IH-888-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/blk

@Filthy standing out in the snow in sliders and a cut off tee? You could be Norwegian mate. Jeans look great and everyone likes a bit of girth  Looking forward to post soak impressions.

Those look great, Mike! I’m still holding out for an 888 out of regular XHS. This is too similar to my pronto double indigo 25oz. The measurements are really perfect, though.

@neph93 You have to know I’m real happy for you. I can’t imagine you not loving these. The only things in life we regret are the ones we don’t do.

Thank you sir, thank you very much. I think a bit of irresponsible acquisition now and again is a necessary thing. It's all about the balance.

@Filthy:

They are incredible.

Finally some photos. Thanks man!

Does the contrast stitching appear loud in reality? I'm not sure what to make of the way the really dark fabric with that stitching looks in the photos.

I like the yellow stitching a lot. But I do think the yellow arcs are loud. So this is why I prefer the stealth arcs.

@neph93 I love being cold. I have to work outside a lot, soaking wet even. So I am used to it. I would love to go to Norway and see the Aurora Borealis.

@sabergirl thanks. I am delighted. I will post a ton of pics when I am able to wear them tomorrow. They're on their 3rd soak now. I keep changing the water to keep it hot. My initial impression of these is that they are thicker that the Pronto XHS double indigo.

@twin I think they might bust me. I had a hell of a time buttoning them up. These are no joke.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Twin, every time I see you say "bust 'em" I think about this scene from one of my favorite movies, White Chicks.

[Jett129]

@Filthy I was wondering how you made out with the buttons. Was afraid you were going to say piece of cake. @sabergirl I feel like it’s a more intense(in every aspect) version of the Pronto /IH 25OZ,and that’s ,so far,my all time favorite denim.

@neph93 irresponsible?! Are you serious?!? This seems to become one of the most wonderful denims…

[kkibbey23]

I’m trying really hard to sit this out…. not sure I will make it. I’m a 25oz guy and really really digging these.

Needless to say I’m watching the stock levels on 36

@neph93:

Fekk it [emoji1]

Have you given up the resistance?

Ummm, yes. According to The Borg, it’s futile anyway [emoji1]Sized down to 33 too. Should be interesting…

Don’t know how I missed this. Fek yes

It’d irresponsible of me to own anymore denim than I already do. But no, I wasn’t entirely serious.

Good on ya Reuben. Black and blue through and through

Looking forward to comparing notes buddy.

[spitfiredealer]

There was no doubt in my mind @neph93 would end up getting a pair of these!!

Currently trying to think of how I can sell this purchase to Maddy…
My list of unused excuses are:

2yrs anniversary on Wednesday...
Valentine's Day soon...
Her annual vacay to Japan...

I should be good to go! But if you see a black eye in my fit pics, don't mention it, lol

Giles wants to buy a sous vide cooker so that she can cook with it next time you come and stay....

Forgiveness rather than permission, right? Plus black and blue just matches the pants!

But in all seriousness, I’ve devoted the past few months to stabilizing the finances (after the birth of our second). This won’t interrupt the financial plan, and I want them, enough said.

Pics when they get here.

Me too. They do “soften” quickly. But that’s subjective I think

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Bad pic. But these almost hold their shape horizontally now they have been soaked and dried. Getting ready to put them on now. Already broke a finger nail trying to button the fly a couple times. Haha xD

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Ever since my first pair of Iron Heart 25 XHS I have wanted a pair with small leg openings. So I really owe you one Crew, @Giles  and @Alex and Boss.

Also this denim feels super awesome and heavy. Like XXXHS. Thanks so much guys.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Also, @Madame Buttonfly and @AdamC were a ton of help too. Thank you.
