@wielerj said in IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo:
- does soaking the jeans prevent indigo transfer? I have some light coloured furniture and I’ll be in some trouble if the indigo streaks onto the furniture.
It may a little but it will not nullify it, wear and washes will do, but that doesnt help your furniture in the short term, sorry
- Regarding honeycombing, how much allowance should I give for that when considering hemming? Thanks a lot !
0.5", plus the shrinkage quoted on the product page

@indigostiff Happened to me leaving Gainesville last month. Got felt up all over my dang 25s by a stout redhead...while making eye contact.
edit: just noticed your post I was replying to was not from today. Either way, it happened and my empathy for you man.

@Alex thanks for the quick reply.
-
Is sizing chart expected to have no change?
-
@bluemantra no change
-
Back from hemming. Went pretty snug with these!
-
I thought these were going to be too snug, but after three days of wear they’ve stretched nicely. I think I went too short on the inseam though. Will the hem opening drape better with time? They look wide and short. If not may have to list these for sale.
-
@bluemantra it all comes down to personal preference. And yes the XHS will become softer and will drape a bit better then they do now but also will take a bit more length because of the honeycombs and when the fully set in. For me personally this would be to short cause i like a bit more length for multiple reasons. What does your gut say? Cause in the end you need to wear them.

As I watched stock in my size dwindle I became weak and had to pull the trigger on a pair… decided to size down from my normal 34 to 33, think I made the right choice. They’re pretty spot on pre-soak, my plan is to wear them for a cpl wks to get some stretch then soak to bring the stretch back down. Will see how it goes but loving the fit so far.
-
@spleef_oner I think you'll be very happy with sizing down. Mine were pretty painful after first wash, but have since stretched to be comfortable and they're still loosening up. Looks like a solid fit to me.
-
@spleef_oner look awesome man!
-
I wore mine for 150 days and sent them to Rain at Indigo Proof for a "once over" and repairs -- $280. That hurt a bit.
-
@indigostiff damn!! What all did they do? Mild Blend in Chicago has always done me solid on repairs as far as quality of work and price , I have not had them do work on 25oz though.
-
@bluemantra good to hear they’re wearing in well and becoming comfortable, what did you decide as far as length goes? Going to hang onto them? I actually dig the look, especially w those boots, lookin sharp!
@Bailey thanks man!!
-
@spleef_oner they'll stretch back out in the waist to presoak measurements if you soak them before wearing. If you remove any remaining shrink first, you will not have fades shifting and will not lose any progress you started before soaking.
