IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

[Skrietfranvildmarken]

Today was a good day!
A new pair of jean and as a bonus I got a IHJ-86-blk to match.
On Wednesday it’s time for a hot soak and then break in period will start. Guess these will be like a walk in the park if I compare to my 555xhs.

Awesome combo @Skrietfranvildmarken
Fit pics?

[Skrietfranvildmarken]

@weftyarn will come in a couple of days.

Time for a “pre wear” soak. I know that you maybe don’t need that for the 21oz, but I kind of like the process.

Got a pair today from Rivet and Hide. 33 tag. Snug on the waistband. Moved up from 555s.

@Richard looks great!
The waist will be just perfect in a weeks wear.

[Richard]

@Skrietfranvildmarken Thanks

[weftyarn]

Great fit @Richard

@Skrietfranvildmarken I also love the process of soaking, even with pairs where it’s not a necessity. There’s just something decelerating about it which I like.

250 wear days evolution. Washed maybe 7 or 8 times. Just worn for office work, walking the dog, etc, nothing crazy.

Great documentation @EdH

And it’s crazy to see how there’s a point where the fading kind of magically accelerates at around 150/200 wear days.

[EdH]

@weftyarn I think ~200 days was also their last wash, before I sent them to @JoshC last time for a crotch blow-out repair, so that’s probably why the thighs suddenly start to pop around that mark.

Not filming mine, but after a month’s wear, these are seriously showing some electric blue. Especially at the front and on the seat.

A week or so past the 5 month mark, just got their first machine wash/hang dry.
