IH-666-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo/Black

@catdad1

My 25 oz XHS are pretty faded at this point, so figured it’d be nice to have another heavy pair at least for a bit that looks crisp. Also, I’ve been purging quite a bit of stuff over the last few months so figure I can justify it.

It makes me so happy that tip helped. I'm always window shopping so glad to do it.
I'm still deciding if I'm going to hem mine or sell them. 777 is so much better for me personally. I know that's going to restock and I'm going to want to cave. I'm trying to tell myself that I'll like the 666 hem/opening better when they're not Tokyo cuffed as they are currently. Real bottom thing going on atm lol

@northsouthdenimguy That's what differs with Iron Heart for me, the community here and getting everyones opinion, sure you could argue posts on Instagram/social media do the same, but it's more personal here... Always looking out for each other!

My pair arrived from BlackBlue today. I don’t know how I overlooked the 666 cut before. I have the 555 in these jeans but the 666 is just a bit more comfortable/ roomy in this fabric and I won’t have to wrestle them to get over my boots.

@deanclean Didn't know BlackBlue was getting any of the XHSib. They're getting absolutely loads of product these days! Good stuff.

I’ve always been on the fence about this indigo black, but damn, they are so nice in person, and the stitching is not nearly as neon yellow as it looks in photos.

Sent mine to get hemmed at Franklin and Poe today!

@CosmoSix5 Were these the same pair that got the clay treatment?

[anodyne]

My favorite pair of IH ... followed closely by my 634XHSib. I almost bought a backup pair

[CosmoSix5]

@Go-For-Chill no. Those are 777 xhs

Warm soaked them yesterday and currently drying with a fan on them. you guys are making me excited to wear them this evening… I will say it’s crazy how stiff they got after the warm soak. I could easily button them unsoaked not sure that’s gonna happen now.

@northsouthdenimguy
When I handed mine to my wife after the dried and were super stiff, she just said “whyyyy”. lol

I’ve got a dislocated thumb and they made it worse trying to button.

my wife calls all my XHS denim, “cardboard”

[northsouthdenimguy]

To say my wife is not impressed by my clothing choices would be the understatement of the year, and she refers to all my denim jeans as “cardboard pants.”

And 526L is the "ghost jacket"

[anodyne]

I barely have fingernails and I managed to bend one back trying to button the bottom-most two ... not to mention my carpal tunnel being old/IT career. Worth it though lmao. *If I live long enough to need/order another pair, I'll make sure to have the young guns at IH make sure the last two are buttoned on arrival.

@Workwear How did the heavyweights work out
