IH-888-XHSMB - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut - Mad Black

[jordanscollected]

thanks @Alex that's a great comparison pic.

"I'm overdyed black!" -regular OD's

"hold my beer" -Mad Black

a really cool concept that will generate intrigue here.

@Alex or @Giles will the XHSMB only be available in the 888 cut?

[Alex]

Yes, initially. But as it’s regular indigo MBed we may we’ll do it in other cuts

[alexswords]

@Alex got it, thank you. I'd be all over the XHSMB in a 555 or a 777. thanks again for the F/W 20 zoom meeting. it was a great way to see the new product.

I am 25oz fan and own 4 but I am not feeling this new color/concept  . Maybe a hit with some!

Could these have an easier break-in/stretch like the 21od since the description says twice overdyed?

[neph93]

Doubtful. Easier than the standard 25oz for sure. But the 21oz is a very easy break compared to them and the overdyed 21oz easier still. But no-one knows for sure so it will be exciting as always to find out.

I've also noticed that the 21oz SB denim takes a lot more effort to break in compared to the standard 21oz.  Not sure if that will carry over to 25oz.

True story. It doesn’t have the same amount of post weave processing as the indigo 21oz.

Wish this comes out in the 555’s fit

@Kasi Or at least the 777.

[Giles]

I'm afraid we got very little interest from retailers for this denim.  That determined what we decided to make…Sorry....

[Kasi]

That ok Giles… at least black, black coming in 25oz

777’s Nah I passed not for me, stick with 555’s

[Paul9221]

I've never understood the lack of interest in black denim. It looks great and it's practical.  I get that people want to fade things but a solid pair of black jeans is a must have in everyone's wardrobe.

[Kasi]

Definitely wouldn’t mind in my collection

This is the new denim I’m most excited about. I’m really glad that 888 is what’s being released.

Paul, these should get much crazier than just black over time I'm thinking but might take a LONG time.

You going to go for these also? I'm loving my IH-888S-SBG just a little worried these will be too similar.. debating on going with the XHSib instead.

[Paul9221]

I don't know what to expect from these. If they stay solid black, awesome. If they fade in unexpected ways, awesome   I'm definitely copping these!

I have a pair of 21oz SB that I mistakenly bought way too tight. It was the last one available. I stretched the waist 2 solid inches but even then, it's too tight for comfort.

I love the SBG!  But there's something about the 25oz…

The XHSib is an amazing fabric! It fades in this really great turquoise like bright blue.  I think that there's more interest in the XHSib than the XHSMB so if I had to choose, I'd go with the XHSMB.  If it doesn't do well, it might not be re-run.

I'm most excited about the brown duck, but that's been pushed out a bit

Still, this one's gonna be great!

Is the expectation that the blue will eventually peak through?
