IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Agitation causes shrinkage. I would personally hand wash and give them a lot of agitation....

Hello to all fellow IH forum brothers/sisters. I am wearing my 25oz 634s for the past 2 months for indigo invitational and I have been pretty much wearing them for doing anything like walking and cycling, to work and for daily use.
I only notice just now that the crotch area seam threads (the image I attached) seems to be a bit loose, and the fabric around it is fraying a little too. Is this early sign of crotch blowout?
Should I send it to my denim repair guy to repair/ reinforce the area? Or is it like a normal thing to happen for these heavy ounces pair?
I’m sorry if this is a newbie question. It’s my first really heavy (and raw) pair of jeans that I own.
Any advices would be really appreciated. Thanks guys.
Edit: I did an initial 1 hour soak in cold water while wearing them in a tub before I officially start wearing them.

@Jellyfish_3699 I am tagging @JoshC (IHUK Staff Repair Wizard) for his thoughts on this.

@goosehd Thank you very much.

@Jellyfish_3699 I think you will be alright for now, its a high abrasive area especially if your cycling in them, its the bane of denim as it cause more friction and strain on them, but you still have some good wear there, if it does get a lot worse give me an email via shop@ironheart.co.uk and we can talk more about repairs but for now I think your okay to keep wearing them and thrashing them.

@JoshC Thanks man. It’s assuring to know that. I will continue to abuse them for now then. I will be sure to be in contact in the email if there’s any more serious wear or tear. Thanks again Josh

Any update on when these will start being made again?

Got my pair back from hemming and straight into breaking it in. Have to get used to the wider fit after years of wearing 555 or similar cuts but I really like how they drape and they feel very comfortable.
