IH-888XHSib - 25oz Indigo/Black Sample Thread

[Matty123]

Couple of fit pics before a 100F soak. I’ll be hemming them again after I
Get all The shrink out.

Every pic I see of these I like them more than the last time I saw them. By the time they come out I’ll be bug eyed and frothing if this rate continues. That’s assuming my imminently arriving recycled 888s work out like I think they will. Thread bookmarked, and thanks for keeping us updated.

Spam with photos. We’re all dying to see

[Matty123]

You got it bro. Humid wet weather here is delaying the drying of these HEAVY jeans. Will measure as soon as they dry

@Alex I will be hot soaking again in 50-60C waterTo
See how much more shrink I can get.

[Fadez]

Give it some decent agitation in the tub. I usually rock it back and forth and flip it a few times. That will aid the shrinking.

[Matty123]

I did some of that yesterday with the 100F water. But I will do more this next time when I do the hotter soak

[brobles]

Fantastic pair, definitely looking to get myself a pair of 555's. Thank you for the progress shots and measurements on these!

[Matty123]

You got it @brobles I’ll keep it up
For y’all.

[ROman]

Looking great @Matty123 . It's nice to be agitated, HaHa.

[Matty123]

Thanks Sam. Hope you’re well and not too hot over at JFK. Been hot here lately.

Would you ever consider putting them in the drier,cause that's what I've found gets the shrinkage out. Put them inside out to avoid any kind of friction marks.

[Matty123]

Idk… that makes me a little Too nervous. Especially with a denim this dark. I would hate to F them up. These might be a one off for all I know. Gonna try 140F water first

[Jett129]

I think that's the best approach. I'd hate for you to F them up as well. Especially on my suggestion. If you're ever going to be in NYC wearing them,give me a shout,and maybe I can meet you and buy you a beer.

I’m a reckless wisher.

Do you have one of those dryer drying racks? Or is it a combo of the tumbling and heat that helps with shrinkage?
