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

@Filthy:
These jeans are so pleasurable to wear. I wish the camera was able to capture the sheen of the denim. They are so soft now.
I agree, been wearing these 25 ounce IH-888-XHSib jeans for awhile now, my absolute favourite pair of jeans, still nice and stiff, but they are incredibly comfortable, and pics don't do justice to what great colour these jeans have, really stunning pair of pants, wear them in the office on Fridays, and they are obviously such a nice cut, well designed pant, that they pass for business casual.
Guess I'm the odd person out, but I actually don't like my jeans to do the big fade, like them looking new and crispy.
And Filthy, those Samurai jeans you sent, had them tapered a bit and the waist brought in a tad at a superb tailor, great pair of jeans, but you are absolutely correct, they don't compare to the IH's in my opinion.
Cheers….:-)

My new pair 888XHSib, luckily i was Think that having a 25oz must upsize from normal size, and BOOM!, exactly what i thought, this is really feels good on me but more roomy on thigh, i wear size 38 on 888 UHR but it feels same as XHSib size 40, And i dont know whats wrong with this but surely its because the fabric has thicker than UHR, so xhsib has lil bit tight for me if i wear real size. ::)

Finally picked up a pair for the Indigo Invitational on Facebook through Godspeed. I was worried about sizing up to 36 for these or that they would be too similar to my 18oz double indigos. They are a completely different beast!

They were all covered in mud so I hosed them off and did another hand wash. I didn't get all the mud off unfortunately. But I hope maybe that they will shed some dirt after wearing them for a while because I do not want to machine wash them.
-
I’d hand wash them again and just let them soak for a while in the soapy water to get all the mud out. They look great though.
-
I am just gonna roll with it I think.

It seems like most of the dort should come off eventually. They don't smell at least.
-
Wtf is dort?

Looking better everyday @Filthy
Thanks. I am bummed the honeycombs shifted a little from the last wash because the denim seems to have thickened up…. But as fast as the jeans fade they should still look pretty great. I had been working in them and got them covered in mud. But now I think I am going to go easier on them so I don't have to wash them as often.
-
I think they are already the best looking pair I've ever owned. The denim is so dang pleasurable to look at and wear. They are getting a bit hot to wear now though.

That's an example of why I think it's absolutely pointless to wear a new pair of jeans for any length of time without washing them, whether unsanforized or sanforized, raw or one-wash. Washing may have some effect on the jeans' color, texture, etc. but so what? if you are gonna wash them at some, just wash them carefully before you start wearing them so you don't run into any surprises in the future.
The exception being if you plan to NEVER EVER wash them. That's gross.

@Filthy regardless of my opinionated comments, your pair is looking great. The color of the denim is stunning.
Mine are still in the paper bag w/ tags on. I'm still committed to my DWC2 888-NT's for the next few months.
starting to set in. These are gonna fade insanely!
