IH-555-XHSBB - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super-Slim Cut Jeans - Black/Black

[Crispy Heron]

@Jcaz6996 - great minds think alike: I cracked these open last week. Top button was the most difficult I ever had to do. Eventually got there with multiple injuries to my left thumb. I have worn a few times since but I am putting off the hot soak as I don’t want to go through the pain of the top button again!

@Crispy-Heron lol mate when I say top button it’s not even close to the hole , think I better be loosing some weight to get these done up.
Even started running again …
There currently drip drying on my line with a clamp stretching the waist ..

Definitely not going to be fun ..

@Jcaz6996 hahahaha mate I am rocking mine for about a month now and have to stepp back in terms of christmas sweets to be able to get on with them but love em very much, they are already getting softer and show hints of grey. I think the best pair of jeans I ever had so far

[FlavourFade]

@Crispy-Heron I tortured the button hole with a screedriver and after that I never had a problem with buttoning them up

@Jcaz6996 might need a pants stretcher my man. Assuming the could be buttoned before the soak easily. Do you have one? About 20 bucks on Amazon I have use a pants stretcher and hat stretcher both worked well. Will save you time and some discomfort.

Edit: something like this

The one I have works on XHS too, I tried it on thr Pronto indigo/indigo. Just might need to stretch them again after washes.

Another trick that I’ve used is to wear them for a few days with the top button undone but with a belt. Normal wear and it will start to stretch everything out just enough to do that top button. That said, I’ve also had a bruise on the hip trying to do it too quickly.

Good luck!

@Jcaz6996 awesome mate, can't wait to see these faded where did you got em from?

[Oaktavia]

@goosehd @Jcaz6996 this is definitely worth a shot before trying a stretcher I would reckon. The stretcheders can damage the jeans if not done carefully.

[Jcaz6996]

@Oaktavia Not even close bud probably 1/2 inch away lol …

There still drying I’ll give them a bash in a bit

[Kasi]

@Oaktavia Have one of them. I also rip a top button off once or twice

[Mizmazzle]

[Jcaz6996]

[Jcaz6996]

@goosehd I’m not quitter pal
Just can’t quite get that Top one at the moment it’s Close , so doing as you have suggested and wearing them with that one undone for now.

[Kasi]

@goosehd @Jcaz6996 don’t fuck around

[Jcaz6996]

Mate these are shaping up to be Bangers ….’

@Jcaz6996 brother man!! I know you know your denim and a lot of this game is personal preference… but in my opinion….THE BEST DENIM EVER!

[goosehd]

I damn near pissed myself once with a pair of stubborn jeans. Fought all day to get that last button done and was so freaking happy when I did…

Then I realized I needed to pee…FFS getting them undone in time was close.
