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

I certainly wouldn’t call mine soft, they definitely still have some crunch to them. So much so that I think the first wash will be in a bathtub. But they are comfortable now, and I can see how these will be like butter in about a year.

When I say soft, I am speaking more to the surface of the denim when you stroke your hand over it. The hand. They feel like the finest silk, but are no means dainty. Mine seem to defy gravity.

I'd consider mine soft all around. I have worn these every day since received and put them through some stretching play times with the kid.

Love those little pops of bright blue that start to form here and there.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Looks like Jordon is winning the fading race. Hell yeah dude.

Holy cow, what a wonderful pair! 
Damn it, in the last few months I've been trying to stay away from jeans, but I'm falling back into addiction!  ::)

I'm thinking I'm going to do their first soak and wash soon. I'll be doing it in cool/cold water and drip dry as I don't want any shrinkage. I know they will stretch back out, but they so comfy now

Please do report back on shrinkage with a cold soak. I'm sure others would be curious.

If I feel like it, I'll measure pre and post wash. This would be a pair worn for a month straight now

I posted earlier in this thread with both a lukewarm soak and a hot soak.

I did some measurements in the sample thread. I felt like it

[Paul9221]

Dang, you're both right.  Sorry, must've forgotten!  Still, more data rarely hurts

SMALL RESTOCK

Awesome! Thanks for the update! 

Got my order in.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Something for the newest adopters to look forward to. 45 or so days wear.

Giles and Alex don't really mention it. But kudos to them for taking all of our suggestions and doing something with them! I have been asking for things like 4x shirts, easier to fade jeans, unbrushed and lighter weight flannels, 25 oz 888, husky cuts, you name it…. and they are absolutely killing it, in my humble opinion.

[Paul9221]

Looking fantastic!

Thanks! It's interesting to me that the dark to mid fade tone of these is the same as the non-faded shade of a pair of UHR. I can't wait to see everyone's pictures a year from now.
