Great shot [mention]louisbosco [/mention] ! Captured the slubbiness (prob not a word) perfectly!

thanks. feel like it could be better. my first 634. will start wearing them in the very near future..

I’m holding off on mine too, even though it is hard. 16oz is summer weight for sure. The way things are here it’s XHS and UHR all day everyday.

Back from hemming today, start wearing them soon 
For you guys in Germany, I can highly recommend Manuela from Pott Manu‘facture in Berlin if you need your jeans hemmed. She did an absolutely great job !!

Yes, she is doing a very good hemming service and also repairing the old Jeans. Check the website here: https://pott-manu-facture.com/home/

Fantastic new denim, like my new 634 pretty much!

[Daniel San]

Wore mine 2 hours today.
Such a different feeling on the skin in comparison to the normal denim. Now have my sweatpants on and it
feels like I still have the SLB‘s on, specially on the thighs. Leaves a kind of memory effect on the skin it seems

Started wearing the slubbys this week . A lot of bleeding on my RW 
What are your experiences ? Did someone soak them before wearing ?

[Giles]

A soak won't really help a lot (if at all).  They've been one washed….

[Daniel San]

Don`t get me wrong , it´s ok that they bleed. I take it as an individual form of indigo art on my boots.
looks great 
Is it specific for the slubby that they bleed so much? never had it that strong with my 21oz/18oz jeans.

[Giles]

I think it is because there are individual high spots in the warp, so the indigo gets a lot of friction on those….

[neph93]

I find what bleeds and doesn’t to be a mystery. My first pair of 21oz bled massively and for a long time. Subsequent pairs not so much.

[Chris]

I've been wearing mine for a few weeks now and I haven't noticed a lot of indigo bleed. But then again, I sit around all day barely moving.

Will this denim stretch out as easily as the 21oz ?

[GTPowers]

Made the jump from 555s to 888s for Dad-bod reasons. Loving the 8s for their "chase kids around the house" fit and room in the hips.

I'm looking at this pair for Indigo Inv. Y3, would I find the fit somewhat comparable? Biggest differences I see is mostly in the rise and knee.

Nope. Definitely less stretch in these.

Really? I would have said equal or more based on what @AdamC and others with samples have reported but may have misunderstood them.

[neph93]

I'm being super patient with mine. Had them over a month and have only tries them on for 2 mins. They are strictly April to October jeans and I plan to wear them exclusively. I realise that is not going to happen, but I'm allowed to plan it like that, no?

[Giles]

I would agree with Alex…...I'll measure my IH-666S-SLB samples when I am back in UK....

[neph93]

It certainly seems like it should stretch meaningfully. The weave does not seem tight. @Chris are you binge eating again?

[Daniel San]

absolutly agree with Chris , less strech than the 21oz
I would actually say the less stretch from all my IH Jeans so far . Maybe it just takes longer .
Started to wear my 21oz lefty’s at same time in rotation with the SLB’s , so same days of wear.
The lefty’s stretch a lot more, at least it feels so. But of course this is my personal feeling/ experience without having measured them at the start of wearing.
But in fact it is does not matter for me cause they fit perfectly.
