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

[northsouthdenimguy]

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.

Sent mine to get hemmed at Franklin and Poe today!

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

[anodyne]

My favorite pair of IH ... followed closely by my 634XHSib. I almost bought a backup pair

[CosmoSix5]

@Go-For-Chill no. Those are 777 xhs

Warm soaked them yesterday and currently drying with a fan on them. you guys are making me excited to wear them this evening… I will say it’s crazy how stiff they got after the warm soak. I could easily button them unsoaked not sure that’s gonna happen now.

@northsouthdenimguy
When I handed mine to my wife after the dried and were super stiff, she just said “whyyyy”. lol

I’ve got a dislocated thumb and they made it worse trying to button.

my wife calls all my XHS denim, “cardboard”

[northsouthdenimguy]

To say my wife is not impressed by my clothing choices would be the understatement of the year, and she refers to all my denim jeans as “cardboard pants.”

And 526L is the "ghost jacket"

[anodyne]

I barely have fingernails and I managed to bend one back trying to button the bottom-most two ... not to mention my carpal tunnel being old/IT career. Worth it though lmao. *If I live long enough to need/order another pair, I'll make sure to have the young guns at IH make sure the last two are buttoned on arrival.

@Workwear How did the heavyweights work out

[Tago Mago]

My wife has resigned herself to the fact that I wear these clothes. Sometimes she even likes then

[northsouthdenimguy]

I was prepping these to wear to dinner but I decided against. I guess these will have to wait for the first wear until next week.

Also was pleasantly surprised at the amount of shrinkage from the warm soak, worked out just right…

[mecken88]

Man first time putting mine on after managing to button all up, it felt like my thumbs was going to fall off

[Workwear]

Kind of surprised at how fast these get fairly comfortable and sort of soft after wearing for a few weeks.

[FlavourFade]

@Workwear I am at 30 days with my 634xhsib and while the wider cut is more comfortable from the start, the fabric also softened up a lot and feels way softer than in the beginning
