IH-888S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

[Vole]

I picked up a pair of these the other day from someone who told me they were brand new and never washed

Is there a way to tell if these have been washed?

This is my first pair of iron hearts…. My other raw jeans seem more stiff?

[Giles]

Makes no difference, we have already one-washed them anyway…

[Vole]

Thanks for the reply… I was worried about the fades!

No need to be. The idea that a wash fixes the indigo is a bit of a myth.

That being said, from your photos, those jeans look super crispy and clean. In other words, brand spanking new.

Will these be back in stock anytime soon? I’m looking for a 38 waist.

I finally get to wear jeans at work so I decided to use my 142s that are a bit big on me and I’m loving them.

Here's my pair I have been wearing for about nine months.  Probably six or seven washes.  I'm putting them away for a bit to work on a new pair.

[mention]Soleamp [/mention] Your 142’s look great! Inspires me to wear mine more. Thanks for sharing!

[Soleamp]

@SKT Thanks, my pleasure.  I really enjoyed wearing them and they are beyond comfortable…unlike the brand new 666-XHS that I am wearing now, haha.

[SKT]

@Soleamp Im looking forward to my first pair of XHS but probably not til next year. Do you find that the 142’s and XHS are similar in that they hold creases well?  I’m convinced my 142’s will be my best faders down the road because they have stayed so crispy.

[Soleamp]

@SKT I'm by no means an expert on this and I'm just getting started on the XHS, but I do find them similar as they are both more tightly woven than the 21oz (those are my three IH denims).  Also, I like fades, but I'm not insane about no washing, or not doing anything to affect the creasing or other aspects of my fades, I just wear and wash when I feel like it.  So, after rambling on, I guess the fact that they have held the creases and faded nicely without much effort speaks for itself.  I'm really excited to see what the XHS do.
