@STR777:

Oh that's good to know about the wash. Do you just do a cold wash with mild detergent or pre treat with something?

I wash my shirts/cut & sewn on 40C in the machine with a regular detergent. I use oxy for bad stains on white or cream, but that’s mostly for marinara or curry sauce [emoji38]

Indigo bonds very poorly with cotton which is why we get fades. It also means that indigo transfer comes out of cotton very easily.

Thanks man, this is all great info that I will put to use.

Thanks for the replies!

My pleasure. There’s still a lot of myths and over-thinking around when it comes to this kind of thing. At the end of the day, they’re just clothes.

It’s good to learn something about indigo though, as that can be tricky. I try to be chill about the whole thing, but the idea of spot washing denim still gives me hives [emoji23]

[STR777]

Yes agreed, I like to know why things are happening when it comes to these clothes and their characteristics.

I had never heard of the indigo bonding poorly to cotton and that's what's creates fades and then also gets the transfer dye out easier.

I usually take a deep dive on new hobbies so this is all great knowledge.

Next purchase is a wabash vest so I'm currently reading through that thread!

Love the evolution of these. Bad boys. Taking them down to Florida for a break from the cold.

Nice electric blues everywhere on the thighs.

Beautiful GAH setup @Pipeboss713 !
Now my question becomes, do I give up my trusted and dependable GAH loop buddy for this looker?

First post around here (so I hope this works!). Been wearing these pretty consistently since…last February maybe?

@dfa Looking really good! Watch that your jeans don’t crotch blowout, but if they do, the guy’s at IH are really good at fixing them

[dfa]

@goosehd ha, you really got in there! Now that the 21s restocked, these are going to take a bit of a break and get sent off for repairs.

[CosmoSix5]

Love the contrast stitching on these. The 555s is definitely my IH fit. Now I'm deciding between the indigo 25oz, 21oz or these to rotate with the 14oz ib.

[MassiveThighs]

Hoping they come out with the OD version of these

Oh wow thanks! Didn’t know they came out in the 555!

Hey IH crew, on the product pictures, only the 555 cut has vertical stitching on the patch preventing a belt going behind. Is that the case, or are some of the pictures out of date?

[AdamJ]

@goldstone0 we've not updated the images on these since the last restock, which was a while back. The crew will check out the current stock shortly!

[JoshC]

@goldstone0 The 555S-SLB jeans features stitching on all four sides of the patch, so it's not possible to thread a belt behind it im afraid.

[goldstone0]

@JoshC thanks. Is that the same with other cuts?

[JoshC]

@goldstone0 555 and 888 are sewn down on all four sides the 634,666 and 777 are sewn down on two sides to allow for belts to slide through.
