I’m also a geocacher. This was a quick stop in Iowa on my way to MN. Ice cracked as I inched out but held long enough to sign the log.

Hey guys and girls of the IH forum. I'm Michael & new to IH jeans & somewhat new to raw denim (a few months). I know buying these right now is sort of like getting a face tattoo as your first tattoo, but I'm the type that goes deep when I get into a new hobby. I got my IH-555-XHSib's last thurs and I'd like some opinions based on my fit photos. Is the length look good? Does this fabric shrink a lot with just cold water? I feel like I can't afford much shrinkage but I am noticing its stretching out comfortably

My dog is lurking harder than I was before I made an acc for this forum lol

I washed mine on the hottest setting at first and didn’t get all that much shrinkage in the length. Any shrinkage I got anywhere else stretched back out pretty quickly.

My thoughts on the jeans; I always glanced over people saying the buttons were difficult  boy oh boy they took me 15 mins with pliers and I have no plans of unbuttoning the bottom button. The rise on this is perfect. The combination of the slimness AND the thickness require that much room I believe. Restrictive when sitting upright in a chair, but that's getting a lot better on my 3rd day of wear. At first I wasn't convinced it was actually indigo hahah. I can't wait to see this contrast. Although I'm not sure what the non-fading black weft entails.

In my state of VA we get a lot of humidity in the summer but I'll try to tough it out like the incredible Indonesians & their amazing fades. I work in a welding/fabrication shop so these are liable to get burn holes on the first day so they'll be evening and weekend pants. I might relegate my older denims to the shop in time.

I'm realizing my s8 isn't taking the greatest photos

You will lose one inches in length at the most and some in the waist and tight put they will stretch back to post size.

What is u want

@majkel that looks like a great fit. They may be a little uncomfortable after a hot soak but they should stretch back out again. I’d advise a hot soak straight away to get the shrinkage put, but it is up to you.

Not cool to quote pics all the time, though.

[xtcclassic]

@majkel I echo what neph said, the fit looks good. They’ll soften up and mold themselves to your body a bit with wear and look even better. It takes a while, but it will happen.

[majkel]

Thanks for the feedback dudes. My only concern being fade shifting later on, would it be silly to just hot soak everything except the top block since the top block will stretch back out anyways?

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

No, I do partial soaks to stuff all the time. Use the hottest water possible and soak for as long as possible. For example I soaked mine for 5 hours and I changed the hot water 3 times to keep it hot.
