Great weather yesterday for a perfect lazy Colorado Sunday.

Got a question for you, that 3sixteen hoodie is ash grey, must be wash a lot with indigo dye getting to it

These arrived about a week ago, Tagged 33.  Day one, as you know, was tough but since then I have loved wearing them.  I think after a hot soak they'll fit just a bit better, but for now I think this will work.  After wearing I probably could had sized down by one but I decided don't need a full-on tight fit.  These definitely have a higher rise and more taper than my 633S and PIH5DCS.  Love the darkness of the denim.  This should be an interesting fading process.

They look good. A classic relaxed slim fit. When they get a good hot soak and some wear they look even better.

I’m also a geocacher. This was a quick stop in Iowa on my way to MN. Ice cracked as I inched out but held long enough to sign the log.

Hey guys and girls of the IH forum. I'm Michael & new to IH jeans & somewhat new to raw denim (a few months). I know buying these right now is sort of like getting a face tattoo as your first tattoo, but I'm the type that goes deep when I get into a new hobby. I got my IH-555-XHSib's last thurs and I'd like some opinions based on my fit photos. Is the length look good? Does this fabric shrink a lot with just cold water? I feel like I can't afford much shrinkage but I am noticing its stretching out comfortably

My dog is lurking harder than I was before I made an acc for this forum lol

I washed mine on the hottest setting at first and didn’t get all that much shrinkage in the length. Any shrinkage I got anywhere else stretched back out pretty quickly.

My thoughts on the jeans; I always glanced over people saying the buttons were difficult  boy oh boy they took me 15 mins with pliers and I have no plans of unbuttoning the bottom button. The rise on this is perfect. The combination of the slimness AND the thickness require that much room I believe. Restrictive when sitting upright in a chair, but that's getting a lot better on my 3rd day of wear. At first I wasn't convinced it was actually indigo hahah. I can't wait to see this contrast. Although I'm not sure what the non-fading black weft entails.

In my state of VA we get a lot of humidity in the summer but I'll try to tough it out like the incredible Indonesians & their amazing fades. I work in a welding/fabrication shop so these are liable to get burn holes on the first day so they'll be evening and weekend pants. I might relegate my older denims to the shop in time.

I'm realizing my s8 isn't taking the greatest photos

You will lose one inches in length at the most and some in the waist and tight put they will stretch back to post size.

What is u want

@majkel that looks like a great fit. They may be a little uncomfortable after a hot soak but they should stretch back out again. I’d advise a hot soak straight away to get the shrinkage put, but it is up to you.
