        @KEVINSTEED - did the best I could with the photos. You're right though, their absolute beauty and uniqueness comes across in real life better still.

        @Flash - yeah, rather on the tight side, true. I own another pair of the same model, same size, but worn in by me from new, they are a trifle wider. But they are comfy enough.

        @Giles - not quite sure I get the jibe about the three Adam's apples, but perhaps I don't need to…....

          Got my 470 Black Fade to Grey back from the talented crew at Indigo Proof ( @tmadd ) after getting a bit chopped off and hemmed.

          I gave them a machine wash and machine dry before sending off and the size went down a bit even from
          When new (they are factory one washed anyways).

          Very happy with the silhouette now and these will be a great black jean option for the warmer months ahead. I'm
          Interested in seeing how these fade compared to IH SBG…

          Current texture:

          Definitely a more washed out black color even when compared to a few weeks of wear prior

            Gave the SC470 black fade to grey another wash.. These lose dye quickly, but still have a more vintage fade pattern when compared to the IH SBG which is usually super sharp in the examples I have seen. I'm guessing that's because of the light weight nature of the SC version… Anyways, here are pre-wash pics.. They are in the dryer now (yes, I'm not overly careful with my gear... Most of the time)

            Cheers,

            Adam

                          Perfect fit, and looks spot on with the white (wheat?) jeans! Wish I could pull off that look

                              Thanks dude!  Im very happy with the way this one fits me. It's the 1962 model and the denim is pretty awesome.  It's a lot longer than I anticipated, which is a good thing!

                              You could pull off wheat jeans!  The new 666 pique would be a great option when they hit!

                                  Your SC41470 are looking nice, Appfaff! I didn't know you had a pair, too. I bought mine a couple of months ago at Hinoya (Rakuten). After several soaks/washes the top botton developed some rust. I really like its look now!


                                  The patch.


                                  Grey peaking through.


                                  Hidden rivets.


                                  Obligatory.


                                  …and some roping.

                                  All in all it's a great lightweight pair of black-fades-to-grey jeans for a great price. And they do fade fast. What I'm not a fan of is the sulphur smell which is still slightly noticeable even after three soaks and three washes. And taller guys beware: they do come with a short inseam in sizes up to 36. Only tag 38 has a longer inseam of ~35,5 inches.

                                    Jeans are looking good @Dion , I've been thinking about getting a pair of black jeans lately and they're on my list.
                                    Wish they had a cut that wasn't quite as slim in the black denim, the thigh measurements might rule them out for me.

                                      Thanks, Broark! I just measured the thigh the IH way of my tag 38 and it is ~ 13,38 inches (34 cm). I can say that their top block is very generous. I just looked them up at Self Edge and their measurements are spot on.

                                        looking good @Dion - I agree that they are great jeans. Sadly, mine are too big now, so they are reserves for my "work" jeans… they see the washer and dryer a lot of tighten them up, and mine are pretty much grey now.  I'll post some pics coming up soon.

                                            Just got my first pair of SC, a set of Okinawa, one wash, courtesy of Self Edge. I love the cut, which is very comfy on my big thighs. Can't say the 50% sugarcane feels any different from other denims for now.
