IH-888-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

First wear today. Gonna have to admit you guys were right and the dudes at Self Edge were wrong: should have gone for the 33. Even after a warm machine wash they barely shrunk (except in inseam which was genuinely almost an inch). I think the cut through the leg is okay but the waist is very loose and the top block is a bit messy. Oh well, you live and learn. If I can't stand it within the next month or so maybe I'll try to resell and recoup some of the damage...

@schraiber I’ve come to appreciate a little extra room in the waist in XHS. Also it’s good to have some size variety for weight fluctuation in my experience. I think the fit looks good.

You want'em faded? This is the way to go!

Today

@RJScheuerle my all time favorites. Mine are like a pair of sweats at this point. I washed a lot so they aren't super contrasty but the are fading nicely.
-
I got this thin diagonal fade. Is this due to an abrasion or natural fiber width inconsistency in the loom? I’ve seen this happen once on another pair of raw denim.

Overnight soak to loosen some stubborn dirt. Somewhere around 8 months of wear.

@Yoprst What are you taking these photos with? They look so good
-
@indigo_fades It depends. When I'm lazy I take them with my phone and when I want better quality I use my Nikon DSLR camera. This particular one was taken with Nikon

@catdad1 are yours hemmed in such a way that you have no stacks/don’t use any cuffs? I don’t see any fade evidence of either but I may just be bugging lol
His look similar to mine. I don't really cuff anymore and prefer a clean break without stacks. I find this to be the most versatile look across diffrent kinds of shoes. Since I haven't cuffed mine, the roping fading is amazing.
-
@Johnnyutah247 I bet it is dude. I stacked my UHR’s (unhemmed,) for 7 months and the roping was pretty gnarly. I don’t see many folks do clean breaks hence why I inquired. I may just consider that down the line, for me to get a clean break though I’d probably have to go down to a 29” inseam which is insane to me lol. I’d appreciate a fit pic of you with a clean break if possible!
-
I got you brother, for reference I'm about 6'2" and I get my jeans hemmed to like a 31 which works for me. But everyone's legs are different.
-
@Johnnyutah247 yeah we must have a similar leg to body ratio haha cause I’m 5’11 & I’d fall around a 28/29 inseam. Looking forward to the pic!
