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

@Matt thanks man, they are so much different than any other IH jeans I own. But they are all unique so that's not saying a whole lot...I guess it is the depth of darkness that is so neat to me. If I pass my hand downward to brush my thigh, you can see fading but doing the opposite makes it look black as space. Similar to how velvet looks when you pass it one way or the other with your hand.

@Oaktavia I find it so satisfying how well this denim matches your blackout sleeve!
I have to admit, I've been seeking out more black and dark indigo since I've blacked the arm out. Still haven't had a warm season yet so I'm looking forward to tank tops and overalls...

They look amazing @Oaktavia dig them man

The duty of mb fades falls on you @Oaktavia dude. These are looking exceptionally good in the time you’ve been wearing them!
Heck yeah Rox! I will carry this MB torch as far as I can run with it. I have been doing some home improvement projects, such as installing flooring, painting and gardening that contribute to the fades. I'm feeling pretty good about them so far.

@Oaktavia Crazy how quickly you've broken those in and how rad they're looking already!
They are fascinating jeans. Like velvet.

Haha thanks, jeans and @Oaktavia . I don’t mind my weight, just wish I would’ve sized up in the MB

@sabergirl maybe the ol' trusty pants stretcher will do you a favor.

Have you ever used that thing on the thigh, @Oaktavia ? This is my problem-area. Waist is never an issue.
Hmm...I bet it would work with some fanegeling

@sabergirl I'm looking around the house for the pants stretcher to try it out on thighs. Can't seem to find it...I'll keep looking

@Oaktavia I've been thinking about this and I don't know if a stretcher used on the thighs is a good idea. When you use the stretcher on the waist the fabric is one strip that is continuous around the waist of the pant and the weak point would be where it buttons.
The stretcher on the thighs would be exerting force on two sewn seams and may put pressure where it's not meant to be put. I have faith in the skill and craftsmanship of the jeans, but I do worry that the pant isn't designed for that kind of strain in that area.
Hopefully it makes sense.

Quite a while ago I remember someone here dealing with a tight thigh fit & washing/drying their denim. You know.. everything may be a little loose but the thighs could be a problem with shrink.
Anyhow - their solution was inflating a couple of those rubber balls you used to have on the playground back in grade school. The idea was to put them in the thighs after a wash/still wet & pumping them up.
