PIH5DCT - 25oz Indigo/Indigo Selvedge Denim Tapered Cut

[Palmer]

Looking excellent and well protected there, @sabergirl. After looking at the measurements for this model I'm sad that I slept on them.

Making a post to memorialize day one of the Pronto XHS double indigo resurrection. After 2 hot soaks, 2 trips through the washer on the sanitary (hottest cycle), and 2 trips through the dryer… I got quite a bit of shrink in the waist. The waist is now tighter than my other pair, so I am happy. I starched and ironed the shit out of these to try and smooth and stiffen the denim as much as possible. There were also very heavy vertical creases up the sides next to the selvedge, so I had to pay careful attention to those and iron that out on the inside and out.

634XHSib and the Prontos are in the front.

Great to see a pair in decent shape. No go trash them!

Yeah! What Reuben said… [emoji1375]
I’m pretty jealous you have an almost fresh pair there Mike! [mention]Filthy [/mention]

Excellence!

Nice touch with the mug too.

The jeans are SKIN-TIGHT when I sit down. The rise is a full inch lower on these, but the yoke falls in about the same area because the top block is so form fitting. 

I am enjoying the texture and thickness of the denim from being washed and shrunk. It is perceived as being thicker than my XHSib pairs. But it doesn't have that silky suedey feel that they do, yet.

@Brock yeah, thanks for that. It will give me something to aspire to. Those are beautiful. I really like how blue and white the fades are on this denim.

I still have a little work to do to get those inside out vertical creases out of them. I have slightly smaller cuffs than per usual.

@Brock

How jealous what you get with a brand new pair  ???

[Jett129]

I find that the inside out vertical crease will dissipate with wear,maybe 7 days. Mine have just about 200 days on them and I need to get some pictures up,but they easily have another 200 wears in them as I’m not very hard on denim. They’re so comfortable.

[Kasi]

Definitely comfortable, from what I remember i sold mine off went somewhere in the U.S…

I may start all over again with the second pair, but at the moment I bashing the XHS B/B

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

@Jett129 I am eager to see them. These are so tight and stiff on me now it's hard to imagine them ever being comfortable. But I know they will be eventually.

[Jett129]

I’ll commit to taking some pictures tomorrow.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

This should be good because you're a real photographer

[Jett129]

Photographing clothes is photographic Kryptonite for me. Much respect for the insanely great images that Iron Heart has spoiled  us with. I’ll do my best.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Yeah it's a pain in the butt for sure. Either way I am sure your pictures will be excellent.

Damn @Brock those are great! You still wear em?

@Filthy great side by side shots of the xhsib’s & ind/ind they practically look the same. Are they actually that similar in real life? Would you be able to tell them apart without seeing the patches?

[Jett129]

Some quick IPhone pics just to give you a general idea. These have 205 days of wear and over 20 washes.

Those train tracks on the outseam [emoji8]

@sabergirl Thank you!  You just taught me a new term today.

[sabergirl]

Nice. This should be added to that denim glossary we were compiling somewhere around here.

Pretty sweet @Jett129 I can see how soft they are.

@RoxRocks86 the prontos are very blue and the XHSib has a slightly black and grey cast to it. So while they are similar in color irl the XHSib is darker.

Also I wasted my time trying to shrink these. The waist is back to where is was before. It took less time to get there than it took me to soak and wash/dry them.
