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

@Davids_denim Thanks dude! Yeah, Telly Coverall Jacket...which I have to say, has far exceeded my expectations. I love it!
The XHSib has been a bit slower to break in than other XHS denims I find....but then, I'm not fully devoted to them and only them like I have been with other XHS denims I've had. I found it took the waist a while to stretch to where I like it compared to other XHS, which i thought stretched rather quickly.
I'm gonna throw em in for a wash this week....
In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

@Mizmazzle they are definitely slow faders but do eventually soften up! Wearing the pair I scored in Osaka back in 2023 now

@kojimastreets nice broski! Like the stage of evo yours are in....I may get hyper motivated and just go all in on mine....but damn if I don't love my 829s !!!

@Mizmazzle I think rotating two pairs is the best way to not get bored too early. Everytime I commit to a pair, I wear something else for a week sometimes to get the excitement up again for the main project

@Mizmazzle Agred like they take longer to soften, stretch and wear in than any of my others. Sleeping in them strangely worked to get them where I wanted but only after the first 7-10 weeks
-
@GoodtimeJohnny going in for a first “real” wash this weekend. Hoping the waist will stretch a bit easier post wash this time around.
-
@Mizmazzle I stupidly boiled mine to get more shrinkage out of it and completely destroyed the leather back patch then it took another soak the loosen again
-
@phoenixinflight definitely snagged them in Osaka. Maybe its the other cuts that are only available outside of Japan? Pretty much 634 or straight leg options when I was there.

@FlavourFade that’s a solid strategy. As I’ve matured, I enjoy wearing my older, broken in pairs so much, it seems silly to ignore them after I’ve bonded with them so much. So lately new pairs just go slower. All good in my book!
