IH-777-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo/Black

[FlavourFade]

Thanks so much you guys @Luijim78 & @Heavy_blue !

Think I'm gonna pull the trigger. The problem with stuff like japanese selvedge denim is that often the runs are very limited which I understand but it is very hard to be patient and not just buy everything that looks cool because of being afraid you may not get a pair of jeans or a shirt later...

And being crazy impatient like me makes this an issue it's an addiction

@FlavourFade the way to go

[Luijim78]

@FlavourFade I understand you very well. I have the same problem... never mind ‍️ the Latins said "melius abundare quam deficere" and I made it a life motto

@FlavourFade You did the right thing.

[FlavourFade]

@Luijim78 had to google it but I get it. Also it is a big privilege to be able to afford this kind of denim.

@twin @Heavy_blue thanks guys! Looking forward to wearing it.

[FlavourFade]

There she is. Fit is a little on the lose side but I prefer it that way and think it's gonna mold to my body and look a little more fitted then. What do you think? Also not sure if I give it a soak before breaking in and should I get it hemmed?

777 looks good very slim or a bit baggy if you ask me! They look definitely relaxed but still slim, cool! If you’re going to hemm them then i would definitely soak/wash them first since they’ll shrink a bit! I always soak my xhs hot to get the most shrinkage out.

[FlavourFade]

@Heavy_blue thanks my man! I think I am going to soak them and let them hangdry after but wear them like without hemming until I get bored of the big cuff I really like the look already and I do not love to wait a couple days until its dry but I want to give them a good start

[A Former User]

@FlavourFade almost sure you already know this but put them inside out before soaking! Let them drip dry untill they are fully dry before you’ll flip them again

[bluemantra]

@Heavy_blue Any special reason for letting them dry before flipping back again? I usually wash inside out then flip back to air dry.

[goosehd]

@bluemantra I do the same as you and don’t have a problem

[FlavourFade]

@Heavy_blue I always put my denim inside out wenn I (and that barely happens) wash them in the machine but for soaking I never did that. Does that mess up anything? I just soaked them for 40 minutes but not inside out.

It’s in the guidelines from IH in the section: XHS. I never took a gamble and follow the instructions carefully.. i better be save then sorry! Also to prevend marble spots etc. although it does happen to black denim more then IB i’ve seen examples where the marble spots also occur on IB denim. So that’s why i’m always careful when soaking.. especially the first or second time. To be clear there is no good or wrong in this but like i said i better be save then sorry

[FlavourFade]

Totally agree with you! I hope I will still have great evo and can't wait to wear it

[twin]

Wearing almost everyday. Showing some wear & tear.

@twin you rock! Can’t wait to start on mine

[FlavourFade]
