@jackdc100 I’ve never put mine in the washer and had them for years. Just tub soak and hang dry when needed. I did do an initial hot soak with as much agitation as I could get around to while doing other chores.
Ok gotcha. Thanks!

@jackdc100 After doing an initial soak in the bath I washed mine, inside out:
- 30c
- 600rpm
- 30mins
They were quite tight after this but loosened up pretty quickly. This was then my standard wash cycle each time they needed one
Great! Thank you:)

I did my initial soak today. How long are you guys doing the 2nd wash for? Are you doing it hot? I might have to hand-agitate as I don't really have access to a washing machine that I trust right now unfortunately.

RE: IH-777D - 17oz Duck Super Slim Tapered Cut Jeans - Brown
I just got a pair of IH-777Ds for Xmas:) I am very excited about them! I have a question though......How much do these shrink in length when washing or soaking in cold water? I am trying to figure out how much length to get cut off for hemming them. Thanks!

RE: IH-555-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Jeans - Indigo/Black
Do we know when there will be a restock of any of the slimmer cuts made with the XHSib fabric? I'm pretty keen on getting a pair of these.

Ok right on. Thanks again for the info guys. I think I'll pick up a pair of the 14oz jeans soon. It'll be fun to have the variety for sure.

RE: Random questions to which you seek an answer
@jackdc100 Hi and welcome to IHF, I see this was your first post. Good to have you here.
The 14oz is a good summer weight and breathes relatively well. They are a little crunchy at the start, but depending on what your used to not very challenging to break in at all.
The blue/black version is same denim just dyed differently. While I don’t own any, it shouldn’t affect their use as summer jeans meaningfully.
Not to turn your head, but many people find the 21oz to make an excellent summer jean, despite it’s weight. It breathes very well indeed and is very comfortable after only a few wears.
Thanks for the info guys:) I'm actually wearing the 21oz as I'm typing this. I do get a little hot when it's above 65 degrees or so. I was hoping the 14oz would be a good option for hot summer weather. The 21oz is really great for the cool Northeastern climate in the US though. Maybe most people have a better tolerance to heat than I do and do well with the 21oz fabric in hot weather. In addition, I really want to try the indigo/black fabric so I thought that having a different weight for the summertime would be a good excuse for another IH purchase haha.

RE: Random questions to which you seek an answer
Hi, I have some questions about the 14oz denim. Is this weight relatively breathable? I'm looking for something that would be comfortable during the summer. Does it require a lot of break-in? I also might go for the indigo/black as opposed to regular indigo. I don't know if the indigo/black has different characteristics or not. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
