IH-888S-SLB - 16oz Slubby Selvedge Denim Relaxed Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
Mine arrived today……. (Fantastic hemming service and oh so speedy) Exceeded expectations, the slubbiness makes them look really rough but they are already quite soft, so they’re very comfortable.
Was quite surprised at how heavy they actually seem in hand.
I too like the patch, it’s at least different.Maybe the honeymoon period but these are strong candidates for my favourite jean, well so far this year anyway.

The slubby is quite unique! There's more of a difference than I was expecting. It's stunning to look at. Definitely stands as distinct item in the rotation, rather than just a slight variation (how I'd expect indigo/black to be).
The slubby "came out of the box" much more pliable/flexible than the others, though I have no idea what to expect after some wear. The listing says it's "incredibly soft" and it really does feel like it, even at 2oz heavier.
Some people might not lack the patch, it is different, but I really like it.
Damn, that is quite a big difference when you put them next to jeans with a regular weave. Good pics.
I only have a pair of the 21oz 888s from IH and I was shocked at how soft they were straight out of the bag. I think it must be an IH thing, other brands I've tried have been nowhere close even at much lighter weight denim.

Does anyone know why the waist measurement at Selfedge is an inch smaller than what’s on this thread? Was going to order from SelfEdge because it’s close but was a little concerned that the sizing is different. I really can’t see why it would be but just thought I’d check. Thanks
-
Self edge measures the waist differently. They should be from the same batch of jeans, so if you’re used to IHUK measurements go by those, or use self edge’s measuring guide to figure out your size.

I’ll do that. Thanks

Just ordered a pair of these today! First pair of Iron Hearts or raw denim in general.
-
@jmceachern great place to start!
-
Got mine today. They fit! This is the 4th pair of jeans delivered to me. I returned the first 3 because they didn’t fit. I wanted the iron hearts all along. Lesson learned.

I haven't worn jeans in a decade and have decided to switch and pick up this 'hobby'. For my regular rotation I've recently got the IH-888S-142 and IH-888S-142bb, and today just got the IH-888S-SLB, I might finish things off with IH-888D (when they restock).

Looks like we have the same rotation of jeans just that mine is in 666.

@jerkules those pictures may have convinced me. I’m thinking about the LHT too though when they come out. These measurements look great
-
Thanks guys!
@AdamC awesome would love to see how they’ll look a year from now. Giles 666 sample looks great.
@Choko there’s so much interest denim on the horizon. I’m super happy to have these slubs though, it’s nice to have something so textured. If you pull the trigger I doubt you’ll be disappointed!
