IH-888-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/blk
-
This time I soaked for about 5 hours and changed the water to make it scalding hot 3x times. Long enough to take mom to a doctor's appointment and out to dinner. Then I put a fan blowing on them overnight.
They did shrink quite a bit. They feel overall much more snug than when I first tried them on.
Also I didn't fuck up the patch xD
-
After the soak they fit like they were measured and tailored for me.
-
Yes. Just a thin coat. Don't overdo it. I just smeared it on with my thumb because it is the size of the top of the bottle. A little goes a long way. Also Wesco bee oil works super-awesome.
I kept it above the water though. It did slowly get wet as the water soaked through the waist. But as long as it isn't constantly under the hot water it will be fine.
-
My hot water doesn't get as hot as yours, I bet. Mine only goes to 120F. How hot is your hot-soak water?
128 degrees farenheit.
-
Take any before soak and post soak @Filthy ? These your daily jeans for a while?
-
I am sure it was mentioned, but are the arcs indigo dyed?
-
@Filthy thanks for the thanks, delighted the jeans have arrived with you, really appreciate all the help and advice you're giving everyone here, and it's great watching your latest XHS adventure unfold
-
Thanks to clarify @neph93
I love the indigo dyed arcs on my 18oz vintage. The Navy, non fading arcs will look awesome down the road. Mine will be here tomorrow, can't wait.

I’m really tempted to get these. I’ve never owned a 25oz pair of jeans. Closest is my Lee 101z 19oz which I love. I keep reading this forum and it’s getting hard to resist the purchase. My only concern is the thigh measurement. It seems quite big. I measured a bunch of my other pants and these have the biggest thigh (I’m looking at a 36). I just just order them and if they don’t fit the way I like I can always return. Everyone’s photos are looking great.

Or look at the 555 version. Much slimmer leg.

@neph93 Thanks for the suggestion about the 555's but I was too late and the 36's are gone. There is only 0.4 inch difference in the thigh measurement anyway.

Im basically talking myself into getting them!
