IH-666-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo/Black
-
I'm taking a leap on this one. This will be my first pair of jeans that I purchased and had hemmed before trying on, my first pair of 666, and my first pair of XHSib. Here's to hoping you don't see me in the classifieds in a month! lol

@Go-For-Chill I took the same exact risk last month with the 634. I was anxious for the two days prior to delivery but it worked out great. I think if you know your desired measurements you should be good.
-
Just got my first pair of 25oz with this cut today and shit yeah these are something else lol. Had to use a wood dowel on the button holes to stretch 'em out for ease of buttoning. Plan was to wear them for a few wears in my workshop for the next few days, get 'em a bit dirtied up then do a soak to release some of that starch.
No joke on these lol. -
Resistance is futile
I tried to resist all day and hold out for 888 xhsib. Just pulled the trigger

This is me wishing I could start the Indigo Invitational over again with these. I really want to grab them up before they sell out but it would kill me not to daily drive them for another 7 months. Never had indigo/black though, how does it fade timewise compared to standard Indigo? I have a 634S 21oz as my bridge pair and that's my only experience with IH pants (95% of my IH gear are tops)
Well worn denim & leather is a journal of life.

@CosmoSix5 34/30, but I stuck with the 34 (actual 35) on these for a roomy fit. If they don't work for me, you could always use them as shorts!

When the electric indigo fades start to come in they look so fing sick it’s like no other fades you will ever have!! I get stopped all the time asking about them.

UK to NJ in a day
️Unhemmed w a Double Cuff. I’ll probably go single cuff after a hot soak.

@Denimhead-0 Looking good. Now lots of bike riding & walking on the trails.

Hello Iron Heart family question when doing the initial 1st soak before wearing them should I use hot
or warm water?? -
either is fine IMO...try them on, if they are really snug maybe just soak cold first and see how the fit changes, then soak warm or hot. The hotter the water the more potential shrink you will get.

@Salted-Racer Thanks
-
@Denimhead-0 dude! Looking forward to mine too, I chose them to be hemmed. Probably adds a few days
-
@Denimhead-0 Guess you liked the 14ib a lot so you went for the 25ib as well. Can't blame you amazing fit on both.

Just put em in for a first soak after two heavy duty workshop day wears. First time ever soaking denim even, lol.
