Nothing a proper hemming won’t resolve. 56 wears, no washes/soaks.

Quick question. Looking to try out the 25oz, my situation is that I can’t really have cuffs due to my work environment. As much as I’d love to wear the jeans for a while before hemming, I’d need to have them hemmed from the start.

My only other pair of raw denim are UB 201 in 14.5, Which I had hemmed to 29 and after a wash they’re at 28. They could stand to be about a half inch shorter, but the 28 is OK. I know it’s hard to say, but from reading the forums, it looks like I can expect about an inch of inseam shrinkage on the 25oz as well.

Would you say that’s accurate? I’m ok with a half inch swing shorter, but not longer. Should I hem to 28 1/2 or stick with the 29?

Thanks!

@brenman email the shop: shop@ironheart.co.uk and they will sort you out or use the live chat feature on the sale page.

Works awesome and the guys are the best resource for these kind of questions.

[indigostiff]

@brenman why not just hem 1-1/2” long and anticipate a re-hem later?

75 wears, 75 to go. No washes / soaks.

@goosehd

Thank you for the great advice!

I worked with the team and came up with what could be the best plan given the approximate nature of the shrinking that can happen after a wash.

The jeans arrived yesterday. 25oz is no joke, I think a description I read of “wearing armor” is a great analogy to what they feel like.

After a hot soak/wash and a drip dry the jeans landed exactly where Graham approximated they would. I am so happy with the whole process, amazing customer service experience from beginning to end as well as a very high quality product.

Let the journey begin!

@brenman The guys at IHUK are almost indescribable in how good they are and am very glad to hear that it worked out so well for you!

Love to see some pics if you get a chance

I was going through airport security with my 25s on today and they said the “scanner couldn’t penetrate the crotch material of my pants” - needless to say I got a frisk up and left a bit disheveled. Just an FYi.

90 wears. Hoping for 150.

[goosehd]

@indigostiff Very common occurrence and I think some of us have worn them just for the extra attention

[tody]

@goosehd In the crotch area?

[goosehd]

@tody you get what you can get The older you get the lower your standards become…

@indigostiff That happened to me last summer when I wore 21 oz IHs through the airport. Was a bit surprised by that.

Hi guys I’m new here and looking to buy my first pair of 25oz 666s. Couple questions: 1. does soaking the jeans prevent indigo transfer? I have some light coloured furniture and I’ll be in some trouble if the indigo streaks onto the furniture. 2. Regarding honeycombing, how much allowance should I give for that when considering hemming? Thanks a lot !
