IH-666-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo/Black
-
Something arrived today.
Older 777-XHSib vs new 666-XHSib
Any idea as to what that line is that is visible below the pockets? I just received mine and I can also see such a line below the pocket?

It's where they have been folded for shipping.
I kind of suspected that. Such a think denim has its delivery / shipping mark on it. You can't mess with this beast! I'm yet to try mine and will do so over the weekend, but this won't be worn until Indigo Invitational Y3.

Mine just arrived. Bloody hell. It’s been many years since my last pair of XHS and I’d forgotten what they were like. After 40 minutes of wrestling with them to get them buttoned up and some very numb fingers and thumbs, I feel a strange sense of achievement! My last pair were my favourites for many years so I can’t wait to get these broken in.

I am wearing them already. Will rotate with 777-666-BK.

^ That's exactly the reason for me to choose this pair for the Indigo Invitational Y3. I'm just jealous of you. Can't wear my pair until Y3 starts. Eagarly looking forward.

When will Y3 start? @the246guy

But… It's not an invitational. 意味わからん。

Seems like these are quick faders when compared with the XHS. @twin Great progress there on that pair!

Thoughts on this fit? The top block is definitely more roomy than I was expecting, but maybe not a bad thing when they shrink? Do I keep getting the wrong cut/size or do these look right given the very stiff new fabric, eventual break-in, and shrink? These were also surprisingly easy to button compared to what I was expecting. I'll say the rear waist slides down a good bit when I sit, but maybe this too is also an issue only when new stiff fabric? The rear rise is spot on exactly what all my other jeans are that behave nicely when sitting/squatting/etc.

It depends on how you like it. The fit looks kind of Okay to me. That extra room on your thigh might shrink down by a tiny amount after a soak or a wash. If the waist is not sliding down when you sit or squat, it should be fine. If not give the smaller size a try and you will know it better.
Regarding the button, it was the same for me when it came new, it was relatively easy to button. I did a hot soak before I started to wear them. After the hot soak, the waist button was so stiff that I had to struggle to get it done.
