IH-8301S - SBG "Super Black Fade-To-Gray" Denim - Slim Cut

[housekeys]

Thanks for the kind words guys! Been really enjoying these.

@telvs great first purchase! You will definitely love the sbg denim. They're a bit stubborn to start, but age beautifully.

After seeing the last news article, i had to get a pair of these. Got them in the mail today. Soaked for an hour, hung up for about 2 hours to drip dry and now i got them on under my uniform at work. Love the fit on these.

Been wearing these for about a month and a half. Had to soak em today to get the gross out of them.

My newest gets.  I needed some SBG and tried these on at Self Edge and had to get them.  Hemmed to 33".  Also, Frank says Hi.

Nice fit and sweet cat :-*!

[Fadez]

Little bit of love on these guys.

So these were suppose to make it to Selfedge for repairs back in February, but they never got there. 

Here are some snaps of how they are looking now (missed focus on the last one). I'm gonna have to give them a wash pretty soon and actually send them in for repairs this time. Still undecided on whether or not I am going to have the knees repaired or leave them as is.

[Fadez]

They look epic. Get them repaired. Keep those alive and rocking for as long as possible.

Will this be re made? I sort of like the fade this one gets!

[Fadez]

I don't think they've been stopped. You can pick them up at Self Edge.

These still don't have a exposed selvedge right?

Also, are these as soft as the regular 301s? I have a pair of those and they were hands down the most comfortable denim I have ever worn right out of the box.

Pretty sure these don't have the selvedge edge. If you want that try the 555-03, which is a better cut IMO. Not as soft as the regular denim, but they soften up pretty quickly.

[Fadez]

They do have exposed selvage. I bought mine no less than 6 months ago

As for the softness. They are definitely stiffer, which I like. But it's no where close to the 21oz indigo. Those are the softest ever

I have 2 pairs of the 555's - I prefer the 301s cut more.

Just ordered a pair of the 8301s from self edge. Thanks y'all!

[Fadez]

You won't be disappointed!!

[gazeboarder]

I also prefer the 555 cut over the 301 cut.  They are very similar but the 555 has a slighter longer rise with a slightly tighter top block in my opinion.  Both are great though and the SBG denim looks great.

[Evanblauw]

Picked up a lightly used pair of 301N, remembered how much I love Iron Heart- and coincidently needed a new pair of black jeans - so I snagged a 8301.

I forgot how stubborn 21oz is at first haha.

[Fadez]

Good looks. Give it a few hard weeks of wear and they'll soften up. Put up some fit pics too!

[Dion]

The 21 oz SBG and 21 oz Superblack are much stiffer than the usual 21 oz denim. I could easily make my Superblacks stand on their own when brand new. They do soften up quite well after some wear.

I picked these up from SE online back in December or January and have used them as a dress and evening jean.  Probably have a few dozen wears in on them and they are much softer than new.

This cut works well on my skinny ass, and I get a ton of compliments on it.

Took these pics a while back and forgot to post em.
