IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
I use Obenauf's LP, mink oil darkens the leather too much IMHO. But both will do the job perfectly as far as protection goes.
-
I've done it twice in all the time I have been doing it, Matt probably 2 or 3 times and I think Dylan has a 100% perfect record. Normally, someone other than the cutter puts a note in the back pocket with "Hem to X" in little writing and "Cut to Y" in big writing, that helps stop the mistakes. But a combination of factors meant that this did not happen and I had 28 in my brain, so that is what I cut too. I realised halfway through the first cut, but that did not help much…..
-
Dylan very wisely kept a low profile for 5 minutes after the cut…...I was not best pleased with myself....
The worse that ever happened, is when a customer had sent in a pair of his own non-Iron Hearts, they got cut wrong. There was only one pair of this particular jean left anywhere in the world. They were in Japan and we could not buy from here, so we had to get H to buy them for us......

If anybody is looking to size down, I have a pair of 34x36 that have been soaked once. I need to be in a 36x36, maybe a 35x36.
-
Just starting to break in my new pair. 2 super hot soaks. I had these hemmed to a 31'" inseam so the knee and cuff measurements are a little different than what the sizing chart reads (pretty bad when you are so short the true knee of the jean no longer matches up!)
Knee 10" down to about 9.75"
Inseam 31" down to about 30"
Hem 9 1/8 " down to about 8.75" -
@DrBabyhorse they will stretch a lot! My 634XHS stretched two inches in the waist.
-
Actually mine already have stretched pretty close to two inches in the waist. The issue for me is the thighs, which are also stretching, but taking much longer.
