IH-888-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/blk

@Sunnergren. Probably a mistake. After the soak you should of put them in the washing machine with no spin cycle and then dry so you can get all the shrinkage out. They may still have some shrinkage left
-
@Sunnergren After soaking I washed at 30°C 600 rpm before drying. I babied my denim in the beginning but figured that tough workwear that was built to last should probably survive a reasonably gentle wash in a machine
-
@Sunnergren funny you bring up measurements being off. I hemmed mine to 34.5” and after measuring over and over again I’m certain that it’s shorter. I was thinking maybe since the denim is so thick and brand new, I may not be accounting for something?
I’m not entirely certain. But pulling the leg all the way to the side and measuring the IH way is not giving me a 34.5” measurement.
Edit: not bashing anyone, just thought to bring it up since it was somewhat brought up already.

I’ve stopped hemming my jeans. After years of trial and error I find that my pairs often shorten up a bit the more wear they get. I cuff them in the beginning and eventually find myself letting out the cuff. Mileage will definitely vary. I’m pretty tall already, but I’ve found taking the guesswork out of it works best for me.

@worn2fade Thanks for the reply. It’s handmade and hand-measured by humans. It will differ thats just how it is I reckon. I think that it is important information, especially for the first time buyer.
-
@kojimastreets interesting! I didn’t hem my pair and wonder about the wear shrink. I’m 188 tall, are we in the same ballpark?

-
@Sunnergren 190cm here and did not hem. Would not have made sense to hem for me.
Not sure though everyone is different. I guess leg length can vary vs torso length? -
@Northman yeah leg/torso ratio plays huge role, so your true inseam measurement is what really matter.

Started rotating these in with my UHR. Loving the almost black color and beginnings of evo.

@Sunnergren 193 I think! (6'4" in freedom units)
Makes sense why you don’t hem
I’m 5’11 and my true inseam is about 29-30”
-
As I said before. This is my first experience with IH and heavy selvedge denim. Almost looks fake these pics standing by themselves
First wear today, holy smokes they are stiff.
How would you guys say they fit?
For reference I’m 188, 90kg and this is tag 35.Thanks!

@Sunnergren Looks good, they should soften up after some good use.
-
@Sunnergren Look pretty sweet to me!
Has me a little worried cuz I got a 35 as well and let's just say I don't have quite the same physique ...
-
@dwils thank you kindly!
I will say that I have extra room in the waist, and also around the top block. Pressure for me right now are my hip-bones.
I think the extra room is to my benefit with 25 oz. Will probably wear a belt further down the road.
Everyone is different in all measurements and it is my understanding that they slowly forms to the body. I hope they will fit you well! -
@Sunnergren look great
-
Hi! These jeans looks awesome! I know they’ve just been restocked and I missed out. I’m wondering how many times they’re being restocked. Yearly or once every 2 years ore more often. Does anybody know? Thanks!

Hi @Arvid, We try to get restocks in as quickly as we can. We recently restocked the 888-XHSib, so I assume these won't be restocked again soon. I would say a good few months until these are back. Please keep an eye on this thread for any further updates and register for the restock notifications.
