Not many that I know of. I have a bag made out if it that has seen daily use for two years, I’ll take some pics and post here tomorrow (it’s 0100 in Norway).
You’re the real MVP, Neph.

Here’s the bag. It’s made of the standard 21oz Super Black denim. I’ve had it for 2-3 years and it sees constant use. I’m not gentle with it either so it goes everywhere. It got a thorough hand wash about 6 months ago.
The thing to notice is that despite being an item which has some high wear points and despite it taking a kicking, it doesn’t get high contrast fading. It fades in a much more uniform fashion. This is the reactive dye doing its job.
If you compare it the product pics in the webshop (https://www.ironheart.co.uk/cutnsewn/ihe-19.html) you’ll see it has lost some of its initial inky blackness. Another thing with this denim, it’s pretty stiff when new but softens beautifully.
Personally I really like how this denim ages and hope to get either a jacket or vest made of it one day.

I think you may have convinced me! Thank you for the in depth write-up and pictures.

I got these on today and holy wow are they amazing! Soft, supple, and amazingly comfortable right away. They definitely make me realize just how different the fabric is between these and the UHRs! I can’t believe how breathable they are.

The best I can do picture-wise for now.

They look like a really good fit @Jordanxbuffer You wear your jeans hard if I remember correctly. I´m excited to see these down the line.

Thanks! Yes I do, very hard. I’m focusing on my DWC pair right now but these will be put to work when I feel like living my Modern Life is War (black jeans, black shirt, black shoes) life.

Boom… @motojobobo with the outfit and the view. Very nice fit on the 888's

Thank you @neph93 . My 888s are way more comfortable than when they started off late november. Probably at 15 wear days by now. They are softening nicely.

No!

Hello all,
Will these stretch out 1 inch in the waist? They still have tag size 35 available in stock which measures to be 34.5 prior to wear. My jeans are usually in between 35 to 35.5, just depends on the rise for me.
Thomas01's 35s stretched to 36, that is 1.5", seems a lot.
Thanks!

Hi @Luis and welcome to the forum!
The 888s-SB denim has been one washed so there will indeed be approximately one inch of stretch in the waist with wear. As you can appreciate, it is not an exact science and it is effectively stretching back out to the pre wash size and also depends on the amount of pressure they are put under with wear.
Sounds like the tag 34 measuring 34.5" is right in the zone for you, they are fantastic jeans and I am gutted I missed out on them in my size.

I've been wearing mine for a while now and they're still super stiff… Will these ever soften up as much as the regular (indigo) 888S-21?
-
@sabergirl Thanks for the reply. I was afraid this was going to be the case.
How about the 888-21SBG? Will that be as soft as the indigo 888-21?
