Haha, I know what you mean, I usually want to buy a ________ and know that it is forever going to be the black or blue ________. If IH sold a slightly faded grey 888, I would buy that over a SBG, but they don't so I'll go with a SBG.
On the other hand, my experience with OD has taught me that the transition color is a beautiful thing, plus the process, the process itself is a wonderful gift that gives back a little each day. I'm working hard to fade the 888XHSib, and it's lovely to see the transition over time. But if you're on these forums, you already know what I'm talking about

A few of us have mentioned a desire for jeans (indigo specifically, in my case) that never fade, but I accept that it is a distinctly minority viewpoint.
-
I love the fading process with indigo denim, but I haven’t seen a pair of faded SBG’s that I like the looks of as much as I do a clean, nice pair of Superblacks. The OD and IB denim is a different story because the indigo adds color, making the fades much more interesting.

I enjoy the variety. I don’t own a Superblack pair but I wouldn’t mind if I felt the right cut was available in it.
-
I adore my superblacks now that they are over ten years old and finally soft. It was the crunchiest and heaviest denim ever for the first few years, though. If iron heart came out with a superblack with a softer hand, I would be overjoyed. Add stretch, and I would never wear anything else.

I don't like anything to stay too clean / perfect looking if I beat the hell out of it, so I don't mind some fading. But I hate when denim fades too quickly
-
My understanding is that the selvage version of the Superblack denim that was used on the 888 cut was much softer than the normal Superblack denim. I’d be more than fine with the selvage version replacing the original version, and I’d love a lighter weight option as well, something in the 14-16oz range. Not holding my breath, but I can dream, right?

That’s the nice thing about nearly all IH gear. Even when it isn’t indigo it ages beautifully. I have the IHE-19 in Superblack and it has had the shit kicked out of OT through everyday use over four years. It’s faded and aged wonderfully, although not in the same sense as indigo denim.

IH-888s-sbg being sampled atm….
This is great news. Is the production run likely to be this year or next?
-
That’s all good still got some life in my 888 NT’s left before I need a new work pair.

I’d love to see SBG after it has been subjected to your working environment.

Me to mate. Been wanting to fade a pair for ages

Give im a week, based on the Wabash CPO.
-
Flannel trousers (pants) for winter lounging. Could be worn with matching shirt for a completely overbuilt set of pajamas.
-
Traditional type III vest. Made of corduroy. Any colour. Preferably green.

I haven't posted here in a while because life has been crazy hectic and my internet time basically disappeared.
so I have a question/suggestion…
has there been a natural unbleached duck western shirt? I apologize if there has but I don't remember one. A CPO would be pretty awesome too.

@riffblaster:

Short answer is no (I think). There were natty canvas products knocking around in a summer collection a year or two ago. But not a shirt. It’s a really good idea.
@Pygmalion interesting… I’d definitely go for an IHV-02 style work vest in cord.
@dj the amount of people who have suggested this amazes me. Popular idea.
