IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo

[Giles]

I made a really silly mistake yesterday.  I cut a pair of IH-666-XHS waist size 33" to 28".  They should have been cut to 29 and hemmed to 28. FECK.

So anyone want a pair of 25oz shorts or capri's?

If so, drop me a PM….

autsch, out of curiosity how often did that happen in the last years?…

[Giles]

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…..

[rocket]

yeah halfway through, doesn't help….. I see the cut cut, wait, it was 28, right?, feck feck.... but happens and not a bad record for you, Matt's written on a different page  and not sure if you should let Jill cut any thing at all....

[Giles]

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......

Did H hold that over your head G?  Give you shit for it here and there?

Nope, never even mentioned it…..Other than what I owed him....

What a classy guy

My 36's are tight at the moment, so I could not fit in 33's anymore. Too bad because I could have bought those from you, as I like my jeans hemmed short… and show off my cowboy boots!

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"

25oz love

@DrBabyhorse they will stretch a lot! My 634XHS stretched two inches in the waist.

[DrBabyhorse]

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.

a little something for my iron heart fam.

Not the nicest pair out there by far, but they're mine, and I am still in love with 'm… Working in these is a fucking PRIVILEGE.

Nearing 3 years (November 03 2k11)...

They are beautiful. I just started wearing mine. 25oz is the only denim I will be in for the foreseeable future.

Nice job on the 666 25oz Seul

The color and contrast on those is amazing

Wish I could be a slow fader…they just look better than a fast fade...well done
