IH-888S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise SBG

[trivsdotcom]

Just nabbed a pair of these - my first 888s actually - and after a few days of rocking them around the house I know where I want them hemmed to.

Haven't washed them yet - but was wondering if I could skirt around the premature wash if anyone here had any experience with how much they lost in the inseam afterwards? I expect it would be pretty minimal and had planned to leave an extra half inch just to be safe.

I'm not THAT against washing or anything but just being lazy

@trivsdotcom On the product pages it states: "Sanforized and one-washed - little to no shrinkage to be expected"

Hope this helps…

I'm all for leaving an extra .5 inch,but also hot soak/wash to get the shrink out. Don't be lazy!

It’s a long shot, but if you’re a 29 or 34 theyre still up on https://rivetandhide.com/products/ih-888s-sbg-relaxed-tapered-selvedge-jeans-superblack.html

Won't be for a few months I am afraid.  Covid has had some significant long-term effects on the industry in Japan, many foreign workers who worked in the mills and factories were sent home, and many of them have decided not to return…..

So everything is a juggling act for us at the moment....We do A, we cant do B or C, we do C, we cant do D or E etc etc etc....

Amazing start!

[northeastwear]

This is def my next pair…..following along in hopes of some restock updates eventually! (I'm a 32, so no luck at Rivet and Hide right now).

[hgering27]

Is there any chance these may restock anytime soon?

[Alex]

Not super soon, but they are in the works

Just got these black beauties back from their hem job in Gosport. Love starting off a new pair of jeans!

[Matt]

@Mizmazzle they look awesome. 🥷

[Mizmazzle]

Thanks @Matt why is it so satisfying watching our jeans evolve? Stoked for some rock and roll fades!

[Matt]

I have too many pairs and don’t work very hard so it takes me forever. It’s like I just wake up one day and they’re faded.

[Mizmazzle]

I tend to give one pair the majority of my focus. Then rotate to another pair taking focus for a few months. Same as you, I don’t work very hard physically. If only mental fatigue translated to sweet fades. I’d be crushing it!!

[Bums_Fan]

Those are a great fit @Mizmazzle . I need to wear mine more. Like you and @matt I don't wear my IH gear physically hard enough and too many pairs in the rotation to expect any kind of fades in short order.
