IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[babyknight]

Good choice shoreman.  I think the cut on the 666 25oz is a golden one, from the pics at least it seems slightly different than the regular 18oz fit and the fit pics on this thread all look great (indigoskin in particular, love that fit…)

It take me a good 10 mins to button up this monster.

They are very addictive.
Today I tried for a few minutes my dear ol' 634sr… supreme jeans, yes they are, but now I can't call them "heavy" anymore...
634S, for their part, are flannel!

These are my IH-666-XHS, destined to become "light" when 31oz 666-UBAXHS* come out...

currently I have no camera, so I'm forced to torture you with these revolting iPhone pics…

I like the deep blue color of the SR much more out of the box, but I have a feeling the XHS denim is going to look amazing over time.  I've only had mine for a couple of weeks and am already starting to seem some great color popping through.  I can try to photograph it, but it only comes out well in sunlight.

Not all that much we can do about that at this point, eh? ha. I'm glad to see so many people have jumped at the opportunity to try this new denim. I'm seriously starting to feel left out… >_<

[dave]

Probably not much we can do about it period.  It's just different denim.  I think the XHS contrast will blow the SR out of the water over time

[dave]

You gotta post more now, Dave!..

Is there anyway that this denim will shrink? Perhaps with a hot soak at the waist line? The waist is a little too loose for my liking..

[Giles]

I doubt it I am afraid

[nicolnicolnicol]

It's okay! Nothing a belt can't solve!

[Beatle]

yap, nic, same boat as you..I checked - and actually my Busters od are the same size as these /29 - and the waist on the 666 could be about an inch smaller..so yes, belt it is..

[kit99bar]

luckily the denim does not stretch much.

[georgeel]

0,2" in the waist, according with SE. Optimistic, I think.
I recommend a good belt.

Wanted shoreman's ihb02. But the shipping is just crazily high. That's for living far away in southeast asia I guess..
