IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

When did IH switch from sewn-in cloth placards/ hanger tags on the pocket to the paper ones we see today on the IH-666-XHS - 25ox? Recently acquired this pair that still has ones sewn in and trying to date them. Thanks for any input.

Considering a used pair of 25oz 666’s.
They have been washed several times and while it’s not what i would ever do, I’m curious what the groups collective experience has been with this denim when washed a bit.

Does it not fade anymore AT ALL??
Essentially, what would i be in for?
Denim looks not broken in. Would it always be that way because it doesn’t that crunchy break in period?

Thanks for all help?

They will continue to fade. They might not continue to stretch depending on the relative size of you vs previous owner but they will continue to break to the way you wear them

6 or so months on these now, and loving them so far. My first go with 25oz. Wore the UHR’s for a year last go, and doing the same with these. They’ve become pretty comfy! Also loving my IH-526J-142ib. It’s become the jacket I grab the most through spring & summer. But doesn’t get a ton of wear in the American South. Just when it’s too damn cold in the office!

Early 2024 (January-ish) pair, lots of washes

@MQR Checked your progression from instagram. I think this is good example for @worn2fade . Feels like almost nothing happening for first 6 months, then all the sudden indigo just starts falling off.

Now they are looking so good, amazing work.
