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

[FlavourFade]

@Mizmazzle looking good already. I am just over 40 days with mine but they are pretty dirty from all the recent snow and then after that mud and rain we had so probably going to wash them earlier than usual too!

Quick question guys, what is the best way to start wearing these 25oz jeans? Is presoaking the best way to start? Or do i just start by wearing them right out of the bag?

[Mizmazzle]

@hugothecowboy I think a lot of people agree the presoak/ wash is important to get all the shrink out before the initial wear. That way if you hem them you know the length will be stable. Also, the combs behind the knees could shift as well if you wear them for a while without having washed at first.

@Mizmazzle

Good point, now does this apply to all jeans or only 25oz ?

[yannis]

@hugothecowboy. It applies for the most part only to the models that are not pre washed at the factory. In the current lineup I think all 25oz and UHR need a soak before wearing. The 21oz, 19oz, 16oz and 14oz are all pretty washed. The 19L is unsanforized but washed.

2 months to the day. Though not worn quite every day. Plenty of walks. A little jogging. A little biking. No water yet. A fun pair of trousers, for sure.

Just came here to say how much i love the 634 cut and the XHSib. About 10 wear days and it has softened up considerably.

[Mizmazzle]

@Twistlock I'm a 634 convert now! First time I’ve liked having a cuff is with this cut. Lends itself well to it.

[worn2fade]

@Mizmazzle I agree with the ease of cuffing from a 634. My first two pairs were 634 and I enjoyed cuffing both.. 888 on the other hand… I don’t dig cuffs as much. I rock a double sometimes, but absolutely hate a Tokyo cuff on them. They never align perfectly LOL

[Mizmazzle]

@nurunuru looking great dude! I find I’m loving mine more and more as they take on more evo. Guess that’s true with all denims. Haha. But for me especially so with the IB.

[Mizmazzle]

@worn2fade totally man. I don’t cuff my 888s. I wear those when I want a cleaner hemmed look and my 634s when I want more of a cuff/ wider leg style.

[Subprime]

60 ish+ days of wear, initial soak, one wash. So happy I gave the 634 a shot, this cut is so good.

I'm curious as to whether anyone can report on washing these in a top-loading machine on a gentle cycle including spin. I've never had to "baby" a pair of jeans before. Never had any issues washing 21oz on a regular wash with a regular high-speed spin. I don't want to get nasty streaks, but I'm also a little puzzled as to why the extra 4 ounces means these suddenly have to be handled with kid gloves.

Hoping a gentle cycle with its associated spin would be OK. Any real-world testimonials, though?!

@nurunuru Inside out (and with some other clothes) ftw?
