IH-777S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo

[Ikeaparty]

I spent the last two weeks in Croatia at planning sessions in our HQ, one night I made a tragic oversight and agreed to go to raggaeton night with the LATAM crew at some basement club in Zagreb, not thinking about how smoking indoors is still allowed there. Woke up in the morning and all I could smell was cigarette smoke in my room, smelled my 400+ wear 5 year old 777s and they STUNK.

Got home on the weekend and threw them in the washing machine, took them out, still smelled bad, washed again, still smelled but less, just finished drying them and while they do still smell, I think that it should turn out okay after some extended ventilation hanging out in the open.

Anyway long story short I realized that they are looking absolutely stellar after the two washes so figured I would share some pics, I absolutely love these pants, my gateway drug to the greater world of Iron Heart.

A dumb question, I know, but I need help.
I hand-washed my pair with a quite vigorous agitation in a warm water (around 45°-50°C) like 1/2 ago. The fabric became even more denser, which I honestly like because it creates an interesting (1970's alike vintage) fading pattern.
But also the length lost about an inch getting almost to my ankle.
I tried to stretch them back: both when wet and when dry, didn't work much at first.
UPDATE: after multiple experiments the workaround is after the wash to stretch separately:

• the area from thigh to knee;
• the are from knee to hem
  with twisting to the left and to the right.
  The length got back to the initial 33''

@Lowlander they look outstanding

@Lowlander wow those combs are reverberating and vibrating in and out like circular sound waves. Amazing work!

[Lowlander]

@Oaktavia thanks man! I hadn't thought of it that way yet, but I guess you're right!

[Oaktavia]

@Lowlander like water ripples

[nurlank]

Seems like half a way

Can anyone by any chance advise on fixing inner pockets?
Is there any protocol that folks are using to get inner pockets fixed?
Attached are pics of the same pocket from the right and inside out.
Any advise is appreciated

@nurlank I'm sure IHUK could sort that out for you with their repair service, I'd try emailing them but should be do-able.

Edited by goosehd for reason below.

@Jord @nurlank They can not. Pocket bags are a can’t fix.

@JoshC said in Random questions to which you seek an answer:

@Mizmazzle the guys are correct, we dont offer pocket bag replacements, just because we dont have the correct machinery or the actual pocket bags and It would take up considerable time as well for a free service, If I am able to help prolong the life and I am able to patch it up a little then I will do but its not a perfect fix, more of a "help you not to loose your change or keys" haha. but if you do ever have any questions regarding repairs please dont ever hesitate to reach out, Im always around to help.

Thanks for clarifying Goose, I'm sure it could be done somewhere, or even a DIY job that could prolong the longevity of your jeans... I think I'd probably try do it myself if I had some fabric
