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

[Alexander]

@goosehd Fantastic! They are perfect as they are - I can see them become my favorite pair of denim based on my developing love for wider fits.
I also just got a pair of the Blacksign 15oz Vocalion (see images) and these are a great right in the middle between those and my 777S in terms of fit. Not as high rise, not as wide (leg opening on the BS is 10.2) - a great cut to wear with basically anything.

My new friend just walked into the door after a short bath - standing strong on his loong 37 inch legs.

@Twistlock Awesome! What is the strategy behind the first soak?

[Giles]

Recommended as per the guidelines, but mot mandatory. Gets rid of the starch, any shrinkage and beds down the constructional stitching. Will make them last longer.

Yep, that's why @long_john86

@popvulture no washes. I do dry my hands on my thighs after washing them sometimes, picked that up from Filthy. But these jeans have not been been washed, no.

@Oaktavia
great
I can’t believe you cut your hair , wow
but looks awesome dude !

[popvulture]

@Oaktavia dang dude that’s hella fading for no washed. Good work!

[Giles]

It's not the washing that does the fading, it's the wearing. Washing just gets the grunge out which results in greater contrast and more vibrant blues.

[Oaktavia]

@Daniel-San haha I do so from time to time. I just usually let it grow once it's buzzed.

@popvulture like I said, the thighs definitely have touched water drying my hands after washing them while wearing them, but that's it. The shins really show the unwashed nature of the jeans.

[popvulture]

@Oaktavia yeah was really noticing it in the thighs, so the hand wiping def explains that

[Oaktavia]

@popvulture it helps remove any unwanted spots or dust that often ends up on the lap. Filthy wrote about this somewhere on here. They don't get soaked or anything, just a little moist.

this discussion and my recent good results with using a shop vac on a type iii has me wondering if using a small upholstery cleaner might provide a good way to also spot clean. Though it might be I'm just more morbidly curious how disgusting the water would look like in the tank

I have a clothes steamer that I use for wool and suits---and 25oz 634s. I steam and then give them a gentle wipe with a towel. When they're dirty for reals, wash'em. Fades are stubborn but I take that as a very good thing, I'm in no hurry.
