IH-634S-B - 21oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Overdyed Indigo

[derivative666]

SB is much darker then SEXIH13 when new. The 13 kinda has a purple tint to it it's a very nice dark color.

the 9xxx superblack denim is the darkest. black warp, black weft, don't fade.

I gotta say I'm really falling in love with these over dyed jeans. I'm torn between these and the 634XHS as for which will be my next purchase!!!

[xchen]

Me too… saw the 634xhs at self edge a few weeks ago... but I've always been drawn to the 634sb. Haven't had a proper black pair yet either.

[joesaintjohn]

Should I wash mine?

[Giles]

No, they look fine….

[Seul]

Yeah - let the dust settle, carry a vacuumcleaner everywhere you go; you'll be fine!..

[daynym]

Clean your boots! Your jawnz are fine though.

@joesaintjohn:

dirrttyyy , love it, great jeans on you Joe.

I love these jeans so much. The color is out of this world. Problem is: weight loss + denim stretch = they look too baggy and unflattering. I know Flo had some luck shrinking an OD shirt with a super hot bath, and I was wondering what kind of shrinkage you guys have gotten with these after first wash? Also, how much does it change the color? I've heard some say that it pulls more blue out than the black overdye, and I really want that electric blue shining through the super dark jeans look, so I'm a little worried. You guys are the best. JSJ.

^I have a similar problem. My 634s are two sizes too big ( + 2" stretch, so actually 4 sizes) and there is no chance to shrink them. At least in my experience.

I say go for it. Max Power got some shrinkage on an od piece: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=282.600

I have a couple of od jackets and I've washed one mine in cold water and it looks virtually identical.  I'd not hesitate to do a hot soak/hand wash a couple of times.  Haraki's od is pretty stout stuff IMO.

[scroogen]

I would flip them inside out and then hot wash/hot dry them.  Looks like yours needs a wash anyway.  you will get more shrink with a machine wash/dry

[7tacos]

I'll also add that I love od.  It's so tough looking and the treatment does so many cool things to the fabric.

[Max Power]

You can get a cetain amount of shrinkage with a super hot wash, but don't expect miracles. It's not more than a half size, as a rough guess. Maybe a dryer might add a bit.

Regarding the colour: Unless I'm in bright sunlight, overdyed fabric seems always black-greyish to me. Real electric blue is not that common to my experience.
