IH-888S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

Soleamp

Here's my pair I have been wearing for about nine months. Probably six or seven washes. I'm putting them away for a bit to work on a new pair.

[mention]Soleamp [/mention] Your 142’s look great! Inspires me to wear mine more. Thanks for sharing!

Soleamp

@SKT Thanks, my pleasure. I really enjoyed wearing them and they are beyond comfortable…unlike the brand new 666-XHS that I am wearing now, haha.

SKT

@Soleamp Im looking forward to my first pair of XHS but probably not til next year. Do you find that the 142’s and XHS are similar in that they hold creases well? I’m convinced my 142’s will be my best faders down the road because they have stayed so crispy.

Soleamp

@SKT I'm by no means an expert on this and I'm just getting started on the XHS, but I do find them similar as they are both more tightly woven than the 21oz (those are my three IH denims). Also, I like fades, but I'm not insane about no washing, or not doing anything to affect the creasing or other aspects of my fades, I just wear and wash when I feel like it. So, after rambling on, I guess the fact that they have held the creases and faded nicely without much effort speaks for itself. I'm really excited to see what the XHS do.

SKT

I think “tightly woven” is the key. I’m looking forward to being able to compare them myself someday soon. Good luck with the XHS’s!

Soleamp

@SKT I think you're right. I believe I read here somewhere that Giles said the 25, 14 and 19 are the most durable (I think because the are all the tighter weave). While definitely hotter, I actually prefer the tight weave.

Been dropping some weight lately and decided to see what happens if I boil my size 36. I think I dropped them down at least 1 to 1.5 inches in the waist. But the interesting thing is what happened to the patch.

Wow, it's crazy that the patch turned that dark.

Yeah. And it was about half the original size. It then hardened once it dried and I could just break it off.

When are we looking at a restock on these?

Thought I’d post a few pictures of my 888s 142s.
I haven’t kept a count of wears or washes (dirty = wash) but have been wearing them quite often as my other pairs are either 21or 25oz.
