IH-555-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Indigo
-
@Oaktavia SBG is great (very good year-round), but the 25oz is certainly my favourite as well. Love the way it fades, and love the feel of it while wearing it or even just handling it.
-
Every XHS is legend! XHSib and XHSbb are insane but XHSmb is also very cool! But i must say that the cozy feeling from the XHSib is legend compared to my XHSbb for example. Anyway.. good this one is restocking again
-
@Heavy_blue Yep!
(I think I have all the 25oz variants except for the Pronto editions. Hoping to see a return of the indigo/indigo version especially at some point)And for those picking up some 555-XHS when it restocks, you are in for a treat

Beautyfull weather for a soak i'd say... 45min water and then drying in the sun
-
Love the after soak moment
-

Waiting for a pair to land at my door step, could someone help a newbie pls
-
According to the care guide I should soak before wear. if lets say my pair is a 30 waist and i wear it without a soak will they stretch to a 31? and if i decide to soak after that will they shrink back to 30 or 29 ?
-
Will the inseam shrink more than an inch with a soak/cold wash ?
(sorry if this is posted in the wrong place i couldn't find a q&a thread for the 555-XHS)

@Travis They look so toasty on you!! Happy to hear you’re XHS 4 life
-
@Yamanunu You're in the right place, don't worry!
We recommend soaking them to get any shrinkage out, so you don't have to contend with it down the line.
If your waist starts at 30, you can expect approx 1" shrinkage in the waist, so post soak they will be around 29". They will stretch back out to 30 or so, once you start wearing them.*
The inseam will shrink but not stretch back. The amount of shrinkage varies on your method but I would account for 1" as a rule of thumb.
Turn them inside out, then get them wet through in a sink or bath tub before they hit the washing machine.
*All of the above is based on a 30 degree C wash with low spin and drip dry.

@AdamJ Thank you, will soak with cold water and wait a bit before the first wash, can't wait to start rockin them
-
First pair of IH, first time i try 555 and first time buying direct from the Uk, I understand now Brutal yet so beautiful and well made thanks Graham and Travis I appreciate your patience with me and thank you guys for finding the perfect pair.
Definitely not my last 555 and not my last pair of Xhs
Can’t decide if I want to use as is or soak first, will se and maybe post an update ️
-
@Yamanunu that is truly a great fit. Soak em before you start wearing... If you set your creases,fades etc and wash em then they will be on different places cause this denim shrinks and you won't have that look
-
@Yamanunu 100% soak first.
I personally put mine on for a few minutes a little before they are completely dry. Doing this molds it perfectly and sets those creases. It may even help with stretching back the waist if needed. I do try to be careful not to stretch out the knee area too much though.
And I dig how it looks after I hang it back up to finish air drying.
