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

@Al:
This is a great way to start 25oz off. I am having a back op in June so wanted to get these going.
My 634 21s feel pretty light now.Naff pics are better than no pics, and I reckon yours was better than naff anyway.
I have found my way back to the 21oz recently and am enjoying it a lot, but the XHS will always be my favourite.

Looks like sizing down and these being so tight on my knees is working out. Also every time I wash my hands I dry them on my jeans (if no one is looking).

Thanks! Since April 7th. About 7 weeks.

I am seriously enjoying my new jeans in case you were wondering.

Hey Al

@Al:
Hi @neph93 (sorry), it is an Aero Dustbowl, and thank you.
The colour and texture are glorious. My preferred colour for a leather jacket would be that kind of brown, but I feel my preferred styles work best in black. Hence I have yet to take the plunge.
As with most of my pics the colour is much better in RL. It has started to develop breaking in tones (just like a pair of IH) which add to it's depth and richness. It is also starting to show it's grain.
I would normally tend to the black (and steel) choice as well however a good mahogany gives a lot more flex (now that someone has pinched my flowing black locks and replaced 30% with this grey stuff).

Does anyone know if the denim breaks in similarly to the overdyed 21oz? My 888s-od’s are the best fit I’ve ever had and I’m wondering if I could expect the same from these. I don’t really care about a break-in period, as long as they’ll fit the same eventually
Njaaa… I have both the IH-888s-OD and the IH-888-XHS. They are the same cut, but the denim is very different. They will fit you in a similar way for sure, but there will be differences because of the nature of the denim n
Despite only 4oz difference in weight the 25oz is a tighter weave and a much stiffer denim out of the bag. You also have some slight shrinkage going in this fabric, while the OD has none, and stretches very easily.
So it won’t be exactly the same, but it will still have a similar shape and contours.

Would you say that the OD has a bit more give to it whereas the xhs would retain its original shape? The od fit great off the rack, so I’d be okay with that
-
XHS stretches too, it just shrinks first, but the OD stretches a lot more, so yes I’d say it holds its form better.
K, it says it’s sanforized but unwashed. Does that mean I should wash it when I buy it or wait until it’s ready for a wash? Maybe it’d be best to avoid that shrinkage at first
