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

@j6550 , my experience as well, after wash and some wear you will end up close to waist measurement as per sizing chart.

Thanks for your insight everyone. I pulled the trigger on them.

Need help with a sizing scenario. If I needed my waist to end up after soaking, washing and wearing at 35”, which starting waist would be the best bet…34.75” or 35.5”?

[aetherist]

@SKT I used to have the same thinking of yours, and I decided to go with size 35. And so happy with that. It was so loose before soak and wearing. But it’s good now after a week of use and 2 hot soak. Even I think it wasn’t much shrinkage on the waist for 2 x 45 mins? Just around 0.5” at the max. And it surely will go back and stretch more after lots of wear.

So, if you need the final measurements to be at 35”, it depends on you. Does the size 34 fit you on any other area? If yes, the next question, can you bear the consequences of wearing 25oz a bit fit? If you checklist them all, then go ahead.

Finally joined the XHS club. I went round and round trying to find a cut and fit that would work and ultimately found this pair of 666 that hit the sweet spot. Looking forward to years of fades with these and excited for cooler weather so I can begin breaking them in.

[SKT]

I’ll add this (which all you guys that have a pair of XHS already know) after spending some time with this denim it’s a small miracle IH is able to make a garment out of something this robust…amazing really. “Break The Needle” is right

@SKT I have the 555's in XHS 25oz and they're incredible, even comparing them to my 21oz denim it just feels so... robust like you said... Are you going to be wearing these for the Indigo Invitational?

[SKT]

I haven’t the stamina to properly do the Invitational but I love watching you guys put your jeans through the wringer. I’ll probably rotate these with my 822’s and UHR’s through the colder months.

[Jord]

Yeah I feel you, I like to rotate my jeans quite often too... I wore my 555 XHS a few times this summer and at times wished I was wearing shorts, lol.

@ShopatIronHeart may have more information on restocks.

[Shanman11]

@goosehd Yes Sir, I definitely didi that again today
We'll see how long I have to wait
It also seems any of the Indigo/black restocks are interminable at this point, which is odd as they are kings and it is Fall now, prime Heavy Denim wearing season !
Maybe it'll happen for Xmas
Thank so much I really apperciate it !!

[Matt]

They usually only restock once a year or so. The last restock before last April was March 2024.

[goosehd]

…assuming that there aren’t 40 other things that are on the list to be rerun. The availability of the looms is still severely strained.

@Shanman11 have you checked other retailers? Depending on where you live that also may be an option
