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

Stoked, @Memphisakers! They look a helluva a lot better on you than they did me! Looks like you got a fair amount of stretch on that waist, too! Glad everything worked out, my dude.

@Memphisakers like I have said before, I'm stoked another member found a pair out there. Are you planning on wearing them as your daily drivers? I am just now seeing noticeable fading on my pair at 105 wears. Have you noticed the "velvety" nature to the warp? When I swipe my hand downwards, I see the fade progress, but when I swipe my hand upwards, towards the waist, the fades nearly disappear and turn black again. It's strange and unlike other IH denim I have tried out.

It's the single-most unique IH fabric I've come across. Nothing else really compares, and even though it shares some of the same treatment of the standard OD, it's totally distinct.

Indigo hues, smokey grays, little pops of burgundy, and black as night. Just badass.

I'd kill for a re-run in the 634, but alas...

Couldn’t agree more

@Oaktavia I am really grateful to have found a pair!! I’m gonna try to use those as my primary black pair and the 666 XHS I got from Pal as my primary indigo pair all winter. So more or less my daily drivers. I did notice the velvety nature of the fabric!! It is VERY cool!!! I like to draw pictures in it If you look at the inner thigh area in top picture in my last post, it almost looks like wool… Crazy neppy. I’ve also noticed the areas that usually fade first are kinda slick looking like well worn SBG. Very unique fabric for sure.

@nonikes I appreciate it bro… Very grateful to have them!! I’m gonna beat um up

@nonikes yeah man I’m getting somewhere with them now! Put them on as soon as I got home from work today… they feel comfy like any other IH jeans I own now. Thanks @Mizmazzle worked like a charm

I spent a lot of time hiding from the heat indoors with air conditioning. I feel like these are the slowest and must stubborn jeans IH has out. Borderline non-fading...almost. Wearing them today at 123 wears.

[Oaktavia]

I'll eat my words. This denim does fade

[sabergirl]

Oh hell yeah. That’s it, I’ve gotta get these out the closet

[Oaktavia]

@sabergirl hell yeah...the fades are like velvet

[Karol]

[Oaktavia]

Please, please, great denim wizard!

@Karol

I had to peel myself off the couch to take these. I last wore these to a memorial service last Saturday. They are the softest XHS version I've tried. 127 wear days.

Bonus: XHS at only 40 wears. MB are the most stubborn pair I've ever tried to fade.
