IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

[1963rookiestar]

Just got these today. Ordered online. I was originally going to go for a 33W. Based on recommendations here I sized down to 32. A bit snug in the waist. Hope to get some of that stretch. Most fits suffocate my thighs but the measurements on these are very nice.

21 oz. stretches fairly easy with wear. Within a week or two you’ll forget that they were tight.

@weftyarn i’ll think you did a great move by convincing yourself to buy IH 🥳

Today was a good day!
A new pair of jean and as a bonus I got a IHJ-86-blk to match.
On Wednesday it’s time for a hot soak and then break in period will start. Guess these will be like a walk in the park if I compare to my 555xhs.

Awesome combo @Skrietfranvildmarken
Fit pics?

[Skrietfranvildmarken]

@weftyarn will come in a couple of days.

Time for a “pre wear” soak. I know that you maybe don’t need that for the 21oz, but I kind of like the process.

Got a pair today from Rivet and Hide. 33 tag. Snug on the waistband. Moved up from 555s.

@Richard looks great!
The waist will be just perfect in a weeks wear.

@Skrietfranvildmarken Thanks

[weftyarn]

Great fit @Richard

@Skrietfranvildmarken I also love the process of soaking, even with pairs where it’s not a necessity. There’s just something decelerating about it which I like.

250 wear days evolution. Washed maybe 7 or 8 times. Just worn for office work, walking the dog, etc, nothing crazy.

Great documentation @EdH

And it’s crazy to see how there’s a point where the fading kind of magically accelerates at around 150/200 wear days.

@weftyarn I think ~200 days was also their last wash, before I sent them to @JoshC last time for a crotch blow-out repair, so that’s probably why the thighs suddenly start to pop around that mark.
