IH-777S-21od - 21oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Overdyed Indigo

Max Power, you have a crazy whiskey collection. I'm jealous. The 777 jeans look good too!

Pre and post first wash

Got these during IH's summer sale and began wearing them in November. So far, I've worn them about 15 times and have done one lukewarm hand-wash. (I normally like to wait a good 50 wears before washing, but got mud on them.)
I hope that Haraki-san finds a good substitute for this soon-to-be-discontinued fugitive sulfur dye. It fades quickly and beautifully.

I have just picked up a pair of these wonderful jeans and have a question on hemming. I believe that the overdue process will take out all the shrink - do I need to give them a soak/wash prior to hemming, or is it fine to hem them off the bat?

I did not pre-soak or pre-wash mine before wearing, and they didn't seem to shrink (I measured) after a lukewarm hand-wash and a hang-dry.

@RoxRocks86 Rockin'. Love how the OG OD fades. It may be a tortoise, but it wins the race.
-
@nurunuru I completely agree. Also love how OD doesn’t fade with high contrast it’s a great denim to have in the mix.
@Oaktavia If you ever get the chance you should def consider adding a pair of OD’s to your arsenal. It’s a great denim to have and completely different from indigo, bb’s, ib’s. It really is just it’s own thing. Plus it just feels super soft and nice from the OD process

Yeah, the 21 oz od is really nice to have as a third (or fourth) pair in a rotation. The sulfur dye starts to come off pretty quickly and it gets a "lived in" look within 50 or so wears. So you can wear it, enjoy the super-soft fabric, and not have to put much thought into fading it.
