IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
I've had my 25oz 666's for a few months now and I'm not a fan of what these jeans do beneath the knee. I think because of the thickness of the denim, the way they often settle is just a bit too baggy there. Is there anything that can be done about that? Is it possible to alter the jeans by giving them a slight taper below the knee? Seems like a specialty job due to the 25oz denim. I live in LA but I dont think self edge will do that type of work. Any thoughts here? I had them hemmed so that I need to cuff them about an inch but I never wear them like that as it really exaggerates this problem - I look at them like i'm wearing bell bottoms. Uncuffing makes it look a little better, but not great.
Also, i'm a size 38. I think the problem is more pronounced with the bigger sizes. I've gone through this whole thread looking at fit pics and I notice the effect on the fit pics with the bigger sizes. The slimmer-waisted jeans dont seem to do this as much.

Now just waiting for the UPS truck to stop by my girlfriends is enraged because I bought denim lol.. Hopefully they'll fit well.. went with the original inseam because I like to wear my jeans with a single cuff and stacks of pancakes lol
Nice! Wait till you feel the quality and heaviness of these jeans. Addiction to IH follows

There are places in LA that will taper 25 oz. denim. Denim Doctor (?) and I think Schaeffer Garment Hotel as well.

Do you have them hemmed? Makes a difference.

Finally got it in!!!..all i can say it is amazing!!! the weight, comfort, quality and durability is incredible!!!…putting them on was a little hard not really as hard as i thought though..not that it was tight and all but more so just fasting the buttons for the first time made my fingers hurt a lot!!!!...after buttoning the denim to the top i had an "ok" fit around the waist...not tight where i cant breathe and not loose where it'll fall off my behind..i actually could tugg atleast a half an inch in front of me (is that bad? fitting wise?) knowing that it'll stretch to about an inch after a lot of wears..Does anyone have the same fit or similar to me? do yall find it ok? would it be smart to down size or stay with this tag size? other than that the inseam is long but thats ok i like to wear my denim with monster stacks..Thank you very much to Giles and Paula for my very first heavy/Ironheart denim!!!

No, I'm taking them back to self edge and having another inch to inch and a half cut so that I can wear them uncuffed.
Do you know of anyone who has tapered these jeans before? I'm interested in seeing some pictures.

Just got mine delivered at work. Thanks for the quick service Iron Heart
Anyways, I had to try them on right away so I snuck into the handicap toilet at work for a quick try on. And oh boy, these jeans are tough. I mean, I thought that 25 oz can't be that much stiffer than 21 oz, but I misjudged on that one. I only managed button the top button to see if they fitted me in the waist and they did. They are gonna need a lot of wear before they get comfortable. But they will become comfortable!

They take some work, Pushranger. I wore mine every 2nd day for the first couple of weeks. Then I wore them everyday. After about a month, I started to feel like I was in with a chance of beating them. After about two months, I fell in love with them.
25oz denim makes you work for respect, but it gives plenty back in the long run.
