Thanks @JoshC I were trying to get to the page early this morning (I’m near Toronto) and couldn’t get to the page. I thought for a second they didn’t exist!
-
@deanclean oh dont you worry brother they certainly do exist, so three more hours (11am for you) and they will be live and restocked on the website!
-
Had a pair of these in my cart yesterday but couldn’t pull the trigger. Waiting on the 292 CPO. I’ll probably end up just getting both.
-
My pair just arrived yesterday... first pair of 25oz. These jeans are absolutely ridiculous!
I can already tell I am going to love them though.

-
@Lowlander They are the BEST faded pair on this forum. Great job at fading them.
-
@Rangadello Wear them a lot. They will look good in the future.
-
@twin Thanks! That means a lot, coming from the grandmaster of fades himself!
-
@twin Working on it
@Lowlander Thanks! And wow! That's an incredible pair. -
My first pair of ultra heavy 25oz jeans showed up a little over a week ago and after confirming the fit I took them up to mildblend to get them hemmed up.
all I can say is wow……
these may be the best fitting pair of jeans I own and this fabric is just nuts, the depth of the color and thickness is just off the charts. Thanks to the team at IH and specifically Ross for working with me to get the perfect measurements picked. I couldn’t be happier with them !!!
-
@CMcCartie my pleasure! You'll have to keep me/us posted with how they evolve, the XHSib produces some glorious fades in no time

@CMcCartie
great fit ! did you already soaked them ? -
@Daniel-San when they showed up they actually fit so perfectly without a soak I decided to take @alexswords advice and “wear em dry till they die” lol. The stiffness was brutal the first few days but they are already softening up and the creases have set in super strong and look incredible.
I plan on cold soaking them and hanging them in the sun if they ever need it in the future.
-
@CMcCartie wearing them dry is definitely a path that you can choose, but beware that if/when you do soak/wash them that they will shrink slightly. The biggest issue will be that the honeycombs will slightly shift at that point (possibly a 1/2 inch). This will give them a slightly hazy-esque appearance or cause them to start to form new creases/honeycombs which you may or may not like.
-
@goosehd I may be wrong but if I cold soak (not hot soak) I shouldn’t loose anything in the leg.
I talked with Graham about this and was told not soaking was fine since they are sanforised and if I did a (cold soak only) i wouldn’t loose anything in the leg but he may have been referring my fear of losing room in the thigh which is the main reason for me not soaking them lol.
Do you think a cold soak will shrink the inseam ? -
@CMcCartie I think with a cold soak that you will
be fine, but a hot soak and agitation that you will get some shrinkage (not a lot, but possibly 1/2”) in all dimensions. Any dimension under strain will stretch back out (waist), where the length will not.@Graham I am hoping that this is correct and that you can confirm?
Thanks!
-
@goosehd I appreciate your input! Definitely something I want to figure out now, instead of down the road when it could cause a bigger problem.
