  • RE: IH-555S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Indigo PREVIOUSLY IH-555-01

    Folks, thanks for the feedback.  I prefer a snug waist, really dislike slack which gets scrunched by a belt.  I’ll message IH when I put in my order.

    I had looked at the 25oz which has a 12.0 thigh and 32.5 waist, but I’m wary the post soak shrink and stretch won’t get me back to 12.0 on the thigh.

    Evening all,

    If I buy the 31 with a 11.6 thigh but need 12” thigh, will it stretch enough?

  • RE: IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

    Hey gang,

    I’m going back and forth between 29 and 30.  My preferred thigh measurement is 12 to 12.5.  Given these are sanforized and one washed, the 12.1 (of the 30s) may stretch past 12.5, but the 11.7 (of the 29s) may not stretch to 12.  Anything below 12 is just too tight.  I had a pair of IH B&S UHRs which shrunk just below 12 and I eventually had to give them up because they did not yield at all (and were amazingly unbreathable).

    I read somewhere in here that 1/2 inch of stretch in the thighs was possible.  As long as the waist stretches beyond 30.5, no problem there.

    Any thoughts?  Thanks

  • RE: IH-777-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo

    Quick question before I purchase these (pending restock, that is), because these are sanforized, most of the soaking/washing shrinkage will stretch back out (barring length), does this hold firm for the thigh?
    Reason, 12.1 is a great thigh for me, perfect.  I like 12.0, also, but anything below that is a no go.  I don't want to size up because then the top block will just be too big and bulky.

    So, experiences on thigh shrink/stretch?

    Thanks, guys.

  • RE: 634B&SRAW - 16oz Loomstate Indigo Selvedge Straight Cut

    Well, I've been traveling for the last several weeks so have slimmed down about 5 pounds.  The good news is, these jeans now fit perfectly!

    I've been wearing them the last week and remember why I like them so much… except one point.  I live in the Gulf, and these jeans do not breathe very well at all.  Sadly, they may only have a week or so more of wear before they get shelved again till I move back to the US in the fall.

    But, anyone considering picking up a pair, I strongly recommend.  Yeah the back rise is low, but after some wear, they soften up.

  • RE: 634B&SRAW - 16oz Loomstate Indigo Selvedge Straight Cut

    It's been a very long time since I browsed through this fit page.

    Unfortunately, I haven't been able to wear the jeans much as my thighs have gotten bigger as my exercise routine changed and the pants are about 1/2 and inch too tight in the thigh now to fit well.  Luckily, the jeans are amazing and waiting for the time when they'll fit again.  I don't want to wear them just to wear them and blow out the crotch.

    However, to answer the shrinkage question, I lost around 1.5 to 2 inches on the length when I soaked them. (check the pictures)

    The barefoot pictures are presoak with a double fold on the pant legs.  The pictures with the boots are with a small single fold post-soak after about four hours of wear around the house.

    There is a very small amount of leg twist but a casual observer would just think it is the way the pants fall.

  • RE: 634B&SRAW - 16oz Loomstate Indigo Selvedge Straight Cut

    So, I'm in the IH club now, finally.  I've spent about a year on the IH site going from style to style trying to decided which is best.  Luckily, the 634B&S RAW came along which fits my needs perfectly.

    I took some pictures pre-soak which I'll put up, then soaked them in a tub of hot water for an hour agitating them periodically.  The denim bled a decent amount which required me to scrub the tub (or incur the wrath of my wife).  I hung them up for a few hours then became impatient and directed a fan towards them to speed the process.  They stood on their own as you'll see in the pictures.

    The waist shrunk about an inch and has stretched back out quickly.  The thighs shrunk around 0.5 inches and I lost around an inch and a half on the inseam.

    Overall, after the soak, they stretched out quickly to my figure and softened to some extent.

  • RE: IH-666-UHR - Ultra Heavy - Devil's Fit (Slim Cut)

    @DrBabyhorse:

    @neph93:

    They do look very nice indeed. Much in the way of shrinkage? I was slightly dissappointed by how little the (old batch) UHR shrank.

    I didn't measure, but it was only noticeable to me in the inseam. Waist and thighs stayed pretty much the same.

    After slaving away for much too long on the IH site I think these are the jeans for me (finally, maybe) because all the measurements will work great.  Especially since you said you didn't notice any shrinkage in the thigh.

    Does that seem to be the trend with this run of the UHR?  The inseam shrinks but the thigh and waist remain mostly unchanged?  I'd like the waist to shrink, just not the thigh.
