IH-555-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo/Black
-
You might as well just carry on wearing them as day 2 will be the same whether it is now or in March. Using them is the only thing that softens them. All part of the vaguely masochistic fun of 25oz denim [emoji1]
Jeans are looking great btw! Fantastic score.
You're totally right. I got up today and put them on immediately! Gotta say that I absolutely love the fit, so that will make the whole ordeal easier to deal with.
I did have to stand up in the middle of a work meeting yesterday to get some blood flow down past my knees
!!!
and thanks @Oaktavia your jeans are looking amazing! How long have you been wearing them?
I just feel bad for my Prontos now
Can't wait to see some progression… -
@Smiladon My first wear was was February 15, 2019. I have been wearing them 2-3 times a week every week minus mid June to late August. I have been tallying 124 wears so far.
Oh! youre sleepy wizard! Your IG posts are what resparked my desire for these jeans. I thank you.
I just hope my wife never finds out how much these things actually cost!

Haha yes indeed. How tall are you? I'm 6' 3" but still need to cuff my pair (unhemmed) twice to fit nicely. I think I have short legs compared to my torso.
…
Maybe wait to tell her after the fades evolve. Perhaps she'll understand after

You're right there, she was the first woman to comment/appreciate on my selvedge and boots, on our first date, i knew she was the one (kind of joking but kinda not) She's very supportive…
to a point.I'm 6'7" and love that I can give these, and my other IHs, a decent cuff.

I have a visible mark on my hip from where I got a blister from my UHR's a couple of years ago. Am yet to take the 25oz plunge.
Top work from everyone in this thread, great fades.
@AdamJ I have that too! But not from these jeans, but from my 777s-21. Which seems strange, since that fabric is much softer and more supple compared to the XHSib. So I reckon it must be a combination of the cut (low rise waist band chafing on my hip bone) and an unforgiving belt…

The top block on the 777 is pretty trim and supple or not a 21oz denim waist band is not to be f**cked with

Oh hell yeah dude your pair is evolving so nice. I think you and @twin are faded the most. I dig seeing both of your photo posts because it gives me an idea where mine will be in a month or so
-
@alexswords Yours looks the best so far. The fades are epic. My jeans have not been in any water yet.

Probably my favorite pair of IH jeans I've owned. Surprisingly, it's not a chore to wear them. The other 25oz pair I have is still a struggle. I even ran in them. (It was a very short distance.)
