IH-666-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo/Black

I used a wooden dowel to work them a bit for that first fitting but yeah they've loosened up quite a bit after a few weeks, and now slip on and of easily enough. They find their seating basically

@dirtyframer
I work the button holes with a sharpie when I first get them. After that I have a rule that I undo every button every time I’m in the bathroom. By the end of day 2 it’s pretty easy. I keep the “all 4 buttons” rule until I can easily undo and redo each button individually while the others are still buttoned. -
I do the need nose plyers trick, reverse open to give em a little stretch. I keep the very bottom buttoned at all times.

This exactly.
I have one that sits in my drawer with hem off cuts and stuff that's very indigo stained. -
I just work the holes a bit with a screwdriver to widen them but after a couple wears they become pretty okay to work with

Post warm soak.
The butt and knees look cool. The leg opening is bigger than I expected. Crazy what a single inch adds. Lost 3/4" waist and 1.25" inseam. Leg opening zero/negligible change.

Gonna wear them all day for a hot day in Disneyland tomorrow. Wish me luck
-
I found these in stock in almost every size at Black Blue in the states. Just fyi. I didn't realize retailers got them.
-
@CosmoSix5 thanks for the blackblue tip. I couldn’t find these anywhere. I just ordered a pair from them
-
Y’all need to quit talking about stuff on this forum. I feel like I missing out if I don’t pick up a pair of these… thanks for the blackblue tip

@northsouthdenimguy the fabric is insanely nice. The 634 XHSIB are my "nice" weekender jeans. ~10 wears and the electric blues are already popping.
-
My 25 oz XHS are pretty faded at this point, so figured it’d be nice to have another heavy pair at least for a bit that looks crisp. Also, I’ve been purging quite a bit of stuff over the last few months so figure I can justify it.

It makes me so happy that tip helped. I'm always window shopping so glad to do it.
I'm still deciding if I'm going to hem mine or sell them. 777 is so much better for me personally. I know that's going to restock and I'm going to want to cave. I'm trying to tell myself that I'll like the 666 hem/opening better when they're not Tokyo cuffed as they are currently. Real
bottom thing going on atm lol -
@northsouthdenimguy That's what differs with Iron Heart for me, the community here and getting everyones opinion, sure you could argue posts on Instagram/social media do the same, but it's more personal here... Always looking out for each other!

@deanclean Didn't know BlackBlue was getting any of the XHSib. They're getting absolutely loads of product these days! Good stuff.
-
I’ve always been on the fence about this indigo black, but damn, they are so nice in person, and the stitching is not nearly as neon yellow as it looks in photos.

@CosmoSix5 Were these the same pair that got the clay treatment?
