IH-555N - 17oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Natural Indigo
-
About 1 year but probably 8 months of real wear and 4 handwashes
They look amazing! When did you give them their first soak/handwash? I am breaking in my first pair of IH (the 555n). I have had them for about 18 months but only worn them evenings and weekends so in reality probably equates to 6 - 7 months of continual wear. Starting to get some bleed in the expected places and would like to give them a soak but am worried once I do this that the fades will stop developing. Also, could do with getting them hemmed but want to wait until after 1st soak in case of any shrinkage in the leg length. Any advice to a newbie would be much appreciated.

Cheers. Gave them a soak in the bath tonight with some Woolite. Surprised how little indigo loss there was in the water, so hopefully all good for more fade evo [emoji3]. Looks like they have shrunk a fair bit in the waist and thigh so gonna have a painful few weeks stretching them back out

I love this material, the evo is fantastic and it's a really good weight. I'll wear mine today and try and get some pics.

For those of you who have had these for a bit, how much did these wind up stretching in the waist?
There have been mixed reports regarding the stretching with this denim. My pair stretched as you’d expect (about an inch in the waist) but I’ve heard others saying not so much as @Jett129 says. I’m sure they’ll stretch if they need to.
