          @Oaktavia I was expecting this to happen. Nothing like a proper machine wash to get rid off the already loose particles from stress areas.
          But mostly I’m mesmerized by the coin pocket photos. The way the warp looks there under tension, the geometry of it.

            @Karol serious slow burner though compared to the XHSib. With my last pair of those at this point, the electric blues were crazy popping. Double dipped in those OD really make these fades something to earn.

              Progress with these Mad Black. Two machine washes and one dryer cycle. I think that helped loosen up the dye. They were still super dark prior.

                  yup, they are finally showing signs of fading in multiple types of light. I wanted to show both indoor and outdoor.

                    Perfect lighting to see the fades. I'm excited about these more than ever. What a unique, fun denim to wear. So curious how these will evo over the next year +.

                      @Oaktavia man!! I’ve always wanted one of those “READ” posters of me and a favorite book! All the teachers at my school had one made like the year before I got there. It’s like channeling you inner Mr. Rogers!!

                        @Mizmazzle hahaha good eye my guy. I actually had two of them made. It was set up by a prior admin I think like 7 or 8 years ago. I tried to get them to do them again but just the two so far. Maybe I'll advocate for one this year. I held a Vincent van Gogh book in one and Fellowship the Ring on the other.

                          @Oaktavia we should get a petition going!! I’d love to have a copy of Bukowski’s “Notes of a Dirty Old Man “ In my hand in my Read poster.

                          I’ve asked so many times if we can run that campaign again!!

                            @Oaktavia did you notice any significant stretch in the waist after wearing yours for so long without a wash?

                              I wear my jeans one or two sizes too big so I don't know.

                                Right on… just grabbed a pair. Actual measurements are under tag size, just curious if they will let up at all. Anyone that runs them tight have any experience with these?

                                    @Memphisakers Here is some data from earlier in the thread for you.

                                    @zyzzyx said in IH-888-XHSMB - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut - Mad Black:

                                    I bought a size 40 pair of these Mad Black jeans right away when they first came out.  I noticed that the waist measurement was only 38.2 inches, but I was not concerned, as I have a heavy duty waist expander that works quite well on my Iron Heart jeans.  I soaked the new jeans in cold water before using the expander.  I was able to stretch the waist more than 2.5 inches wider. These do seem to be softer than my other 25oz IH jeans.  I would not describe them as rigid, nor will they stand up on their own.  This dark color is currently my most favorite in my IH collection.

                                      @goosehd that kinda helps I guess… I was more curious about the typical type of stretch you get with IH jeans from wearing them tight. I feel like any jeans would stretch wet with a jeans stretcher.

                                        @Matt 🤣 I wish! Got mine off grailed, they were reasonable and in my tag size. Thought it may be my only chance to grab a pair so I went for it. They are at least an inch under hence the questions about stretch.

                                          Yeah I don’t know man. They’re for sure high on my list but based on the measurements chart I’d have sized up I think. Great score. Worth trying to stretch.

                                            @Matt I’m gonna try to tuff it out, but they are pretty bad in the waist. All other measurements are just about perfect. Tight xhs is nothing to scoff at 🤣
