IH-888-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/blk
-
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.
Or look at the 555 version. Much slimmer leg.

Me: Looking at the new denim Iron Heart made… these jeans are beautiful
Maddy: Buy them.Easier than expected lol

@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!

Ah, bummer.
I’m a big fan of the 888 cut but it took me a little while to get used to the wider thigh. Bare in mind that these’ll shrink a little and that some choose to size down with this cut. The rise sits a little higher on the body.

If I really like the denim (which I will) I could always take them to my tailor to try and alter them. that is if he can sew through the material. In all the photos they dont look too baggy at all in the thigh. Thats it, im going for it. You guys have delayed me long enough!

Take any before soak and post soak @Filthy ? These your daily jeans for a while?
I sorry, I didn't. But I know they shrunk because they were like a Chinese finger trap over my calves last night trying to take them off! I almost started to panic. Before the soak they slid right off. I would say somewhere between an .5 and 1 inch in all the usual places.
Yes these are going to be my daily jeans for as long as possible.

I posted the same question on the 555XHSib thread - did anyone who already buy the Pronto double indigo collab, buy a pair in this denim too? If so, please give me your reasoning (trying desperately to justify)…
I own both. And also several pairs of regular XHS.
I bought these because of the better fit. Also them denim in the new 888 is probably HEAVIER. Like it seems a lot heavier. Which is a huge plus for me.

Well I just placed the order. its all over but the crying.

Buy quality and only cry once.

The best fades come from initial soaks composed of 1 part tears, 4 parts tap water

Congrats @deanclean
Excited to see everyone's pics and hear their experiences here. Should have mine in hand in a week or so.

Yeah, I am super grateful that Iron Heart is cool enough to spring for FREE 2 day overseas shipping. I have tried to pay for the same UPS service and it was over $100.
Also, I am in love with the leg openings on the jeans, and the stacks.The honeycombs look freaking epic too because of the thickness of the denim. These jeans are a masterpiece.

@tvenuto I agree. I always go for the quality over quantity. At 600 CAD for these its a bit of a stretch, but I will be wearing them for years. I look in my wife's closet and see about 100 pairs of jeans that are basically "disposable" fashion. Ive got about 5 pairs that I wear regularly and will last basically forever. I also never wash them so im saving water too! ;D.
