PIH5DCT - 25oz Indigo/Indigo Selvedge Denim Tapered Cut
-
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.

I've got 2 days on the jeans now and I think I have committed to wearing them. I love how the combs look set I'm. The waist stretched back out from an 18.2 to a 19 and then some. Looking at the measurements from the first page I guess they did shrink quite a bit or I don't know how to measure right. I watched the YouTube video and followed along but the sample pair that is measured in the video is very pliable and broken in. These are very rigid and the part that is supposed to be bent in half is more than an inch thick.
Measuring the waist the Self Edge way seems to subtract about .2 from the actual measurement.
I have steam ironed them a couple more times all over and the denim has that smooth even hand that I like. This denim feels like it has a different vertical texture than the regular XHS. I guess it is from the washer and dryer but the hand feels more like UHR or the 21 oz denim than regular XHS. But the iron definitely smooths and adds that sheen that I like. After being machine washed and ironed this denim is very "flaccid" and pliable compared to what it was.
I think I wore these about a month last time and gave up on them. But now they seem more comfortable and the waist is doable with a belt.

I have been ironing on the outside so they get shiny. The sheen goes away after a while but a smoother even hand is there.

Got those from a member today. Thank you Mike! Awesome pair. Finally a taper pair that fits. Lol..

Thank you @Neph93. Its my first 25oz pair. Very surprised of how soft they are. I guess i was expecting a thicker version of my 19oz and was sweating bullets. Nothing like that. More like a thicker 21oz. Very comfortable. I am sure Mike broke them in a bit. But they are great!
-
Nice fit on those @yannis they look super comfy. Same fit I'm going for these days
-
@BD81. Thank man. They are really comfy. I love the fit. Tapered, but also confortable.
-
Thanks man. Really looking farward to put in some time on this pair. But i agree. Phenomenal denim.
-
great fit, @yannis!
total grail denim. one can only hope the 25oz double indigo will make a return. surely it will based on all the requests
-
Hey @yannis glad they worked out for you and you like them. I broke them in for you so they should be super comfortable. Please enjoy them!!!
-
Thanks man. Beautiful pair of jeans. All i can say is Thank you!

You're welcome buddy

Perfect @yannis These are the ones that got away for me. Had a pair paid for and chickened out because of measurements that in hindsight would have been perfect. Very happy you have a pair.
@neph93 I was going to say sorry you don't have a pair but on reflection that would be childish and uncalled for.

That’s ok mate. In a strange coincidence the pair I do have are also a funny colour blue [emoji15]

Sometimes its hard to pull the trigger on a cut that you know most of the time does not fit your particular body type. I am in the same boat with Neph93 in a sense that my thighs dictate what size and cut i can wear and not my waist. Further more the knee measurement is also important to me. In any rate this Pronto cut although it looks similar to a 777 on paper is definitely roomier so it worked great. Its also a tag size bigger than what i would wear on an 888 or 634.
