IH-888-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/blk
-
Still slightly damp, definitely roomier in the top block compared to 777, didn't even try to button bottom three buttons, the higher rise feels very nice, will probably opt to hem vs cuffing but still on the fence, think once they're fully dry and settle in a bit they're gonna be prime

@1WayTrip mine too dude. For some reason mine were shipped using UPS which is a first for me. I’m used to the super quick DHL they use but it’s all good.
-
@worn2fade I have DPD here but located in the UK. Hopefully arrive tomorrow so can give a soak and start wearing!

@Yoprst great photos! Looking forward to when mine arrive, still nervous if I was right about the sizing
Don't worry, amigo. If you weren't three sizes up or down your regular, you should be fine

What's that golden dust on the belt loop?

Sickkk! Mine come in tomorrow.

After a hot soak, pretty happy with the fit. Top block is a tiny bit more roomy than my regular xhs were in the same size. But they have possibly a bit more taper. Soaked them last night and they're ever so slightly damp but I couldn't wait any longer. Buttons were not so hard to close either.

@Johnnyutah247 look great man! It’s good to wear them a little damp anyway so no harm no foul!
-
@worn2fade it sets those creases !

For the initial hot soak with this denim - inside out or no? And if yes, at what stage would you turn them right way round? I’ve seen on the forum people previously getting unwanted streaks / marks after the soak, so trying to avoid that.
-
I soak them regularly and turn them inside out when I put them in the washer. Never got any weird streaks.

Unlike washing, there is no real need to turn your clothes inside out during soaking/presoaking. Streaks create when your denim is still wet while rubbing against your washer drum, or against itself. I personally do not dive deep into the denim rocket science which is mostly digged out of denimheads noses. It's just a product made of cotton like many other things made of the same fabric, just being died indigo. There is no point in complication water related processes. Check IH care instruction and you'll be surprised how basic it is. No magic tricks at all

I agree with @yannis
I usually soak on body honestly but essentially that’s the same thing as not turning them inside out. I have had 0 issues doing it this way.
Turning them inside out is strictly a wash thing for me.
