Inseam hemed to 32. It turned out a little during the soaking, but i think i fixed it well ::)

the heming is well done. Thanks Giles
why this turned out, i assume it is related to the unique character of the denim, if u want to hem them, then u should not soak it too long and too hot (think i might soak them too hard). hope this helps. 

[Beatle]

Actually - looks like the first fold wasn't completely folded in…you fixed it pretty nice, though

[Big Eyed Fish]

Thanks Beatle

[Giles]

Beats was correct.  I screwed up.  Sorry…..

[jimmy]

you fixed it really well, looks great.

G to avoid that from ever happening, have the turn long enough so it's doubles back again
stopping before the the new stitching. that way you're still sewing though 3 layers and i find it gives a much pronounced roping too.

Hi Giles! I really don't think it's ur fault. I checked the chainstitching before i soaked them, it was alright, i didn't find anything wrong. Besides it's nothing to me, it's only part of the story of a pair of damn good jeans. Anyway i still think that the better way to hem a pair of jeans which r heavier than 17 oz is to hem them after soaking them if it's possible. As i know the turning out thing happens more often with heavier jeans. At least i heard about this more than 3 times from my friends.

I don't need another pair of IH's but these in the OD intrigue me…

Giles (or anyone else, for that matter) could you expand at all on what makes this denim unique / gives it "so much character?" You stated you asked Haraki to make this denim specifically for this jean; I'm sure you asked for more than just an 18 oz. slubby denim... as a connoisseur of fine things I'm interested to hear how it's different than IH's standard 21 oz. denim.

[Big Eyed Fish]

Jacoavlu! I can't desribe the character in words since english is not the language i grew up speaking and i'm also not a good writer, think i should leave these to Beatle or Giles. But what i can do is showing u the fabulous cotton thread and fiber 

[cowsareforeating]

I, like jacoalvu, do not need another pair of IH jeans (at least im trying to tell myself i dont) but I'd love to try IH slubby. Grr those macro pictures sure tease me. Hope the OD's will be around for a while!

pics look great everyone! i ordered a pair sized 31, i normally wear a 30 but i haven't worn jeans this slim before so hopefully they work out. thanks to giles and beats with the help on sizing i trust you guys! will try to post fit pics once i get them. school starts this week so getting these will make the week a lot better…

[LC_Miey]

For the 666SOD, i need a size 32 but im contemplating either size 31 or 32 for 666s..  i want slim fit but not tight..  appreciate everyones help

[Beatle]

I would get them in the same size and soak extra hot..

[Danny RnH]

Does soaking extra hot affect the indigo and fading process?
If .5" is shrunk in the hem will this stretch back to tagged size? I ask as the hem does not get stretched from wear like the waist and thighs.

[Beatle]

nope, no neg. effect on fading. and yes, the hem will not stretch back as much - unless you force it ..

[Danny RnH]

Thanks, Beatle. Think I'll cop a 32 w in that case and hot soak.

[elclintor]

I just pulled the trigger on these! I went TTS.  I'm stoked!

How fast is shipping from the UK to US? I'm just a little excited!

First pair of IH btw..

[thewickett]

[Giles]

Yep, you should get them Thurs or Fri.  It is a Bank Holiday in UK, so they will not get picked up until tomorrow, so we lose a day…..G

[elclintor]

That's awesome!
