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

@alexswords did you give these a pre-soak, or just start wearing them straight away? Congrats man, They look amazing!

[alexswords]

For the contest I did give mine a pre soak to shed some of the starch but it’s not something you need to do with this pair. I actually like how they look when you keep them dry for as long as possible..

[NickyB]

Cool, I just ordered the IH-555-XHS and typically pre-soak, but am debating just wearing them dry as long as possible.

[NickyB]

I guess I'll see how they fit without a soak and go from there.

I wear mine dry for six months, then soak other soaks first the choice is your..

I’ve done both with XHS. There is shrinkage to be had, so not soaking at or near the start means you risk fade shift, but it is relatively little compared to unsanforised denim.

Thanks guys! Can't wait to start this journey. They are my first IH's. I've always been an ONI guy, but figured I'd finally bite the bullet and try these out.

[Kasi]

They will be your first, but won’t be your last..

If they're as good as everyone says, I'm afraid you're correct.

Love the little details on how this denim fades.

From an art perspective, the colors are so rich with saturation and complex.

Oh yea, those colors that start peeking out are really the good ones.
