IH-555-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
I have the pronto XHS, I have two pairs of them. With yellow and blue arc on each pocket. Talking on same level most definitely.
Out of all, mine favourite is XHS material is awesome out of this world. Raw feel at it best get better when it go softer, called it magic and way the indigo fades.

Just got my first pair of Ironheart jeans. I thought I may as well go big or go home. 25oz are the heaviest denim I've owned. Have had 21oz Unbranded and 22oz Naked and Famous Elephant 6's.
Really struggled with the buttons, now have a sore thumb. Waist button was the worst.
Worth it, these are built to last

@sisterray great denim great cut. The struggle is part of the initiation, you have to go through it. First time I put mine on I thought I'd sized all wrong. I dreaded going to pee for the first two days wear. Of all the pairs I've had, they are my favourites.

You’ll get lots of different answers to that question,none right or wrong. I’m in the minority in that I can’t wear them out of the bag,so right in the wash they go. Some soak first,some don’t. It’s been said that you set the stitching with a warm soak and are less likely to get blowouts. Whatever you ultimately decide they’re awesome jeans and you’re going to love them.

I have worn 7 different pairs of 25oz, wear for six months at least without washing to get the perfect jeans, that would give the looks then soaks them, wear for six moths then wash..
Here sample of 777 25oz…

They will shrink the first time you wash them, so keep that in mind. And a cold soak doesn’t count. I would definitely give them a warm wash before wearing them, I did with mine. Like Jett129 said, lots of different answers.

I was planning to wear them a few weeks then give them a cold soak. Any thoughts, good idea or not necessary?
@Jett129 is right, everyone has their way. It should denim specific and pertinent to the facts in hand though.
Never really understood the point of cold soaks or what they are meant to achieve. Some jeans soften with some water, I suppose. These don’t. Only way to soften them is to beat the crap out of them. One way or another.
This denim is sanforised and unwashed. That means most of the shrinkage is gone but there is a little left. Getting the last shrinkage out may be a good idea so you know how the jean fits in it’s newly washed state and to avoid the possiblity of honeycombs being moved when the inseam shortens. A hot soak with agitation will remove the shrinkage.
If you can go for six months without a wash and not smell like a well used jock strap then by all means do. I can’t. A lot of people think they can and get surprised when their boyfriend/girlfriend tells them they stink. I don’t think any of us paid $400 to smell like a hobo. So imho, if your jeans start smelling, they’re really dirty. You should probably wash them. Wear them hard and the fades will still be epic.
Enjoy your XHS, this is some of the best denim on the planet, I think.
