IH-777S-18 - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

@october-rust Thanks! The measurements on this pair are super comfortable for me, I was glad the waist and hem were smaller than a usual 34 but plenty of room in the hip. A bit different from my 14oz black/blacks, which are a tad slimmer, but it makes for a good 'rockstar fit', which works well in black I think.

@RoxRocks86 Thanks! I'm going to be hard pressed to rotate anything else, even my new-ish 142bb! How are yours coming along?
They’re coming along slowly. Used for more casual wear than anything else, so just some whiskers and combs atm
-
@WhiskeySandwich yours are on the way to greatness, btw
-
225 wear days, 3 washes and 1 soak

-
@RoxRocks86 thanks, still a lot off live in this pair
-
More 18oz.... This denim is just nice
-
Full shoot on these bad boy ....
-
About 2+ months of wear, pre-wash pics. Post-wash will follow after they’re dry and get their mojo back in a couple days. Love this denim. Even in the summer!
-
@WhiskeySandwich The 18oz vintage is my favourite IH denim and can wear it year round. Jeans are starting to look really good!
-
Thanks man! Yeah it’s super versatile. I wear these 5-6 days per week. Kinda gross I guess, but I’ve been putting off the wash because I love how soft they get in the shiny areas and didn’t want to lose that. It was 90+ and super humid though and I was pretty funky after a walk around the neighborhood yesterday. Also riding the bike in em, they get plastered with bugs. Figured they were due. Lol
-
The wash toned down the shine a bit in exchange for some nice fuzzy, velvetiness. I’m surprised and pleased that they didn’t shrink, probably thanks to putting them on slightly damp. Didn’t think they could get any better after a wash but I love them even more now.

18’s looking awesome @WhiskeySandwich
-
@WhiskeySandwich that is amazing for around 2 months but now I remember my 18oz CPO lost indigo if you started at it hard enough. Awesome denim for sure.
-
@Oaktavia yeah man, it’s been hot lately and I just wear jeans nonstop for everything. Not a shorts guy, probably sweat did it lol. MD humidity.

MD humidity.
I lived in MD for 35 years of my life. Just recently moved across the river (literally less than a mile from the border) to WV. Where at in MD you living? I spent most of my time in Frederick.
-
@Oaktavia I wish I could make the commute from WV, love it there, just can’t stand the beltway. I’m in Calvert, next to the bay, but work up north. I can’t wait to get out of the rat race in central MD. I’m about as far as I can get away from it and still make the drive. I’m def more of a backwoods type dude. We get up your way every so often, I’ve got friends in Gerardstown.
-
@WhiskeySandwich oh nice man I have family in Prince Frederick and Lusby. And yeah don't miss the beltway area one bit.
