IH-888-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/blk
-
Since my UHR are out for some repairs decided to bring only these on a 2 week trip to Vegas in the dead of summer. It was 118F yesterday. Probably not the smartest move but it sure accelerates the breaking in process.

@Phil_NYC I have worn my 634s XHSib a lot this summer and it's doable with AC and maybe not doing too much physical work but I finally bought at least one lighter pair of denim after the last heatwave

@FlavourFade The only thing I noticed is they kind of get tighter on my thighs like one of those chinese finger traps if I am out in the Vegas heat too long.
@moskiitto The UHR were brutal to break in but eventually molded to my body so well. They are just perfect jeans. I've worn the xhsib maybe 30 times so far. The breaking in experience for me is much different than the UHR. These feel more unwieldy, just heavier and still not molding to my body yet. I am certain they will, but for now they feel boxier and more shapeless than the UHR. Could also feel that way because I am stacking these instead of cuffing like I did with the UHR.
All that said, I have a feeling it will be like choosing a favorite child once I tame these beasts.

some of u guys just built different to handle the heat
Seriously! As soon as the temperature hits around 70°F (21°C), all of my > 21 oz. pairs enter hibernation.

Haven't been wearing these too much in the summer but they getting time also. Really enjoying the xhsib when wearing them.
Was quite surprised on one leg the half cuff has busted from the inside, even though I empty them out after each wear. My theory is because it is only half cuffed, there is maybe a bit of room for small stones to move around.
-
Probably 40 days of wear on this pair.

Cooking something up today…

@Phil_NYC I have had also a cuff blow out quite early on despite being cautious. Not sure if it's normal that early on with heavy denim or if it's this batch specifically.

Has anyone try to soap IH jeans with Samurai KAMINARI - Thunder Soap?
Yes, no negative effects if that’s your question
