IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[neph93]

Front loaders are the norm in  Europe, so no. In fact I’ve heard that top loaders are worse for this, but again I have no personal experience.

@Giles:

.  I always soak before washing and always turn inside out.

I think this is key. I always do it. Two mins inside and out with the shower head then straight in the wash.

Top loaders are more harsh than front loaders, generally speaking. I've also had better results washing jeans with a couple of other items, as Giles said. Typically, I toss in items of varying sizes- a towel, some socks, and a t-shirt or two, for instance. I have no empirical evidence to support this system, but it works pretty well for me.  Oh yeah- wash inside out, light soil cycle, low spin (my machine doesn't give rpms, much to my annoyance).

Thanks for all the washing advice.  I have top load and i havent figured out how to control the time for soak.  I think it drains after 10-15 min regardless of what i do…turning the washer off etc.  I usually go wiht tub soaking/washing which is what I did, and managed to get inside out.  Worked like a charm.

Hi to everyone,

is it normal for legtwist of right leg?

[Kasi]

What not normal about it…

Legtwist on the XHS is normal, especially at larger (34 and up) due to the fact that it is unwashed - similar to how unsanforized denim with shrink in accordance to the twill weave direction, an unwashed denim (like this one) with skew.

I always love have the selvedge line twists and lays on the laces of my chucks in a cool way - like an “if you know, you know” badge of honor!

My 777-XHS has some leg twist predominantly in the right leg, size 34

Hi Phil. All my leg twist happens on the right leg, and I have it on nearly all my IH jeans with the exception of 21oz iterations.

[Phil]

Thank you, guys!

Looking sharp @Appfaff  XHS is just so good.

@henry_david - totally agree man! I'm just so over summer, and the heat, and shorts… been waiting until 6pm when the sun is not beating down on the house to put something with some flavor on

[henry_david]

Ha! Yeah, I bet the heat can get to you. Currently 57°F here 

Now when those colorful IH shorts come around as an option next year…

I'm 99% certain I'm going to buy these. I put on my 666-XHS today after a few months of not wearing them and was not pleased with how restrictive they felt in the hips and thighs. I've been wanting to try the 634 for a while now and think this is the ticket.

[henry_david]

Dude, @Palmer, these rule. As I'm sure you're accustomed to with the 25oz, it fades like a dream and I can still breathe when I put them on, too 

Here's a recent snap of how mine are shaping up:

I find that I can never quite capture just how wonderful this denim fades.
