I'd kill [not really] to have a pair that fit me that well

[zhivago]

seems like you got it worked out there @bromp fit looks ace

[neph93]

yessir @bromp you're good to go. If I may, you should have a look at the 888 in a size smaller than your 777's in the future. These look ace, the 888's would be epic.

I don’t think I’d be able to fit in a W34 in 888 - definitely a W36 though !

You'd be surprised… They sit a lot higher up on your body than the 777's. I need W36 in 777's and can do W34 or even W33 in 888's...

In the meantime enjoy the great pair of jeans you now own

Oi lads!

Finally found my first pair of IH jeans, and though they've definitely made my daily bike commutes a bit more challenging I love them to death.

But ehm.. How many wears do you guys wait before first wash?

Some people write in months, but I don't rotate and only ever wear other pants when I'm working on my boat.

My recommendation is always to wash them when they get dirty or smell.  It's what my mum told me to do and it has not failed me yet…

Varies from person to person. Some people will wear everyday for six months without washing. Some people will do that regardless of smell, dirt or whatever. Some people will do that for even longer. That is not my thing.

I’m with Giles, when they start to smell noticeably they get a wash. Dried bread dough, ground in avocado, childrens secretions…. wash.

Sometimes that is three months, sometimes that is two weeks...

I am with Giles and Neph93 on this also. Stinking and cute dont mix. If they are dirty or smelly wash them. Nothing bad will happen. Thats for sure.

[Kasi]

Yep wash when you need too…

After one soak and about 40 days of wear these are feeling super comfy.  First wash coming today.

50 wears in and my daily bike commute is starting to show 

[neph93]

Classic cycling fades! Keep at it, judging by the action on the whispers these will be lovely in a few more months.

[RoxRocks86]

Not gonna lie, kinda missed the roominess of the 805’s while wearing these today.

[xtcclassic]

Yeah but those jeans will always and forever be cooler than cargo pants, even if they are IH cargo pants.

My go to pair for a year since I got em, love the 21oz denim. Probably worn 150 times, and only really starting to show their fades. Favourite is the coin pocket fade. I feel I’ve only just begun with this pair.

First class 21oz fades mate.

I love the glacial progress of this denim. Due to its omnipresent nature its genius doesn’t always get mentioned enough.

The comfort, heft and wearability mean they can be worn without thinking day, after day without care for the weather or activity. They don’t really develop in an obvious way until (for example), 150 days later when they suddenly look stunning, and as you say, have years ahead of them to continue their journey.
