IH-555-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo

[fatmike71]

is it ok if i didn’t do an initial soak on my 555-xhs.. just been wearing them everyday since they arrived.. still super stiff i’m thinking to maybe soak them? i’ve only been wearing them 20 days so i wouldn’t expect them to be too comfy yet

[Lowlander]

@fatmike71 That's certainly a good idea. A hot soak with plenty of agitation will get most of the shrinkage out. And the advantage of that is that your fades won't shift after a wash. Also, an early soak doesn't mean your jeans will no longer get high contrast fades, so no need to worry about that.

[fatmike71]

@Lowlander i’m thinking of doing it mostly because of this fade shift everyone is talking about..

@fatmike71 Great pair of jeans! I'd say these are my all time favourite so far.

You may be fine either way, but I did an early soak (and a wash) with this pair and it worked out great. Peace of mind if nothing else, to get most of the shrinkage out right away.

It may soften things up a bit as well. This particular pair was very soft right out of the paper bag though, and comfort would have been excellent either way, whereas I felt my XHSBB was quite stiff initially and certainly softened up a bit with a soak/wash.

[JunkPants]

101 wears. Dig XHS.

[Oaktavia]

@JunkPants nice those look great man.

[JunkPants]

@Oaktavia Thanks man. XHS is so good. Not a lot of progress at the moment as I'm doing the Indigo Invitational with some SBGs, but will be sneaking in some XHS/XHSib here and there.

[Oaktavia]

@JunkPants yeah man I would be too! Those are my favorite denims, XHS and XHSib.

@Oaktavia SBG is great (very good year-round), but the 25oz is certainly my favourite as well. Love the way it fades, and love the feel of it while wearing it or even just handling it.

Every XHS is legend! XHSib and XHSbb are insane but XHSmb is also very cool! But i must say that the cozy feeling from the XHSib is legend compared to my XHSbb for example. Anyway.. good this one is restocking again

[JunkPants]

@Heavy_blue Yep!
(I think I have all the 25oz variants except for the Pronto editions. Hoping to see a return of the indigo/indigo version especially at some point)

And for those picking up some 555-XHS when it restocks, you are in for a treat
