IH-777-XHSBB - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super-Slim Tapered Cut Jeans - Black/Black

[RoxRocks86]

Hallelujah to no plumbers crack @vaquero357 your fit looks look perfect. Know what you mean about the marbling with washing this denim. My pair ended up with prominent lines running up the legs where they folded in the washing machine  ::) what will your washing regime be with these?

[vaquero357]

…Hey Rox! Since these are literally spot on 'Slim Rockers' it's going to be warm soaks and hang dry for these babies! Not going to risk it. :o

...and in order to have plumbers butt you first have to have a butt!

...and since I kind of screwed up my 888's  I'm just gonna treat 'em like @spitfiredealer treats his! Gonna ride 'em like the nickel pony in front of the drugstore!

[spitfiredealer]

Do it! They will probably end up being your favourite pair after some not giving a fuck

Nothing like the personal connection you make with your jeans in the tub with the hands on treatment

I just ordered a pair of these 777xhsbb in a size 36, one size up form my 777xhsib to allow a bit more room all around. If they end up being a little too loose, I'll likely hot soak 'em and go from there. Super duper excited about this purchase!

[vaquero357]

…can't go wrong with that procurement @Oaktavia! Love the pair I picked up.

…just be gentle with your soak/wash/dry plan, the BB can get 'marbling' if approached recklessly as in my case with my XHS-888BB's. ::)

@vaquero357  K gotcha thanks for the tip, maybe I won't machine wash them then. Should I stick to the tub wash only? I'm going to try and see how long I can go after an initial hot soak but I'm not totally sure if it is needed yet…depends on how they fit. If they are feeling good straight out of the bag I might skip it.

[Oaktavia]

Or should I soak them before wearing anyway? If they seem to fit before a soak should I keep it on the cold side? And hot if they feel bigger, right? Been a little while since a new pair has come into my hands.

…@Oaktavia because my pair fit great right off the bat I soaked them in the laundry tub in warm water for about an hour and then hung 'em up to dry. That was it. I'd shout out to Reuben for any more info but that worked great for me. Good luck!

That sounds right on the money dude! Looking forward to the package!

I say get them in hot water ASAP and get rid of all shrinkage so you can wash without worry.

The waist will stretch back out an inch though, right?

[Jett129]

I have them in the 555 cut and they stretch,back out,pretty easily.

And yes, will stretch to pre-shrink size or a tad more….

[Oaktavia]
