IH-555-XHSBB - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super-Slim Cut Jeans - Black/Black

[PdxRoman]

Thanks for the advise. I am a little worried these are too tight. But I am sure they will break in eventually. I try to size for thighs and I considered getting the 33w. But the waist seemed to big. After wearing these 32w I am thinking of up sizing if I decide to get another pair in the future. I'll just have to wait and see how these break in.

They look really good in, but I can see they are trim at the waist. You might want to wear them for until they are dirty and them give them a gentle cold wash. They will stretch out an inch with wear and on a 30 wash shouldn’t shrink more thay half an inch.

Will these get soft over time or will they stay rigid or somewhat rigid?

[Giles]

If they behave like other XHS, then soft as sweatpants….

Note:  mine have developed the walking POP like my UHRs. :/.

Stealth/no stealth. Lol.

Double up on this denim? Even though I just bought the shinayakas, I might've become hooked on all the jeans..

More like like a Iron Heart fan

This is true. How's your pair looking? Or are you wearing a different pair?

@Nskelton

It getting little warmer so

I am a the moment bashing the hell out of the 555-01 21oz
For now..

Have so many jeans… to pick from

Sometime when I get bored of the 555 switch to NO LOT or may be 777 25oz.

I have the 21oz 777 mad black coming tomorrow.  In spring like to wear my overdyed more.

Think I will come back to these when it colder..

But there is sign of light grey effects showing on these XSHBB

Not only that I stop wearing other Brand’s I am no denim head, but Iron Heart only now.

[mikebarhoot]

Just over 6 months w 1 soak.
Feeling cute, may wash.

[mikebarhoot]

Made it 3 more months… 1 initial soak and 1st wash today.

Has anyone with the XHSBB seen vertical (the Matrix) fades as yet? As per the indigo XHS pictured.

Lol

Glad I sent the 555s-sbg back and bought these instead.
Bigger in thighs… perfect!

[Kasi]

Once you wear 25oz you don’t turn back….

@mikebarhoot

yep starting to see some Matrix (love that term lol) fades on my pair of 777. As with most denim photos, it looks more pronounced in person.

[mikebarhoot]

Yeah!  Not not wearing mine just not wearing them near enough to see any sorta fading. Other than where i rub side of knees up against desk and door in truck.

@cricca  fit looks great! glad you found a pair of black denim that fits just right 

[RoxRocks86]

@Oaktavia i stopped wearing my 21oz sbgs after traveling internationally in a pair of 555-03 during the onset of covid, but your xhsbb gave me fomo on how awesome black denim evo’s! You’ve inspired me to wear the 555-03’s and/or xhsbb’s more often, so thank you 

[Oaktavia]

@mikebarhoot yup just takes time just like other jeans. I think I'm around 70 wears and one super gentle soak with detergent to remove puppy dander.

@RoxRocks86 well hell yeah! We inspire each other!

[Pipeboss713]

Lovely pair!
