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

I have no idea as to what may have caused that,but I’ve had stuff happen to jeans,in the wash,that totally freaked me out at the time,and a few months later you don’t even notice it. Just adds character. No one else will ever notice it. Can’t imagine someone coming up to you and going…Dude what the fuck happened to your jeans? Hope I made you smile.

Looks like part of the weave to me. Just wait until your XHS is more broken in, there’ll be vertical falling like that all over.

I think it looks cool.  I have some slubby Samurai denim that has the same look.

That's some vertical slub…It's not a stain, it is where the slub (raised bit) has abraded more than the surrounding denim.

I have them on my jeans. Then they go away after more fading…

I had some on my double indigo 666.  It’s just part of wearing small batch handmade clothing.

A month's worth of wears on these, now. Some very slight fades starting to appear around the top block, especially near the pockets, and the knee combs are setting in.

These are my first IHs, and are already the best jeans I've owned by a country mile. But in hindsight I feel like I should have gone another size up just for the extra thigh room. I don't know how visible it is in the photos, but the crotch sits pretty low on me because I just can't pull them any higher. Mildly dreading having to stretch them back out once I finally wash them.

How are people storing them?
After breaking a hanger I got them to hang by a belt loop on a hook. But they're so heavy I feel like leaving it there is going to stretch the jeans in some weird way and break the belt loop.

To the poster above, I'm in the opposite boat. I wish I sized down. You definitely feel looseness more on these pants than lighter ones since there's 0 drape.

Getting out of them, leaving them on the floor next to the bed and putting them back on in the morning…

I throw them into a pile in my closet, but pretty much the same.

I store them hanging by the belt loop on a rail.

Wooden hangers because we aren’t all wild animals like @Giles

So you fold them in half and hang them on the bar of the hanger?

folding is not a good idea
hang them by using the belt loops as dmart said !

[Dmart]

And not to forget, the Saphir Renovateur for the leather patch after water contact. Everything needs to be tidy and conditioned

Sure do. Been doing it that way for 10 years with almost every pant material IH has. No problem.

[Matt]

But I’m not against hanging from belt loops.  Self Edge makes really cool hangers for that.  I don’t know if they sell them.

I’ve never treated a leather patch before.  They seem to take care of themselves…
