Soooo I've been wearing these RAW over the weekend as I couldn't be wait to wash/dry etc etc and tbh after the first few hours I got used to them breaking in, having said that they're not exactly easy to sit in.

Hey folks,

So I've just got myself a pair of the IH-555-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Jeans - Indigo.

To say they are stiff and 'ball ache' is an understatement BUT that denim feels amazing.

Quick question is it recommended to wash these first before wearing in order to break them in OR just wear them raw and let them break in.

Also does washing them upfront effect the colour and or future fades?

thanks

in advance

Hey folks the chain stitch run-off at the bottom of my shirt has started to unravel if that makes sense, if I cut it will the seam come apart?  Also where do you cut it from safely?

Cheers guys, I've always worm mine with a T-shirt underneath and sometimes as a layer under a heavy black leather racer jacket if the weather is really cold.

So I've had this for about 6ish months now and love it, quick question in the cooler months does anyone wear this with a lighter cotton shirt underneath?  I've not ready to wear it under a coat juuuust yet?

Right been wearing this for a few hours as a shirt over a simple t-shirt and under a coat.  Bloody stiff and feels good, noticed that the bottom of the shirt has started to curl up on one side, how do I stop this?

@Paul9221:

On Neph's point about the buttons pulling, my chest button pulls a bit with a medium but a large is far too roomy, and since I don't plan on buttoning these up, I don't mind.  I'm a short-armed broad-chested dude, so my case is slightly complicated

Same short armed and broad chested, buttons aren’t pulling no. Just want to wear it out now but there’s bloody heavy rain for the next 2 days.

Ok finally gotta chance to try it on its a beast!!!  Fit is a touch snug across the back, will this shirt loosen up like jeans do as it wears in and softens up? I fear exchanging for the next size up will make the arms too long.

I know what you mean, but these are kinda expensive watch straps and I love love sneaks clean.  It's cool I just roll jeans up about an inch or 2 above the sneaker!!! Win win

Cheers folks….Will replace the leather strapped watch with a stainless steel one for now then.

Ok so it's arrived and well it's um kinda "stiff"!!!!!  Will need to try it on properly over a t shirt.  Quality and stitching is immense.

For first few wears is it ok the wear over a white t shirt oh and will the colour rub off on a leather watch strap!!!

Just been eyeing up these https://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/pihxhs.html  anyone have fade pics of these??

Hi all,

Just joined this forum and just taken my first step into 'proper selvage denim' and purchased the:

Couple of quick questions:

How do you get the 'high contrast' fades and how long does this take?
I've seen a few pics on here of people wearing the shirt with much lighter colour bottoms, does the dye from  the inside of the shirt run off into clothes?
