IH-666S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans - SBG

[T4920]

The time has come for a wash after an unfortunate incident with some tomato ketchup this morning…

To avoid marbling, I plan to wash inside-out at 30c on a low spin cycle.

Is there anything else I can do to reduce the risk of this? I don't normally baby my jeans but I've read that this SBG denim is prone to unpredictability when washing...

@T4920 Presoak the jeans inside out in the bath or shower (only need to get them throughly wet) before putting in the wash.  Additionally, I always wash my SBG or ducks with a no spin wash cycle.  They will come out of the wash dripping wet, but it is worth the hassle.  Lastly, do not turn them right side out until completely air dried.

@T4920 looks good for 70 days of wear

How long do you recommend soaking them for? And in warm or cold water?

Cold water and it really doesn't have to be long at all.  Soak long enough to get the jeans thoroughly saturated then transport them to the washing machine dripping wet.

Cheers! Let's see how this goes…

Amazed how much black these shed in the wash.

Pre-soaked, 30c wash, no spin.

Slight marbling, but all part of the wabi-sabi baby [emoji1365][emoji3590]

Roughly 100 days wear.

Excuse the shitty quality and the mess in the background, but I just wanted to acknowledge how much I love the 666 cut… They feel so roomy and unrestrictive, but somehow maintain such a sharp and fitted silhouette on my body type.

I wanted to try all of the IH cuts in time, but starting to think I shouldn't mess with a good thing....

I'd say these have officially faded to grey after 6 months and two washes.

Love the contrast between them and my new OD Lefty!

start beeing a sbg fan

@T4920 bro!! Looking sharp!! That new lefty OD is looking great with those SBGs. You are like future me haha. Soon as those new Lefty truckers drop I’ll be pairing it with my new 888 SBGs!!!

[T4920]

@Mizmazzle Awesome, did you get the 888s from the Filthy Gift thread?

You're gonna love the Lefty Trucker. It does fit extremely slim though, so size up if you're between sizes.

I'm 182cm and 81kg and you can see my fit pic on the product page. It fits like a glove but damnnn I couldn't have fit into an L (which is my normal IH size)

@T4920 i found a pair of 888s basically new on Grailed. They’re off in Gosport being hemmed at the moment. Can’t wait to get to work on them!

Good info on te lefty. By all accounts that batch was a slim one. Wonder how the next one comes out…

Hoping these will get a restock/rerun soon! Been calling my name lately and I can’t find a 34 anywhere

[Daniel San]

Lucky me , I have one on stock

[JunkPants]

Nice, dig that patch as well.

[Mizmazzle]

@Daniel-San have you been stashing these away? I ended up selling my 888s and found a pair of 666s at Snake Oil Provisions. They should hit the porch tomorrow!! My first pair of SBG and first pair of 666…quite psyched!!!

[Daniel San]

@Mizmazzle
yes , have more than enough in rotation at the moment.

[Mizmazzle]

@Daniel-San this is the challenge of this obsession!! Any thoughts on when you’ll start them?

[Daniel San]

guess when it’s getting to warm for XHS .
at the moment I have a 777XHS and a 777xhs ib in my winter rotation and wear them in daily change . And 10 or more pairs when I want something different
