IH-888-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/blk

@Oaktavia well chicken legs I guess = superb whiskers
-
Has anyone put these through an 800rpm spin cycle and if so, did they shrink or get streaks?
-
@goldstone0 you’re increasing your chance of streaks by putting it in a spin cycle. Personally, I wouldn’t try it unless it’s an old pair that have been washed quite a few times.
-
@Oaktavia I have a similar situation. Occasionally results in an extra fade line or two on the rear thighs.
-
Holy crap, snagged the last pair from the branch in Germany. My first 888 and XHS. I have some experience with stiff 25oz from another brand. Slightly intimidated with the different cut and bulk these guys will have but I know the hype is real for a reason. I've been planning on grabbing the new 555s but they've been pushed back a couple of times. I'm a sucker for tonal arcs so I pulled the trigger when I saw they still had a pair. Overall very excited to get to work on them.

I was wondering who bought that last size 40. Good snag!
-
@xcesiv Haha, yes, was me! I normally wear 38 but prefer some extra room in the heavyweights.
-
@crollee I did the exact same thing and I am very happy. At the start I doubted the choice but it turned out to be the right one.
-
Sigh...I was hoping it'd work out, but the rise is just too high after sizing up. The size chart only had a .5" difference to my other pairs but they're touching my belly button.
Come on 555 release!
