IH-634S-19L - 19oz Left Hand Twill Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I'm getting some fades popping through on my honeycombs… Thought you might like.  They are quite ripe from wearing a lot so I'm giving them a breather. For a day. I'll probably resume wearing on Monday.

634-21L are the pants I have on.

Those look like they’ve got a really solid start, Mike. Love it

@Filthy theyre looking sweet my dude

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Thanks guys

I'm back in the FGLs today. I gave them a spritz of isopropyl, let them dry and then and then a liberal douse of Railcar denim spray…
They no longer stink. This stuff works really well. I recommend it.

Using some redneck engineering to hot soak my babies… I don't want to ruin the patch in the hot water. I have a thin piece of plywood underneath to keep it above the laundry tub. And a piece of lathe through the patch and belt loops.

Very good

@Filthy That is so awesome. @Ben needs to see this!

[Ben]

Yes I've had this problem but never thought of that so looks like a trip to the lumber yard is overdue for sure

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Thanks guys! @Ben it took about an hour for the capillary action to reach the bottom right corner of the patch. So keep that in mind. And use a small hose to create a siphon to drain the container so you don't accidentally flood where you are doing this when it comes time to drain the container. Don't try to lift the jeans out before the container is almost drained… Or do this outside or on a cart and then go outside.

Haha okay cool, maybe I'll print that & have the different steps numbered like flatpack furniture instructions or I'll definitely mess it up 

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Lmao

Edit: FWIW, I highly recommend soaking the denim in hot water like I did. They didn't shift and the denim is deodorized and stiff and rough again just like when they were new. I will probably do this to all my jeans from now on instead of wearing them until they are ghastly… I'll be soaking my slubby Pronto Anniversary jeans like this next.

@Anesthetist  haha more like 'marginally less BO'

Unrelated the combs on my FGL-19L are pretty crazy since the last soak and trip through the dryer. They didn't shrink at all and the waist was stretched back out to what it was before in a couple hours.

I could never get combs like that on the 634 cut I may have to hire you out [emoji23]

it's because the denim is so stiff and my big legs.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I'm getting some slight fades on my lefties… I wanted to share with you.

@Filthy Those jeans are going to be great and you can already see where they're heading…do you still spray the creases?  I love how they are always so sharp and well defined. 

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

No that's just from them being slightly damp when I put them on. I had hot soaked them then ran them through the dryer about 20 minutes on high heat and then put them on when they were a touch damp.

I'm having a bad-ish day so I crushed a six pack in two quarters of a football (NFL) game. I'm more of a two to three beer kind of gentleman these days… 

Anyway, I was just admiring how soft these jeans have gotten compared to how rough they were from the onset. I am kind of amazed by the 'textural evolution' of this particular denim. They went from the roughest IH denim I've had to just as soft as anything I've had. There's still a little uneveness of the texture of the denim but the had is as crazy soft as some of my most broken in pairs.

I now get the earlier comparisons of this denim to the 18 oz denim because it has gotten just as soft. But I think the perceived weight feels much stiffer and thicker than the 18 oz denim and I think the weight feels more like 21 oz.

Thanks a ton to @neph93 for picking them out (if you did). I'm not sure about who chipped in on them or who did what or who decided these were it.

@LewisStonehouse  @sabergirl @Giles @Oaktavia @goosehd like I'm so grateful for them and I am really enjoying them…. A lot. I have been sleeping in them and where them as much as possible to try and get some fades for you, to show my gratitude. I absolutely love them and I sincerely appreciate how kind everyone is to me (from the bottom of my heart).
