IH-888-XHSMB - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut - Mad Black

I’m also obsessive/compulsive but I’m trying to relax as a few things have convinced me that it really is a waste of energy. As for weight, I’m at the other apex of that swinging pendulum, so will most likely wait until February when I have that issue under control.

I bought a size 40 pair of these Mad Black jeans right away when they first came out. I noticed that the waist measurement was only 38.2 inches, but I was not concerned, as I have a heavy duty waist expander that works quite well on my Iron Heart jeans. I soaked the new jeans in cold water before using the expander. I was able to stretch the waist more than 2.5 inches wider. These do seem to be softer than my other 25oz IH jeans. I would not describe them as rigid, nor will they stand up on their own. This dark color is currently my most favorite in my IH collection.

The overdying is quite a rigorous process and takes a lot of the stiffness out of the material. The 21oz OD is also much softer and more pliable than the standard version.

Jeans look fab @sabergirl. That is all round awesome outfit though.

I though these would be much more popular for some reason. Was also looking forward to seeing way more pics of them.

While not the 888 cut I feel like this might be the best spot to show these off!
Mad black is definitely a good bit darker than regular OD. They feel heavier than regular 25oz, they also feel surprisingly smooth. Years ago I had picked up a pair of the 25oz 634OD and ended sending the back… I’ve regretted not keeping them, but couldn’t make them work…These definitely check that box.
Can’t wait to wear them heavy this winter… I’m Really glad I got them. It’s dark out now, but I’ll get a few pictures compare regular OD to Mad black.

Any Evo pics ? @kkibbey23 or @sabergirl

Hell yeah!! They look good I need to get some pics of mine. I’ve been alternating between my IB and these

Thanks man i love these bad boys ! I have been rotating these and the og xhs. Bought these ones almost a year ago, got the og in Sept. I find the MB to be slow faders. 0 soaks 0 washes so far. Like sabergirl said it's very difficult to capture the true MB color
-
Has anyone machine washed these yet? Wondering if they will marble
-
It's crazy how slow these fade compared to the og xhs. Only reason i am considering washing them is that I have some unidentified white spots on the bottom of the one leg. I'm going to try wiping it off with a wet cloth first, could be salt from the great white northern winter.
