@Heavy_blue:
They are comfortable straight out of the bag. They have softened nicely and are easy to wear. My only pair of IH that are not heavyweights.
I'll see how long I can last
Yeah! I just started the journey on this slubby pair, mine are a little tighter around my tighs, but further good comfy fit! Love too see how these will turn out! But i’m also digging those UHR denims.. haha!
Washed jet?

Yes, my wife and I have two golden puppies and they get super dirty. They love to lay with us on the couch but some days it's like we live in a barn. I washed my slubs last week in the washer on cold and drip dried after 53 wears. I soaked them outside with the hose before flipping them inside out.
The puppies got a wash too and so did our leather couch. We will all be sparkling clean for at least a few days. Wearing slubs now day 56.

Sounds clean haha! And?? How did they turned out? I’m curious my friend! If you have some time drop some pics please!
-
They definitely look cleaner than before, though I did not take before photos. The thighs are starting to lighten up, while the lower half is still super dark. I can take photos later when I get home. @Heavy_blue

@Heavy_blue here are some quick shots in the sun. I'll try to take more later.

Better shots
Awesome fades going on there! Thanks for the pics and the time! Very curious how they develop further over time.

No problem!
Giles has the most faded pair I've seen with his sample 666. Pop over to the 16oz slubby denim sub to see.
Thanks for the heads-up, that pair is awesome indeed! Ours will get there haha! I’ll think i grab some UHR for rotation.

I just picked these up From IH UK, largely from reading through this thread. Got the perfect hem, defiantly a bit stiff to start but have loosened after only a few days wear. My current favorites in rotation for sure.
Thanks to everyone on here posting tips and advice on fit and fades!

I was in Gosport recently talking to Giles about these, and we are agreed they are the perfect IH summer jeans. More wearable in the heat than the 14oz but still with a bit of weight.
-
I believe it was reading Giles's thoughts or replies on here that gave me the confidence to buy these for the climate we have here in San Diego. I have a pair of the 14oz too and I would agree the slubs are nicer when its hotter, they breathe more I would say.

Blown away! So damn beautiful in this light, you are the true king of this denim game.

Can anyone give me some tips on soaking this pair? I did a quick forum search but thought Id ask on here as it is this particular style and cut.
I have worn them about ten times. I am not looking to adjust fit as its great as is and I don't want to shrink them.
My goal is to take down some of the dye transfer I'm getting on practically everything lol!

Tepid/warm water and agitation would be the way.
However you’ll only really loose the very outer layer of very loose indigo. These bleed. A lot. That will likely continue after the soak.
The only real to move indigo is friction and abrasion. So by wearing them.
