IH-888S-SLB - 16oz Slubby Selvedge Denim Relaxed Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

Looking forward to getting my stacked pair now that I am back from a long holiday. Might be best to wait a couple weeks for the anniversary party though and get them then since I did manage to gain a couple inches or so in the waist while away.

@Nkwkfld welcome back mate, hope you had a great time! You are welcome whenever man…

[Nik]

Thanks @AdamC I'll be along soon will be cool to see all the updates to the space hope you're all well too

Great as always to visit IHUK, thanks @Graham and hope you guys enjoyed the Hideout doughnuts.
Sized up to 32 in these for the extra pounds I picked up on holiday so they feel very comfortable. Love how the front pocket fabric has the slub running horizontally. The inside of the fabric is so much darker than other IH denim and shows all the irregularity. I can kind of understand why Haraki was less into doing this denim as it is so different from the 21oz. But I am glad he did. It feels softer then other slub jeans I've had from other brands, and as always the 888 cut feels great.

Three weeks of wear and one wash in, already seeing some light blues coming through. These are fun.

Please keep us updated with pics when it gets noticeable. I just bought a pair and I'm excited to see how they will look.

All the pictures look amazing, everyone seems to agree that they are the most suited for warm weather, and since spring is slowly coming, I wonder when will be the restock?

I got mine last March, been in my wearing rotation ever since. In the last few months, I've been wearing them a lot. They are a great fit, for us slightly older chaps, and so comfy.

@Giles hey so I have been eyeing these for a while now. I'm a 888 loyalist now and love my 21 oz but South Carolina heat has prevented me from wearing them as much. Can you elaborate on what makes these better for hot weather?

[Giles]

The slubby denim is the most breathable denim we make.

[Oaktavia]

@rakinhoq7 meaning out of all of the denim they make, the slubby is the easiest to wear in warm weather, but not necessarily great to wear when it is hot out. The jeans are not designed for heat, but they are not as hot/swampy in the summer compared to the other heavyweight varieties. In my opinion, all jeans are too hot to wear when it's over 80/85F and a deal breaker in high humidity. Other folks disagree, but I break out my easy shorts when its too humid or hot for me.

Getting warmer and warmer. Any update on the restock?

@karol these are on our list of things we want to re-run, but nothing in production at present

@AdamJ Thanks!
Then I guess this summer I will stick to the IH-725-KHA and the IH-729-KHA

[Karol]
