IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[bluemantra]

@spleef_oner Thank you. I think I'm going to give these a chance and see if the length will work. Mine fit pretty snug pre-soak and after the wash it was a real struggle to barely button them up. I was like oh I should've sized up, however, with 4-5 days wear they've stretched out and are just perfect. No belt needed. I think you nailed the fit.

@spleef_oner Small darn in the rear seat the size of a dime, rear pocket corner re-attach, darn on let leg wear-through, hem and pocket clean-up from keys wearing it -- at only 150 wears...

@indigostiff pricey repairs for sure , again though I’ve never had 25oz repaired before. I had self edge repair a pair of flatheads , they did large darns on both knees a, darn in the crotch area , replaced pocket bags, darned the top outer pocket area on one side , all for like 50 bucks . Mildblend did some darning on 3 spots on a different pair of flatheads and charged me about the same . Bummer on those repairs @ only 150 wears, did you soak/wash your xhs before wearing?

[indigostiff]

@spleef_oner Thank you for this. I did not soak before wearing.

[indigostiff]

@spleef_oner $50 is an insane deal for that amount of work done!

[spleef_oner]

@indigostiff I think the self edge price was due to the fact that I bought the jeans there , mild blend just has decent repair pricing. So I’m wondering if the not soaking your xhs was in part to blame for the damage in such a short time, the denim maybe stayed stiffer due to starches making for more extreme abrasion/wear? Just a thought.

This is likely a contributing factor.

@spleef_oner but the crotch is sound lol.

[spleef_oner]

[spleef_oner]

[bluemantra]

@spleef_oner I slept in mine the first night washing to loosen them up.

They break in quick - literally in under 5 wears.
