IH-555-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
@cricca these look really good mate. Looks like minimal shrinkage? Did you go lukewarm water for the soak?
-
@Indigo_beef thank you! yes lukewarm... the water didn't even turn a little bit blue

@CosmoSix5 shoul;d be in the spring

Just pulled the trigger on a pair of these. Last tag 29 in the building.
Goes without saying but the dudes were so damn helpful walking me through sizing etc. IH CS could give a Ted Talk on customer service.
On a separate note, I’ve never had a pair of 25 oz denim before but I do have a Ship John Wills jacket and it’s gnarly af. Total beast to wear. Just realized they’re only 24 oz. What have I gotten myself into with these jeans
Good thing I’m a masochist haha
-
Got them today. Ten minutes and a bloody thumb later, I’ve got em on. They’re tight in the waist so I’ll follow @neph93’s advice and wear them for a week or so before a soak and wash. They are no joke but they aren’t as heavy as the Wills jacket (thank god) I guess because of the wax they put on it or something. I love these. Lookin’ forward to breaking them in for sure

I will steal this if I may. It is perfect:
“The root of all suffering is the giving of fucks”
-
@Giles have at it man. I lay no claims to the intrinsic truths of life 🪬
-
Gettin’ ready for a mile run to break these beasts in ASAP. Iron Heart track suit. Day old IH-555-XHS and 2 month old IHSH-295-IB. Dedication to the fade

@jiminstitches dang dude I’m on 27 days of wear and mine are still looking brand new. Guess that’s what I get for having a work from home office job
yours look great -
@jiminstitches solid work for 40 days dude...a stiff bristled brush for boots work well for getting dust and dirt out if you're avoiding a wash.
-
I'm so excited for these to get restocked. I'll be able to order a 35 tag size if the measurements remain similar. Down from a 42 tag.
Been a 38 tag for a while but he belts getting work done for that. -
200 wears on these today. Love XHS.
These were washed at 50 wears and 122 wears. Won't be too long before I give them another wash, but will hold out a little longer at least.Great to be back in XHS after a year of wearing SBG for the Indigo Invitational. That said, really starting to miss black jeans now. My love for black denim keeps growing stronger
-
Ended up washing these after just one more wear, as I was wearing the SBGs for a few days.
Fades are always slow going for me, let's see where we are in another 100 days or so.Post wash:

@CosmoSix5 yeah the 777's are ready in Kojima so expect the rest to start rolling in soon

@ssherman95 they usually do not have a date until the product is in hand in Gosport so likely you'll hear a more specific date in coming weeks, I always just keep my eye on the calendar and go off that, delays could be faced due to shipping Japan to UK
