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

[wakeupscreaming]

Received mine today, and yea they're stiff like hell, and a hard way to start into IH denim.
As this is my first IH jeans, im quiet happy that they fit perfectly in waist and length,
but it was a pain to put them on first time, because of the cardboard feeling.
Still debating whether soaking them or not to soften them up.
I´ll put up fit pics tomorrow me thinks.

Soaking them won't help….......

[wakeupscreaming]

lol, ok so i have no other choice than taking the hard road i guess.
First thought was like "yay, they fit me good" second thought was "uh oh feels like the jeans wear me and not like i wear them"…

25oz, sanforized, unslubby, no shrinkage and little stretching… what can a bit of water?

[Beatle]

mine won´t see any water until 2012

Question: stand they alone without you in it?

[Beatle]

Giles - any rough idea on the25 tees ?

[Giles]

We have been telling people sometime next week

How is sitting down in a fresh pair of these, as compared to a fresh pair of 21 oz'ers? They look pretty pliable.

[Giles]

More difficult. Bending down to tie your shoelaces is a challenge and I have taken to putting my socks on before my jeans to save time…....

i know the pix suck… 

[Beatle]

just wear..will settle nicely

Hi easy

is your Levi's avatar a sarcastic one, or an ode to what was, should have been and will probably never be great again?

@Beatle:

I think he picked it as a constant reminder what never to buy again..

@georgeel:

I believe that there are people still buy them only for the arcs …
