IH-777-XHSBB - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super-Slim Tapered Cut Jeans - Black/Black
-
Tag size 34 with a measured 35 waist ( thanks @graham ).
Jeans now drip Drying after 30 degree wash with liquid soap prior to posting back to IHUK for hemming.
Knackered, need to go for a lie down. Just turning these jeans inside out and back again, prior to and after washing is like a full body workout. Needed to get my foot on to the waist band to give myself enough purchase to turn the trousers inside out
-
Me too, even though my pair might be arriving tomorrow.
-
Before a hot soak, fit looks nearly perfect.

This is probably more nitpicky but I'm debating if I should give them a weeks wear or soak now.

I should have said initially, but imho that is an excellent pre-soak fit.
Get the shrink out, they will stretch back to where they are now and look even better after you putting your mark on them. They’ll be perfect.

Only a bit of black.

Loving the pre and post measurements Nick, we really appreciate that! Hope you are loving the denim.
I must admit that the rear rise is the most difficult measurement to get right, especially with such a heavy fabric, Ben and I worked together finding this pair for you and I can confirm that they were 16.2" (as per the size chart) when measured The Iron Heart way. We can't wait to see some progress pics of these!
-
Yeah I've watched the measuring video more than a few times. These numbers are making me think I could try the 25oz indigo/black eventually. I'll get some pictures once they become less stiff.
-
Day 2, hot soaked and machine washed. These were quite a struggle to get buttoned up at first, but have quickly stretched out to a perfect fit.

@Nskelton With the few that stated there was barely any noticeable shrink with their XHSBB’s I was getting a bit worried until you posted. So, BIG thanks for your thorough pre & post-soak measurements!!! Helps a lot.
@peregrine such an epic fit on your pair!!! & awesome photos, really captures the true essence of the denim color & texture-wise.

@RoxRocks86 You're welcome, the fit after after hot soak.
