[itto99]

Bonjour everybody! Thanks for the share on this topic, it help me a lot to make my decision to buy this denim. I just wanna know if someone have some pics of 5 or 6 month of wear? I m so curious about the potential fade

@itto99:

see the gold halo/beige weft 

Isn’t it amazing? Subtle and luxurious.

Will this denim ever be available in another cut?

yes it's really cool

but like u said before, this denim seems to fade slowly and completely different than other white weft : so I m little anxious about the compatibility with shirt/jacket indigo/white weft…  ::)

More pics!

We have loads of it left, we are trying to think what to do with it

I think you’ll be fine. It certainly looks excellent paired with brown duck.  Check out the IH-2526j.

Oh, well that’s easy. Make some 777’s out of it. There, problem solved. I’ll be over here if you have anything else you need to sort out. 

And if you really want to piss my wallet off, make a rider’s jacket out of it.

Managed to get a pair of these in the sale. They are way too long but great otherwise. Cloth feels wonderful.

Should I wash them now to get the leg shrinkage sorted and then get them hemmed? Am sure this might be sacrilege to some on here. But the alternative is to work out how long I want them add 1.5 inches  so they can shrink later when I finally wash them but all the honeycomb lines will be in the wrong places.

What is the collective wisdom on these matters?

[neph93]

They won’t shrink. You could boil them and they wouldn’t shrink. No soaking or washing needed. This denim is a far too well kept secret, it is absolutely beautiful. Great purchase.

I thought Sam did a shrink test

@Sam:

Shrink test results on a tag 34, 40 degrees and no spin.

[neph93]

Apologies…. my bad. I forgot these were released raw and assumed they behaved like regular 21oz aftee having been thoroughly sanforised. I have a pair, but they were the sample and arrived pre-shrunk.

[dj]

No worries. But back to the question at hand should I wash them now to get the shrinkage out of the way?

[neph93]

That is the safest move, although I’ve never done it.

[dj]

40 degree and low spin?

[neph93]

@dj:

40 degree and low spin?

That would do. Although very hot bathtub and a bit of agitation would be best. You’ll minimise the risk of abrasion marks that way.

Damn…they look interesting. Another one that I missed.

Followed your advice, turned boiler temp to max, and soaked the jeans in very hot water and agitated.

Lost just over an inch from waist and 1 3/4 inches from seam.  Hopefully the jeans will get back to me from IH HQ in time for a trip to the lake district tomorrow but the courier is more than likely to come 5 minutes after we depart.
