IH-634S-18 - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

I typically soak all my indigo denim before the first wear regardless of what it is. ‍️

I also do an inside-out soak of every pair of jeans before wearing, regardless of whether it’s needed for shrinkage purposes.

It opens up the material and gets rid of the brand-new “flat-packed” look.

@goosehd
Can i use anyone to hem those jeans or should i use IH for it, because they are selvedge jeans?
What do most people do?

Thanks for your advice

@Luke_is_back you could use just about anyone, but I have always used IHUK or IHG to hem my pants.

@Luke_is_back I would ask someone that can chain stich so you can get roping on them
