IH-634-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo/Black

I’m surprised these have such white fades. One has to ask where is the black weft?
Website says “… and a reactive dyed black weft (that won't fade).”They look amazing either way! Just thought it would be darker or the black would be more

The colour of the weft has very little to do with the colour of the fades. Partly because very little of the weft is seen on the face of the fabric in a twill (denim) weave) and partly because the warp is rope dyed indigo so has a white core. It is the abrasion of the indigo on the warp that exposes the white core that gives denim its characteristic fades.
Here are my 19oz indigo black:
And here is the black weft:

:)Thanks for the denim lesson. Pants are looking so good!! That’s the most faded version of the IB I’ve seen. Very unique fading throughout.

Can’t wait to start breaking in my first XHS and indigo black! Biked to Self Edge today to get them hemmed.
The staff there is always great. Cheers!

Now that is an excellent photo @Mental_SkëweR Fit pic next!

@Mental_SkëweR you won't believe how soft they will get. It's pretty incredible actually. I am wearing mine today. The hand on this particular denim is arguably the softest of anything I have ever seen or felt. You are sure to be delighted.
I was trying to decide what pair I was going to spend the spring busy season in, either these or the Pronto double indigo XHS pair… and I think I am back to these again. Either pair I'll need a belt with now. I usually hate belts. These are just too comfortable now.
Work just called today and told me I am having to travel Saturday. So I came to the realization that I would have to make up my mind what pair I would wear until late June. I might see if I can take the Prontos as my back up, but I have a pair of indigo duck work pants as my back up...

Day 1 - so stoked to finally have these on! When I sit, I Can’t cross my legs yet

Looks good dude

Start sleeping in them as much as possible
@Mental_SkëweR -
@Mental_SkëweR nice look
is that an IHJ-71? -
@Mental_SkëweR - great fit.
the leg opening of the 634 seems to work well with your engineer boots. ive always liked brown r/o - what brand & model are they?

@Oaktavia thx! It’s a modern Levi’s 1953 type 2. I love it bc of the history behind it (Elvis & many more) but IH and some other brands have even better versions IMO. Hope to get an IH one maybe next season. The type 2 overdue collab with self edge is very attractive!
@hoppy_IPA thank ya! These are the whites Cykel boot in brown rough out. They are partially machine built making them SLIGHTLY more affordable than the more popular Nomad by Whites, which is all handmade. A good alternative to Wesco! However I recently saw they have a 10-12 week wait.

Hah after I asked if yours was IH, I saw the red tab by your pocket. The history behind the type II is pretty neat, I agree. I've been wearing an indigo/indigo 18oz IH type II lately and love it. Sadly, it is extinct at least in our current timeline. I felt lucky to have found and bought it from a forum member, hardly worn. The one of Self Edge is pretty rad too for sure.
