IH-555-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Indigo

@Yamanunu there are more ways to fade heaven! But my way and advice is soak before wear! Why? When you soak/wash them after a lot of wear you’ll get some fade-shifting here and there. When you soak pre-wear this won’t happen. You can go the fully soakless road but then my advice would be to NEVER let then get in contact with hot water. On the other hand it’s your denim! Wear it your way and wear it with pride! They look awesome on you brother

Thank you guys I truly appreciate the recommendation and the experience you guys share, and thank you all for the compliments regarding how they fit on me , I decided to soak before starting to use them.

Method: cold soak 50ish minutes (forgot to turn them inside out I was too exited )

Shrinkage on waist was not so noticeable since I already could fit a finger or two between the jeans and my body before the soak would say 0,75 inch, inseam is about 0,5, keep in mind my soak was with relatively cold tap water.

Knee, hem and thighs feel about the same see picture for comparison and my pre soak post if needed.

Button holes took a bit of work and about 10 minutes of wrestling but are fine now.

The pictures in green tee are post soak

I noticed something weird despite these being 25oz they took about 6 hours less to dry than my Momotaro 14,5oz same place same temperature same method of soaking

@Yamanunu Looks awesome on you and sounds like the fit is perfect considering 25oz is a beast and definitely a step up from 14.5oz Momos. It's a good sign that the waist feels good right after the soak.

Enjoy and it gets even better after each wear!

My first and most worn pair of IH

[Travis]

Yours looks well nice Chuck' ^^

I'm about two months into wearing mine and only now just about seeing some colour come through, hoping we get a blazing summer this year to speed up some fading - I really hope these big crease's stick and the fading works around them

[Oaktavia]

@Travis hell yeah man they'll stick, so long as you stick to your plan. Stoked to see you push 'em there and glad you're on here posting. Pairs so well with the red UHF.

[Travis]

@Jcaz6996 oooooofff - yeah I've actually had to swap to a much lighter material at the moment, I can't wear XHS in 32 degree's man haha! I think I'm gunna get some shorts before August, this heat is mental in UK right now.

Went Rivet and Hide to today.
Had no intention to buy these.

Wanted the 666. Didn’t work for me.

So snag these instead.
Size down
Will soak these now

After talking to @Jcaz6996

Does anyone know if the 555xhs was ever released ( or planned) in black like 21sbg but 25 instead?

Been eyeing the Sbgs but no restock date as much as I tried to scroll back in time and from what I understand fabric wise the 25 seems like the right choice more than 21

@Yamanunu how about these:

https://www.ironhearteu.com/bottoms/ih-555-xhsib.html

• 25oz indigo warp (that will fade) and a reactive dyed black weft (that won't fade)

• XHS (extra heavy selvedge)
