IH-777S-21mb - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Tapered Cut Jeans – Mad Black

[Paul9221]

I'm waiting on the 888 cut but since it's the same fabric…since these have been overdyed twice, does that mean that they shouldn't shrink with a wash?

@RoxRocks86:

I’m going to name them the mbmf’s

May have to steal that…...

@Paul9221 We have not officially done a shrink test but I would suspect your assumption is correct. These won't shrink and you'll probs get 1" or so stretch in the waist as usual

Excellent!  That makes sizing much simpler.  Thx!

In theory how will these differ from regular OD blacks?

@RoxRocks86 MBMF'rs is right!!!!  I'm in…fades on these are going to be epic 2-3 years down the road.

This is all we know:

"overdyed twice using two different black dyes and two different methods - resulting in a very black finish that will fade very slowly. "

Accurate answer in a few months

No one knows and if they do they aren’t telling. It is overdyed twice so will be mo’ black. The regular OD had a lovely three dimensions fading pattern, so an extra layer of black may make that (even) more interesting.

So that isn’t a theory but a hypothesis. Now we need to put it to the test.

@neph93 Good thing they're coming in the 888 cut for you soon then

Don’t I know it… although the IH-555-XHSbb are also speaking to me. The measurements on those look doable for me.

Here are a couple of pics of the MBMF's (thanks @RoxRocks86 ) and the "normal" overdyed.  Won't tell you how they will fade, but gives you a comparison out-of-the-box…

@Giles here's the outdoor photo Alex had taken when the FW20 was first announced. It shows how "Mad" the black is in a better light.

And there was me and @AdamJ  trying to be profeshnial (sic)…...

@jordanscollected you're hired!!

This is what the forum is for!!! happy to help Gents… for free

Any thoughts on a 555 fit? Also I know it's top secret but will these fade or merely wear out (are they sulfur dyed?).

EDIT: somehow missed the 'won't tell you how they will fade' you can ignore this message!

[Giles]

What we made in which fabric/due combo this fall was dictated by retailer demand.  The MBMF's were not particularly popular with retailers, we had to scale back, the 555 in MB was one of the casualties. It may happen in the future, but it completely depends on how the MBMF as a whole sells this Winter/Spring…

[Max Power]

Damn, this is very tempting and has great measurements.

[RoxRocks86]

The MBMF’s have touched down! & these are some seriously badass mf’ers to say the least. They practically look like a pair of black denim with a very dark indigo tinge. The previous pics posted really depict how they are in real life - very VERY dark compared to the standard OD that we know and love. They have the same OD smoothness and that same great richness in color, albeit something completely different but with a sense of familiarity.

Some quick fit pics with the shadows brought up a tad to show some detail.

Will be sending these to Indigo Proof for waist alterations as they easily slip off fully buttoned, hemming, aaand debating on full leg tapering or just leaving it as it. Gonna start 2021 with these MBMF
