IH-888S-SB - 21oz Non-Fade Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut - SpBlack

[motojobobo]

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.

@Handlebars:

I looked through the older product posts and couldn't find any - …has there been a selvedge 21oz 888 in fades-to-grey superblack?

No!

SMALL RESTOCK

I take it there's no 30 in that restock or already gone?  I was shocked when I received the restock email since I was on the lookout already.

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.

Thanks for the welcome Graham.

Will definitely have to pick these up then.

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]

Nope. They won’t be as soft as the 21oz. I found that after around 5 years and countless machine washes/lots of daily wear they got softer, but the superblack always has a bit of stiffness to it.

@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?

[sabergirl]

I’ve not had a pair of sbg bottoms—but I have a type III that has gotten a bit softer and more molded to my body. It isn’t like 21oz. In my experience, nothing is quite like the flagship denim. The XHS is the one that undergoes the biggest transition. Eventually the 25oz. denim gets crazy soft.

RESTOCK

First time out in those. It’s a real difference in the fabric hand compared to the indigo versions. This one is a bit less slick but that mate vibe it gives is just awesome in its own rights.

i have 777 xhs size 32 and 555 xhs size 31, both have "33" in waist. should i go with it in this 888?

[TinMan]

What is the consensus on current stock, do these run a little slimmer vs standard 888s? Thank you, I apologize in advance if the is has already been addressed.

[TinMan]

After much help from IHUK I went with size 35

[akohut]

Are these planned to restock anytime soon?
