IH-777S-18 - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

[SKT]

@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?

[DeeDee85]

@RoxRocks86 they have worn in awesome! My next pair when they re-stock in a 555 cut

[RoxRocks86]

@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.

[RoxRocks86]

@DeeDee85 yessss hope a restock is soon for you to enjoy a pair!

[SKT]

@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)

[RoxRocks86]

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.

@WhiskeySandwich awesome. That 18oz. Vintage fades so nice and your honeycombs are always next level. What’s the wear/wash on these?

[WhiskeySandwich]

@SKT thanks man. Still only 119 wears and 3 washes. The 777 doesn’t get much wear anymore since they’re a bit restrictive

[RoxRocks86]

Update on the 18 ouncers - freshly machine washed and dried weekly, they’re still going strong minus the crotch & knee areas wearing thin. Not looking forward to sending them in for repairs when the time comes.

[SKT]

@RoxRocks86 love these Rox! Well done. I’m without any 18 ouncers and can’t wait to get another pair.

@RoxRocks86 Wow they look fantastic.

@RoxRocks86 These actually look incredible, great honeycombs with a vintage fade too. I've only been into IH for about a year, but these are the types of fades I want to achieve! Keep it up.

[RoxRocks86]

Thank you @Jord I will say that although this pair was fading quite nicely from consistent wear and wash from using it for over a yr, after a 1 time quick bleach soak to sanitize them it did brighten and lighten the pair up noticeably. Tbh consequent machine washes since that initial bleach soak have expedited indigo loss since then. They are still my go-to work pair so excited to see how the journey in them continues. Will update as needed.

Edit to add - enjoy your journey into the world of what IH offers - denim and beyond
