IH-555-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo/Black

[alexswords]

@twin @Lowlander @f12 You guys! i love the look of your still dry Indigo x Black  ???. If i wasn't competing in the Indigo Invitational i think i would've opted to keep mine dry as well.. The beautiful dry/shiny look is unbeatable! keep us posted and i'd love to see a pair heavily worn and still dry.. I feel like @swiss-jeansfreak wanting to see "heaviest faded raw denim still dry 400 wear days later!!!"  Awesome job guys

@f12:

It’s as if these jeans have a “crossroads” point from what I’ve seen here and comparing my own ! It’s pretty crazy on how it develops depending on the use/washes/other factors

These are my riding jeans shy of 70ish wears and they’re barely starting to develop some high contrast fades & the threads are starting to pop up a bit under bright day light.

They’re turning brown/purplish too from wrenching on bikes. This fabric is just amazing

Zero washes or soaks so far but I did ride through an hour of torrential downpour which gave the right leg some twist

Great pair, great story!

@Lowlander:

And probably smells awful!

Sure, will post some pre- and post-wash pics!

I don't want anywhere near them!

[Oaktavia]

@twin looking fantastic. How many wears?

[twin]

@Oaktavia  I do not know how many days I have been wearing them. Would say around 200 days est.

[twin]

@alexswords  Just took a lot of fade photos. Will be posting them soon.

[twin]

Here you go LOTS of fade pics.

Nice looking pair dude! For sure each of the pairs on here are unique, with or without washes. I love all of the results and the fades are all one of a kind. It's a different sort of visual color and texture.

I've been wearing my new 555-01 and might be benching my 555XHSib early this year…

@Oaktavia  I am wearing them along with the 666 ducks and 666 SBG.

Nice combo!

[twin]

@Oaktavia  the 666 Ducks are the newest.

@twin:

@Oaktavia  the 666 Ducks are the newest.

I wonder how your 666 Ducks will evolve…

I almost purchased the 19oz Lefty jacket but decided for these instead. Needed something lighter than 25oz or 32oz for summer.

Might opt for the Lefty this fall but who knows!?

[twin]

@Oaktavia  There are some fades on the ducks. Mostly on the pocket with the wallet inside it.

@Lowlander:

@Oaktavia, I checked out swissjeansfreak's pair of XHS on Instagram. 1000+ wears, and unwashed! The pair looks really impressive. And probably smells awful!

Sure, will post some pre- and post-wash pics!

Yeah you got me and my still never ever washed  25 oz IH jeans are not so fresh anymore after 1008 wear days ha ha

[Lowlander]

Great to hear from you @swiss-jeansfreak! Your XHS jeans do look fantastic!

As it happens, I gave mine their first wash yesterday, after 120 days of wear.

Here follows a large number of pics!

Pre-wash:

[Lowlander]

I found out they were pretty filthy…

Then some post-wash pics:

They were stiff as a board again when they had dried up, so I had some fun with them:

Love the high contrast areas. Nice work @Lowlander . Did you soak them when you first got them?

[Lowlander]

Thanks, @Palmer! Yes, I gave them an initial hot soak before wearing them.

Inspiration for my pair. I'm trying to get in as many days before it gets too hot.
