16oz Slubby Denim

[goosehd]

I love this material and they may be the most comfortable out of the bag that I've experienced from IH.  Quick question:  Has anyone noticed that these are really stubborn in regards to fading?  I'm wearing the hell out of these and not seeing the typical fades (or start of fades) that I have seen in other IH denims.

Giles can answer that. His sample pair is amazing

For me, quite the opposite. I find these to be the most indigo-leaching pair I've ever had. Number of crocking related arguments at home has been through the roof in the last couple months!

Me too…..

Thank you gentlemen.  Mine are due for the first wash so maybe I’m just a little premature in my observation.

So there's left-hand twill, right-hand twill, broken twill…is slubby its own twill or not a twill at all?

In prep. for the lefty launch, I was looking at my XHS, and I see the bottom-left to top-right pattern.  Then I looked at my slubs for a bit but couldn't find a diagonal pattern, more like side-to-side?

Slubby can be any twill @Paul9221 , it's just referring to irregular yarn width within the twill, usually on the warp threads.

This one is RHT I think.

[Giles]

It is…..

[Paul9221]

Gotcha, thanks guys!

Ok, mate. Thanks for the reply!

@Giles first sample pair fade update

[Fadez]

They look incredible! Looking forward to when my prontos look that good

[atm23]

WOW those warp matrix fades! Did he machine wash?

[AdamJ]

@atm23 Yep I am fairly certain they're machine washed and hung to dry, @Giles will be able to confirm the specifics regarding temp and spin speed!

[Giles]

Machine wash when dirty. 30 or 40 Celsius, no spin, drip dry

This is what I do with jeans and other gentle items, though I turn my jeans inside-out. And don't reverse that back to outside-out until they are fully dried to avoid marbling.

[Giles]

Oh yes, I do inside out until about the colour they are now….
