IH-777-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo/Black
-
@FlavourFade if i may step in.. the OD one is basically a regular indigo which has been overdyed with black sulphur dye which will fade with wear and washing overtime which will lead to more muted but still amazing fades. A IB denim hasn’t been overdyed but the weft and weave has been dyed in 2 colors. Indigo and black which will lead to super sharp fades especially if you keep then away from the washing machine. You’ll find some fade results here on the forum and choose the one to your liking. Have a good one!

@Luijim78 love the freshness of a new pair IB’s and how they’ll evolve
-
I think ib and lefty 19oz are my 2 favs fabric! But i think i’ll aim SBG for my next faders
-
@Luijim78 i’m just on the fence between those 2 cuts i like the 555 rise wise but sometimes the topblock can be a but loose on me so i was thinking about the 666
-
Thanks so much you guys @Luijim78 & @Heavy_blue !
Think I'm gonna pull the trigger. The problem with stuff like japanese selvedge denim is that often the runs are very limited which I understand but it is very hard to be patient and not just buy everything that looks cool because of being afraid you may not get a pair of jeans or a shirt later...
And being crazy impatient like me makes this an issue
it's an addiction

excellent choice
-
@FlavourFade the way to go
-
@FlavourFade I understand you very well. I have the same problem... never mind

@FlavourFade You did the right thing.

777 looks good very slim or a bit baggy if you ask me! They look definitely relaxed but still slim, cool! If you’re going to hemm them then i would definitely soak/wash them first since they’ll shrink a bit! I always soak my xhs hot to get the most shrinkage out.
-
@Heavy_blue thanks my man! I think I am going to soak them and let them hangdry after but wear them like without hemming until I get bored of the big cuff
I really like the look already and I do not love to wait a couple days until its dry but I want to give them a good start
-
@FlavourFade almost sure you already know this but put them inside out before soaking! Let them drip dry untill they are fully dry before you’ll flip them again
-
@Heavy_blue Any special reason for letting them dry before flipping back again? I usually wash inside out then flip back to air dry.
-
@bluemantra I do the same as you and don’t have a problem
-
@Heavy_blue I always put my denim inside out wenn I (and that barely happens) wash them in the machine but for soaking I never did that. Does that mess up anything? I just soaked them for 40 minutes but not inside out.
