IH-777-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo/Black

@Art-Vandelay go by the measurements when they are released as they may be different to the last run. Unless they are I wouldn’t size down. Also, you must sow 25oz before wear to remove shrinkage and set the seams.

@Art-Vandelay you will stretch a little past the posted pre-wash measurement, but not much (and only in the waist).

I don’t know from your description where your current jeans are giving you issues. If it is your waist you should be fine going with the posted measurements closest to your desired fit.

When soaked/washed you will lose about an inch in the waist and proportionally in the other areas. The waist will stretch back out to the pre-wash measurement and the other areas should remain slightly tighter than those posted measurements.

The IHUK shop are really great at giving guidance regarding fit and you may want to email them with your specific concerns: shop@ironheart.co.uk

@goosehd the waist is pretty spot on and has actually stayed pretty close to the measurements from when i bought them for all of my IH's. so the 33's that i bought, in the waist at least, have changed very little. I would say it's more so the thigh into/closer to the knee that has stretched, giving a more slim straight appearance.

1. With 25oz you MUST soak them first. After that, go nuts not washing them.

2. The hot soak will shrink everything by 1 inch. Maybe the waist will stretch back 1 inch, but the rest of the measurements won’t.

E.g. if measurements say:

Waist: 33
Leg: 11
Knee: 8.5
etc.

The measurements after soaking will be:

32
10.5
8
etc.

Use this information to find the size that will be close to your ideal measurements after soaking.
