IH-666-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo/Black
-
Thank you. I just wish the waist was .5-1” smaller. The thighs and hips are snug. Just worried with wear they’ll keep falling down. So far the hips are tight enough to keep them up.
-
@bluemantra you can always shrink the waist only. If the rest is good! Or wear a belt
-
@bluemantra I see. Sure looks like a great fit otherwise
Dig the look of the 666 cut.
Personally I find the thigh measurement to be the crucial one. If the waist is a little loose or a little snug it always seems to work itself out after a bit. If the thighs are too tight you are screwed
I always use a belt belt though. -
@Heavy_blue Good to see you back man!
-
@JunkPants that’s sweet my man! Thanks!
-
@Heavy_blue How would I go about this? Just hot soak the waist only?
-
Late joiner, but this was my first submission for indigo invitational. 5 wears pre-soak, super hot soak, 6 wears post shrinking. Loving these things. Will post some fit pics at some point.
-
@bluemantra grab a bucket or fill your sink with hot water make sure only the waist will hit the water let it ‘swim’ for about 20 till 30 minutes. It’s a bit of a work but hope it will do the trick..
-
@bluemantra I wish your fit pic actually showed the waist as it’s covered by your t-shirt. If they are already too big, they may always end up being too big and even if you can shrink them, they will stretch back out with wear and time.
This may have been one of those instances where you should have waited for the size 31 waist.
-
These were pre-soak.
-
@bluemantra Those look right to me and how tight I normally start with.
Are you finding your pair too loose and where are they loose? Do you wear a belt with your jeans?
-
I agree with @goosehd they look allright to me as well!
-
wouldn’t size down , they look great
-
@goosehd just a little in the waist. But they were pretty tight in the hips and thighs, but are loosening up there nicely. Waist hasn't stretched at all. And I use with belt. It's a 33" waist. Debating getting same in XHS when released or going down, but then the hips and thighs may be too tight
-
Sizing down on XHS is a bad idea in my experience
-
with the note these are snug in the hips and thighs and the waist looks pretty appropriate even pre-soak, i say you've sized right. Definitely do not size down. Hell, you could probably size UP if you wanted a looser more 634 fit if you hot soaked the hell of out them and wore a belt.
-
Does everyone wear their XHS in the summer too?
-
🥵 the show ends with around 20 degrees or maybe up to 23.
I only know one person that’s hard enough to wear them over the summer @Jcaz6996
-
Breaking in a pair now. Summer here Down Under. 35c+ humidity gets a bit much but high 20s are ok.
-
@bluemantra i try to wear as long as possible! Mornings are colder so sometimes i wear them till noon and then switch to shorts or so.. ut also wore them in 25 degrees celcius or more! Just do what’s comfortable for you there is no guideline or so
