IH-634-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[Qinhan]

Holy… that post-wash fit looks fantastic.  I'm amazed that they shrunk that much.  Nice work.

Daynym, those look sooooo good after the wash…maybe IJ is onto something...hmmm...I've got lots to ponder!

@Sherdil:

How does this 25 Oz fabric breathe compared to the 21 Oz fabric of the 634S? Is the 25 Oz equally comfortable to wear in the summer like the 21 Oz in 634S? Thanks.

It doesn't breathe nearly as well.

And the 25oz are not washed, so you should expect a little shrinkage….

I picked up a pair of Nudies a few years back at the same time as a pair of LVC reissue 501s. I did the whole avoid washing too often thing on the 501s, but chucked the Nudies in the machine on a regular basis.

They turned out OK shortly before the seat wore through. But certainly stood up to abuse better than the Levis.

I'm in complete agreement with IJ about regular washing being better for the denim. And I prefer the softer fades it leads to.

Thx for your comments guys. Very much appreciated!

I think folks at Self Edge SF also recommend washing about every 2 months or just when needed.

^ Strongly backed!

[daynym]

Thx both of you! Will be on a concert next sunday and planning to wash em afterwards again. Combs didn't stay in place after the machine wash, but guess what, I don't give a feck about it. Looking very much forward the more intense vertical falling in the seat and thigh area.

[Sugar Mountain]

That's the spirit!

[daynym]

Special thx to Eli. I found a 25oz worthy knive to carry around

Enjoy

I'm guessing 18 months, which probably means 12 months real wear.  About 4 or 5 washes…

[Beatle]

really liking them

[Giles]

Thanks.  That's the magic of 25…

[daynym]

Holy tish. Those look sick! Any repairs so far?
This contrast looks from outa space.

[Giles]

I've had to re-sew the inner bottom seams of the back pockets because I always bust those.  I've re-chain stitched the hem once and I'll do it again now - and so far that's it.

Yep, the contrast is unreal…..Perhaps even a bit more contrasty in rea; life....
