who said that?

Someone posted a few weeks ago,something about the new denims Haraki was making and mentioned a 25OZ II. No one from IHUK commented or disputed what he said,I figured you guys were intentionally,just,ignoring him. I was  skeptical as to how he could know that.

I think it’s officially been said that the indigo/indigo XHS was a pronto thing, and won’t be done again. There may be something else II in the works?

There is II in the works.  but as you say @sabergirl the II XHS was a Pronto thing, if they want to rerun, then we will.  But it sold poorly for them, so unlikely…..

.      That’s why I was surprised when it was posted that it was coming out and just ignored it.

It was mentioned two posts before mine. I didn't think so.
