IH-8301S - SBG "Super Black Fade-To-Gray" Denim - Slim Cut
-
That I did @Cfk87 ! I was worried the 8301 would be pretty baggy on me with a super low rise, but the rise is actually taller than my 634s, with a slightly larger thigh and nearly perfect taper. I wear pull on boots almost everyday, and it always bummed me out that my 555-03 didn't work with them - luckily these are perfect for engineers and ropers

Does anyone know if IH would ever release a lighter-weight SBG in a similar cut? Say, a 555, 777, or 301?
I think a 14- or even 18-oz SBG slim cut would be really interesting…
-
There is a 16oz SBG in the double front logger jeans, but doubtful we were ever see a lightweight SBG in a slim fit.
The 777-SBG is a wonderful slim fit as is the 555-03 if you want something more slim than the 8301, and the 21oz SBG is very comfortable, even given its heft.

Thanks a lot! I will check out the 555-03.
How much roomier (and where?) is the 8301 compared to the 555? I don't see the 301 listed on the fit page.
Appreciate the help! I am a very happy owner of 633SII which I have in a 31 - I assume the 555-03 would be a similar size. is that correct?
-
And the 8301 is quite roomy in the top block and offers a much lower rise, but a more straight style cut from knee to hem as opposed to the 555-03 which tapers aggressively from the thigh to the hem

I love these jeans - perhaps the most favorite pair I have ever owned

Coming along nicely Adam and they look great with those Redwings.

Thanks Bryan - they may actually be my most faded pair of jeans lol [emoji23]
How are your 777-OD coming along?

Little soak + wash protocol this week for my 8301s.
These have been worn pretty regularly over the last 4.5 months and only showing moderate fades.
Digging these, although they are getting a little loose on me.

@Appfaff, I’m thinking about copping these and sizing down to a 34. I tried them on at self edge, and it may take me a month of wear to get used to them. That being said, it sounds like they stretch a bunch. My 633s-OD I love, but regret not sizing 34, as they’ve stretched out a ton. I know these are a bit slimmer cut, which worries me about the down sizing, even though it appears these run big and are stretchers. I’ve been debating on these and the IHxVS777S-21, but leaning 8301, did you ever get a pair of the Vaters for comparison? Thanks, man!
PS I hope life is going well

Hey man, I think that is the right way to do. When I bought mine I thought they would be snugger than they were, (although the chart online SE online is way off) and they stretch like crazy. It took a few weeks but then the waist and top block especially were super baggy.
I do not have the Vaters but I have the new 777 14oz. I have a soft spot for the 301 since it is a “slim cut I can life in” - meaning the loose top block (which a lot of people hate) means I can tuck in shirts, bend down and squat to get my kids, all while having a slim-ish leg.
My pair is 38 and stretches about 1.5” after every wash within a few days. I have contemplated getting the 36s as well…
Good luck!

Thanks man, that’s the validation I was looking for. You the best, Homie. Gonna go cop them today.

You will love then JSJ - if hemmed right, you get that slim straight look a lot of people desire from the 666 cut, but with added mobility since the thigh is generous.

Dude, such a great fit.
Makes me need to consider using some store credit towards a new pair…

I’ll post some good ones once I get them back from being hemmed.
