IH-666-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Slim Straight Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Fantastic . These are on my list by crom . I have a pair of Samurais in 25oz , can anyone comment on the difference between them and these IH's in 25oz ?
Thank you

The 25oz Sammies feel lighter, and slubbier. Iron Hearts start out sleeker and more rigid, but they soften up ridiculously with wear. If you give IHs the wear they deserve, they become as soft as pajamas. I think the IHs are stronger and more durable, as well.
Both denims are really nice, and have their place. I think you can probably tell which one I prefer, though.

Great thanks SeanO. My 634s are very soft , so I see what you mean .

My 666 XHSs after nearly 6 months and numerous (cold) washes.

6 months tomorrow! A bit of contrast developing on the thighs - more on my left one than my right, but not as much as the pic suggests!

Seul, those look great.

My fist IH item, ordered from Rodeo Bros. on Rakuten.
Freebies and a hand written note:
Fit pics:
Sz 34
Waist: 34.5
Thigh: 12
Knee: 18.5
Ankle: 8.5These are my initial measurements. I just did a hot soak this morning, and they are hang-drying on my balcony waiting for me to get off work.
Post soak fit pics and measurements coming later!

They'll shrink a little, but they also stretch if need be. Enjoy the ride, mate.
Maybe my "hot soak" wasn't neither hot enough nor long enough. I just came home from work to nice, crunchy, dry jeans with barely shrank fractions of an inch. Re-soaking NOW in hotter water, and I'll let them marinate for a little longer time.
-
One huge thing I did notice immediately though, was that the fit is not really "slim" on me, let alone "super slim". I took the advice I saw echoed here so many times and sized for my thighs since that area isn't prone to stretching so much. Maybe my numbers were off though. Fingers still crossed though! I'm hoping for a denim miracle!

25 oz doesn't shrink much. Good thing you got them so cheap in case you decide to flip them.
