IH-777S-18 - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Quick update on the 18oz. 14 months now? Been keeping these going as the main work pair even after y4 of indigo invitational ended. They have truly been the perfect weight & balance of comfort, breathability.
-
@RoxRocks86 your jeans look superb. Photos are nicely taken. Fit is indeed sick.
-
Thanks dude!
-
Scrub-a-dub-dub freshly washed and dried

Just to add….didn’t think these 18oz vintage are considered “heavy” at all. Got frisked for the first time going thru TSA with these on. The agent was having too much fun at 5 a.m. going over places thrice saying my jeans were too stiff and heavy. My awkward half awake answer was “oh, it must be bc I air dried them instead of putting them in the dryer
” lmfao what do you even say to that …. -
@RoxRocks86 wow those look great. You can tell that you’ve put actual “work” into them. Are you going to retire them or keep pushing?
-
@RoxRocks86 they have worn in awesome! My next pair when they re-stock in a 555 cut
-
@SKT thank you
They will need to be sent in for repairs sometime in the near future, but still lots of life in them so keeping them going as long as possible. 18oz vintage might be my ultimate favorite denim by IH. -
@DeeDee85 yessss hope a restock is soon for you to enjoy a pair!
-
@RoxRocks86 I’m with you about the 18 oz. Vintage denim. Breathable and easy wearing year round for my climate here in the Midwest. I’ve “outgrown” my first pair so looking forward to a restock and getting started with a new cut and size

Ended up giving these a bleach soak over the weekend after crawling around some nasty spaces at work. Poured about half a cup of bleach into a 5 gallon bucket for 10min., threw it in the washing machine and dryer, then laid it out in the sun for about a day.
-
@RoxRocks86 oh dude heeeeck yeah! These jeans turned out perfect...really sets them over the edge with that bleach solution you soaked them in. It's cool you waited until they were already super duper faded to do this. I love how they turned out.
-
@RoxRocks86 Looks great!
(At some point I'll need to try out some bleaching myself)
-
Thanks @Oaktavia @JunkPants Wasn’t too concerned by how light they got with the bleach soak, but wanted to record it and be transparent as it wasn’t by natural wear and wash. They are truly a work pair, so just trying to feel clean in them at this point. I’m hella ocd at home so work is always a big challenge when walking into a unit and shit looks like a haunted house
if Fear Factor ever had an episode on filming the housing we get contracted, it would be a horror/comedy. Probably the biggest reason why I like everything super clean and sterile at home.
