IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
any washes?
i got derailed by delusions of grandeur with the RAWWAR kicking off, but i realize that i probably have little chance of winning and with the shit weather here in chicago i've been back on the 25oz train. i still have a month to go probably until i see some bright blue with my own eyes.
no washes, but think the light on that day made the fadings appear more prominent then they are, but you see what there will come…
maybe i just need to go outside when the sun is shining i'm not too good at that.
man of the dark, or what

Hmm, i didn't like the fit on me, due to the stiffness they didn't drape as nicely (of course they will settle with time). But as I sweat pretty easily I think i would not be able to wear them except in winter.
-
Yeah, and tbh they are also too "regular" for my personal taste. but these sure do fade beautifully and this alone makes them interesting. Maybe the extra-dipped 23 oz SE collab (forgot the name, the one which caused argument ;D) will fade similar?
Oh, here's the fit in W33 btw.
-
Yea Max I think it is a good fit, but since they are so heavy, it will take some time to start to look "normal." This seems to be the case for the people who have had them for 2 months at least.

Max- At the DC4 shop? I thought I recognized the old black Union Special.
I got the 666s in 25 oz and had a similar first impression. I think that the thickness and stiffness of the denim seem to accentuate certain folds that would not look so pronounced in the softer 21 oz denim. I have been wearing mine for about a month (mostly on the weekends) and they are starting to settle down a little bit.
-
^^ yes, at DC4.
^you may soak just the hem to get some bleeding out. There are also guys who put ducktape on the inside of the hem to prevent bleeding. i personally love and embrace indigo stains, but you might want to try these two tricks.

I'd say, live with it like most of us do….or buy BLACK boots.
I don't like black boot, I prefer to live with it!

I would definitely recommend bleeding/soaking the bottom of these if you don't want your light/colored shoes to have blue marks on them. Or you could delay wearing them with light colored shoes you care
about for a while (a few months?). The stains didn't really bother me too much, but I tried using a product called Jasonmarkk last night to lighten them up a little.. I'll let you know how it works once re suede has dried completely. -

What, like this?
I live with it…..
i should take a photo, but i have the opposite of this - well this happens too, but i get these marks on the cuffs of my 25oz'ers and on my 634's, i don't know if it's from the boots or what, but it's annoying.
i'll snap a photo, i assume a soak will get rid of the problem, but i'll probably wait for winter to be over to soak the fuckers.
my grey moc toe rw's have developed a nice indigo sheen to them.
cheers.
