IH-461 - Non Selvedge 21oz Indigo Boot Cut Jean

[bwest1000]

I bought a pair of these from selfedge here in the states.  I am going to get them hemmed, but before I do I just wanted to ask about shrinkage after I wash them the first time.  How much should I expect?  I wear a lot of boots, and I am typically a 30" inseam.  I know what it says on the webpage, but I just wanted to make sure before I lop off the bottoms of my very, very nice jeans.  Since they are not selvadge, I don't plan on cuffing.

From the product page:

Sanforized so little or no shrinkage but like all denim, will stretch up to one inch in the waist with wear

I'm glad to see you're consistent, and I appreciate the reply. Thanks.

Does anyone have experience with these and the selvedge boot cut version?  I was wondering about any subtle differences that people might have picked up on by wearing both.  I have a pair of these, non-selvedge, but I am also interested in getting a pair in the selvedge.

Some love for 461.
Do you @Alex have any nonselvedge jeans planned?

[sabergirl]

Ooh, good question, Ed! 461 look good on ya

[steelworker]

Thanks @sabergirl !

We used to stock them but people who apparently can't read would buy them and then return them because they were not selvedge. The denim also does not have as much character as the selvedge 21oz. The 461 is also a tricky cut to get to fit right, which increased the number of returns.

Nothing planned, no

Does anybody know what the Z stands for in 461Z ?
@Alex @Giles

[Oaktavia]

@Travis2375 Z stands for zipper fly, as opposed to button fly.

Does anyone know if the resin treatment that the 461Z receives will be affected in anyway if you iron them? I found a used pair and may want to iron them inside out for a fresh start if it wouldn't have any negative effects. Or is ironing not a good idea, regardless of resin treatment? @Alex @Giles

[Giles]

it will not. Iron it whatever way you like.
