IH-777S-18 - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

[WhiskeySandwich]

About 2+ months of wear, pre-wash pics. Post-wash will follow after they’re dry and get their mojo back in a couple days. Love this denim. Even in the summer!

@WhiskeySandwich The 18oz vintage is my favourite IH denim and can wear it year round. Jeans are starting to look really good!

[WhiskeySandwich]

Thanks man! Yeah it’s super versatile. I wear these 5-6 days per week. Kinda gross I guess, but I’ve been putting off the wash because I love how soft they get in the shiny areas and didn’t want to lose that. It was 90+ and super humid though and I was pretty funky after a walk around the neighborhood yesterday. Also riding the bike in em, they get plastered with bugs. Figured they were due. Lol

[WhiskeySandwich]

The wash toned down the shine a bit in exchange for some nice fuzzy, velvetiness. I’m surprised and pleased that they didn’t shrink, probably thanks to putting them on slightly damp. Didn’t think they could get any better after a wash but I love them even more now.

18’s looking awesome @WhiskeySandwich

@WhiskeySandwich that is amazing for around 2 months but now I remember my 18oz CPO lost indigo if you started at it hard enough. Awesome denim for sure.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia yeah man, it’s been hot lately and I just wear jeans nonstop for everything. Not a shorts guy, probably sweat did it lol. MD humidity.

MD humidity.

I lived in MD for 35 years of my life. Just recently moved across the river (literally less than a mile from the border) to WV. Where at in MD you living? I spent most of my time in Frederick.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia I wish I could make the commute from WV, love it there, just can’t stand the beltway. I’m in Calvert, next to the bay, but work up north. I can’t wait to get out of the rat race in central MD. I’m about as far as I can get away from it and still make the drive. I’m def more of a backwoods type dude. We get up your way every so often, I’ve got friends in Gerardstown.

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich oh nice man I have family in Prince Frederick and Lusby. And yeah don't miss the beltway area one bit.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia shoot, it’s a small world! I never see anyone rocking raws around here, let alone IH, but if run into ya I’ll be sure to say hey, brother!

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich hell yeah man

[WhiskeySandwich]

Little recording sesh snap with the cheater flash on to make the combs pop. It’s hard to photograph denim in a way that really captures it properly. Regardless, These are my favorite. I want them to last a long time so I might start washing them a little more, especially since it’s HOT outside.

[WhiskeySandwich]

Alright, just got back from Florida for a week and these guys put work in so they’re getting their second wash after about 4 months of wear.

[goosehd]

@WhiskeySandwich Those are starting to look great

[JunkPants]

@WhiskeySandwich Looking very good!

[WhiskeySandwich]

Thanks dudes, I love em. The fades seem to be accelerating and I think this wash frequency will turn out some nice results. I’m eyeing the 21od restock though so there’ll be 3 in rotation at that point with the 142bb.

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich fantastic work my dude. Looking so awesome with your fades.

Had to do a third wash thanks to our kayak fishing trip yesterday. Got em covered in bay water, sand, and fish slime.
