IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
I finally washed my 666-XHS. They are a little softer, I think, and the crotch area is intact. Perhaps because I'm skinny…
I get the major stress in other points, like cuffs and inside the knees, that rub walking. In fact, I noticed a small hole near the hem. Perhaps these 25oz's are to be washed more often. -
I washed mine too.. They're nearly white in places. They got beat to crap in the washing machine since I didn't turn them inside out first. Oh well, it was going to happen sooner or later. I tried to get these pics as close to no bullshit as possible (at least on my monitor). The contrast is insane.

^ that pic represents everything great about IH imo,

I just figured it was the slim cut butt area and the tightness of the seat in the 666 that forced the wear. I can definitely feel that area getting the most stress when I go up and down stairs and stretch the legs out.
Thats exactly what I think. The main is restrictive to the point, on me, where I can't raise my knees parallel to the floor and surely can't skate in them. I move my legs to a point then it just stops and I can feel it in the same area mentioned. From the pics folks posted in this thread I'm sure my body type leaves much less room in the main… especially the thigh.
dave - those jeans look amazing.
ps - I am literally the Burger King… no affiliation to the Bain Capital run fast food chain, lol.

Those look great, Dave. It's like they have come alive after a bit of contact with water.
I want to wash mine earlier than I would with other jeans purely to protect them so they last for life. I don't think I'd regret it looking at those. But not yet. -
I'm still going to wait with washing my pair, and still not enough sunlight for doing some 6 month shots. Bad weather sucks..
But at least i ordered my second pair of IH, 666-SOD it is.

I tried hanging them with two (two!) wooden hangers with metal clasps - no dice… I tried hanging them outside on my rack - it fell over... It's one of them feckers with a heavy stone for a foot... I barely can move the fecking thing but the XHS'es didn't seem to take notice...
So I tossed them over a plastic rack inside an made sure there weren't any folds... And fuck me: I ain't turning them inside out again til they're dry either...
I hope they'll be dry by Tuesday...
-
The XHS were not made to be hung just like any other jeans. They just laugh in your face.

I'll try and take some better pics… Trust me - around this time 2k13 these are gonna be sick!.. Some say these fade fast but I never agreed... Slow as hell... Def will take another 6 months to see some significant fades
Shrank back to a ~33 - nice... Kneebulges are gone as well for now... Know these two phenomenons are very temporarily but let a man enjoy himself will ya
The sickest is the vertical thighfading… Pics later...
