IH-555-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Indigo/Black

@Kasi fast fader for sure!

They were my first pair of jeans that fitted perfectly and that I wore constantly for 1 year.
At the time I was New to fading denim and all I saw was “still dry “ crap …. contestants wearing the same denim for Y2 that didn’t soak them so that’s what I thought had to be done lol..
and I’ve mentioned it before it was brutal breaking In period.So wouldn’t mind getting another pair knowing what i know now
-
from my experience they even fade faster when soaked and washed.

@kasi @Daniel-San
I know I have to give them an initial soak now . Like I did with my XHSThat’s what I’m saying this time around…I would give them an initial soak, I wouldn’t get them hemmed as I like the original length. I wouldn’t have turn up cuffs leave them down because i like the look of loose stacks like my 555sSBG . Few changes different outcome.. main one easy break In period

Here is my pair, fresh after a wash. I'm at 417 wears. For the first time, they need some repair/reinforcement in the crotch--one area there is wearing pretty thin.
-
@Lowlander wow man. Those are bananas! Well done!
-
Wowie @Lowlander 417 is a lot!!!
-
Cheers! Yes I don't think I usually get that far, at least not with other brands. But these are still in pretty good shape. My aim is to get to a 1000 wears.
-
@Lowlander those seem pretty awesome!
-
@Lowlander daaannggg! What's your plan for repairs? Mine are in need too. Was hoping to wait until XHS season is over but I don't think they can make it that long.
-
@hoppy_IPA The damage isn't too serious yet, so I'm probably going to ask a local tailor to run a couple of stitches over the thin area for reinforcement. That will be quickest, cheapest, and take up the least "footprint." If things get a lot worse later on, I will send them too IHUK.

Those are BEAUTIFUL, @Lowlander!
