IH-634-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo/Black

[Damocles]

Hi everyone — curious how most of you approach these.
Do you prefer wearing them for a bit first to let the creases set before the first wash, or do you start with an initial wash and then wear?

[Oaktavia]

@Damocles soak and wash then wear to remove shrink and ensure creases stay put thereafter.

[Mizmazzle]

^ this is exactly my plan

[Damocles]

Wash in 30 or 40 degrees?

[ZackB]

@Mizmazzle when are yours supposed to be there?

[Mizmazzle]

@Damocles I plan to soak and wash cold. That’s how I always wash so kind of how I start it out too. But you could go for a warm wash out the gate too. Dealers choice.

[Mizmazzle]

@ZackB waiting on a repair to finish up on some 888 XHS then both will be headed home. Not sure exactly when yet tho…

[Oaktavia]

@Damocles I do as hot as my water gets 40+ maybe. This is to ensure all the shrink is removed from the get go.

Anyone know of any vendors worldwide that got some of these beautiful jeans this run? Going through the stockists… I see ISP got them but mostly sold out

[Go For Chill]

@Damocles Wash first so your fades don't shift after shrinkage. Let them dry a while, but put them on while they are still damp and let them finish drying while you wear them. That will set the creases in place.

Obviously, wet denim releases way more indigo than dry, so doing this will also jump start the fades. This is also why you get marbling and odd fade lines in denim when machine washing without turning them inside out. Any abrasion while they are wet will result in fades. Wearing them damp just puts those fades in the places most of us enjoy.

[Damocles]

Thank you very much for your help guys, really appreciate it:)

Wasn't strong enough to not try the last one in my size when was buying something else from IH Germany....

Already in the tub for a cold soak and then wash

[meatmarketdenim1]

Package came ealry this am before work, def a sick way to start the day/week. So hyped on these, and fit perfectly. They will be on ice for awhile but still can admire them in my closet till it’s time to bust them out. IH all day everyday

[Oaktavia]

@meatmarketdenim1 so glad they worked out man and they look fantastic. I had my pair of 888s on ice for the better part of a year before I wore them. Gotta grab em when they drop or risk missing them till the next go around.

[meatmarketdenim1]

@Oaktavia
Thanks homie! And yeah had to grab them, been seeing the evo on yours, and was high on my list after all your dope pics . I prob won’t wear till IIY6. But I’m happy good on jeans for while. Def going back to my UHRs after the comp ends next year. Will I buy another pair before then? More than likely lol

More than likely lol

This is the way.

[natefreezy]

How often do these come around? And there isn't an OD for the XHS, right?

[yannis]

@natefreezy. There was an od version a few years back but I dont think there were part of the core line up. Not even sure if there were made in all cuts but I do have a 634HXS od

[Tago Mago]

@natefreezy the last restock was this month, the one before was in December of 2023. Given the constraints on production I would assume that the next restock will take a while. If you are looking for a pair I suggest googling them to check availability at retailers.

As @yannis mentioned IH released OD 634-XHS a few years back, but demand wasn't high enough to warrant a rerun according to this post. Any information to the contrary @ShopatIronHeart?

[AdamJ]

@Tago-Mago you are correct. The XHSod was run a few years back but did not go in to regular core production
