IH-555-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo/Black

[Twistlock]

Appreciate it mate @T4920

[Twistlock]

Probably one of the last days wearing these for a while as temps hitting 20C+ now.

[T4920]

@Twistlock looks blissful, looking forward to rocking a pair of these in the future..

What are you gonna switch to for the warmer months?

[Kasi]

Carry on if you brave

@Twistlock

[Twistlock]

Haha @Kasi, being rather sensitive to heat i will pass on wearing 25oz in temps around/above 25c.

[Twistlock]

@T4920, will go 21oz, slubs and the lighter non denim IH pants (803/814) when heat picks up, and ultimately shorts..

[Twistlock]

gave these another wash before putting them away for summer (i think)

[Nittpics]

Picked up a pair of these bad boys used but practically brand new. Only worn 4 times. I have heard two theories about starting this journey. #1 that you should wear these as long as possible for the certain fade potential and then there is the 2nd train of thought, give this pair a hot soak right off the bay to set the stitching. Which theory do you subscribe to?

[sabergirl]

Pretty sure all the 25oz is one washed, so you should be good to just wear. There will be a little bit of shrink when you finally wash, though, so it may be worth getting that out of the way.

The 25oz is sanforized but unwashed and its recommended to give them a hot soak before wearing them to get all the shrinkage out. Having said that, there are plenty guys that wear them without a soak.

In the end it’s all personal preference but i would go with a hot soak to prevent fade shifting.. there will be some shrinkage left in this denim wich you wanna take out at first. But that’s just my 2 cents

[Fades for future]

Just do a hot soak, otherwise they will shrink with the first wash when all your creases,fades etc have been set....

Received this pair today. They are way better than expected; the color is great.

I will give them the initial hot soak to get all the shrinkage out of the way and have them hemmed next week.

This is how they fit pre-soak (some how I lost my butt ).

@mlx i think those are gonna be a great fit after a hot soak

Arguably so, but man those vertical fade patterns on the lower legs are rather eye-catching too!
