@Giles said in IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo:
The Samurai 25oz are way stiffer than XHS. Our warp is double twisted, which results in a more flexible denim...
Interesting..... Ok back on delayed Christmas wishlist (for new year restock)
I actually got a pair of samurai 25oz off ebay and i think my wish for iron heart 25 oz is on a long pause. They were unsanforised so i sized up. After a 40* delicate wash no spin they didnt shrink width that much so i guess i should have gone with 38.
Wearing 25 oz is fine. Im used to 20oz super secret oni and this feels about similar thickness just much more dense and cardboard like for now. So why ill think long and hard about 25oz iron heart? Buttoning! I quite literally cant button them! I cant risk wearing them where i need to unbutton and button them back! A single button takes me 25min to do and i need a rest after each button! And yes i tried working out buttonholes with screwdriver!
@goosehd oh I definitely could size down.... everywhere but hips... And I have a pair with a bit too small hips and I don't want to make the same mistake! And if I size down, everything will look better but I'm not sure if hips will work...
Yes I measured. In theory, 888 should work. In reality they don't.
And after spending 1.5h in denim shop... Apparently measurements just gets you in ballpark! Unless every measurement matches... In which case might as well buy one more pair of same jeans I'm wearing now!
Eh, I guess I'll await a restock, order 38" and see about exchanging to 40 if hips feel small from the beginnin!
Hey guys! Last year bought 2 jeans I don't particularly love.
Blackhorse lane NW1 16 oz was hoping either hips will give more, or I'll shrink a bit. Didn't happen.
Oni secret super rough. FOMO got the best of me so sized up in a cut that's too slim for me. Weirdly after wash they shrunk a lot and fit nicely, but now I need to wear them and see how much they stretch back.
This year I want to jump in 25oz pool. It's between iron heart and samurai.
I tried iron heart straight and relaxed tapered cuts in lightweight denims.
888 38" was a no go. 40" was still slim but wearable. Just when sitting down felt like raise slipped down too much. So I don't want to risk that in 25oz
They didn't have 38" 634. Size 40 felt a bit big everywhere but hips.. So I guess question is how much they shrink/stretch? And if hips are nice on 40, should I risk waiting for restock to try 38?
