IH-777S-SLB - 16oz Slubby Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

love slubby fabrics but sometimes there can be a fine line between a nice slubby denim with tons of depth, texture and character and one thats too intense visually and headache inducing.
I think you’ll find these to be non-headache inducing. And you’re absolutely right about wearability.

Thanks Neph. I was thinking/hoping the same.

Like @neph93 said this one doesn’t have that total crazy slubbness.. it’s really nice! The feeling of the fabric is really nice, soft but full of texture and the loose weave makes it a true piece of art. Normally i don’t like a slubby fabric but this one was a no brainer!

Can anyone comment on the leg twist on this fabric? Do they come with leg twist right out of the bag or does that only happen after washing? I've owned LHT denim before so I can deal with some leg twist but I was curious how crazy the leg twist is on these slubbys. Looking at the pics of Giles pair it doesn't seem to be too bad.

@manufc10 mine came with a twisted leg out of the bag, but nothing to be not cool, leg twist is a very underrated thing in mine opinion and just the way the denim behaves. Embrace it i would say

Unless all the character is sucked out of a denim by skewing it massively post weave, it will be prone to some skew (if it is left or right hand twill, that is). Different batches of the same denim will skew differently, so will jeans sewn on different sewing machines. Don’t fight it, celebrate it (or stick with broken twill or plain weave)…..
-
I thank you all for the input. I'm definitely copping a pair now just a matter of when.
@Giles is there a restock scheduled in the pipeline yet?
-
We will restock all slubby jeans, and add OD ones, but there is nothing in production atm, so will be months
Oh hell yeah. Thanks Alex.

These are so wicked! Like them so much. Although the back seam is so heavy on this, I get a red, sore line on my skin after a days fading hahah.. but it’s worth it. Have a great Friday!

@manufc10 haha! True! My left leg is twisted - but I like the touch of difference
“set your jeans free” haha -
My first post here. I am new to Selvedge Denim.
Recently ordered a pair of NF online that arrived and were too small. Rather than just send back and forth decided to take a 2-1/2 hr drive to Chicago, MildBlend, and try on a few different styles, sizes and brands to figure out what fits me the best. No real options for buying selvedge Denim products except online and the returns are a hassle.
I was looking to get fitted in NF and IH. I did find my style and size in both manufacturers.
I walked out of the store with a 2 pairs of NF denims, 20 oz. and 16 oz., and a mission to find a pair of the IH slubby's in my style and size. The IH 777S style fits me the best.
Today I found a pair on line and pulled the trigger, IH 777S-Slub 36.The NF and IH seem to fit well but I am most stoked about the IH and the forum here. The prospect of having a forum to share experiences, wear jeans that fit well and will form to my shape is very appealing to me.
Thanks to all here that are sharing their passion.
Now to figure out what to do about break in and washing.....

@Luscombe welcome my man! Let your IH journey begin

@Luscombe welcome! From what I hear you shouldn't have too much of an issue breaking in the slubbies, but as for washing... prepare to encounter myriad tips and tricks as you venture down our beloved indigo rabbit hole...
General consensus here seems to be:
Soak first
Turn inside out
Wash at 30/40c with low spin (no spin on first wash)
Hang to dryBut don't overthink it, enjoy the process and do whatever feels right for you!

Thanks for the tip @T4920.
I am wearing the 20 oz now and will soak and wash them this evening. They have a 2% stretch material in the denim and fit pretty snug in all the right places. I am ok with the shrinking a bit if the waist will stay or stretch back to the current size.Was just notified that my IH's have shipped.
BTW, I am no youngster so this is a bit of an adventure for me to explore selvedge denim. I really appreciate high quality products that improve with age.
Kinda like me.......at least that is what my wife says.
