      If it helps, I aimed for a waist 0.5" narrower than my currently well worn 888XHS.

      Blanket-line all the things!!!

        I know this is not the thread for the 555’s MB 25oz.

        But still these are the hype.. the fabric is insane out of this world.

        Thanks Giles for selling me the sample pair…

        Hope great time do come .. and this madness is over with pandemic crap.
        Even though willing to buy another pair but 888 isn’t my fit.

        Never knows what around the corner.. Iron Heart is known for dropping surprises I like them coming.

          Kasi how does the XHSmb feel compared to regular XHS or the ib?  Any noticeable difference in softness or texture?

          How do you think it will fade?  looking forward to seeing how this stuff looks with heavy wear.  looks hella stubborn

            these have more thickness and very stubborn but can feel the softness as they will go
            more softer..

            XHS goes soft after a soak or wash feels less thickness over time, they become a beauty

            IB is similar… unless your not doing soaks or wash at first.

            I can’t says anything about fading to early to says.. In my opinion I think hard work is required and effort.

              They don't feel as hard to touch as the XHS or XHSib. @AdamC certainly remarked on how comfortable they were when he donned them for fit pics!

              The devil is in the detail..

                As @AdamJ said, they feel softer from the off than the XHS or XHSib.  I didn't want to take them off!

                      I currently have two wearable pairs and that really is enough as they do not get anywhere near as much leg time as they deserve. It won't stop me from picking these up when they come back around. For once my will power lasted longer than the stock…

                          Yeah… it feels a bit like quitting smoking or stopping ahem "others things". One day at a time and any sense of achievement is eradicated by the sense of loss and emptiness  😉  😃

                              I think everyone needs one pair of black jeans. Maybe it's OD, maybe it's SBG, maybe it's BB, but black goes with practically everything and stands out in a sea of blue.

                              And maybe it's just me but while I see great blue denim fades regularly, a well-faded pair of black jeans with pops of grey really catches my attention.

                                No doubt about that. As stated I have two which renders a third pair really unnecessary, sadly.

                                    Yeah, that was more for Z.  You've been around long enough, R. I trust that you have a rainbow of denim by this point 😃

                                        Congrats to those who have picked up a pair of MBMF’s!!!!

                                        @Kasi:

                                        Maybe this Mad black 25oz will open the door for the other fits to come in the near future

                                        If these sell well, we will do other cuts in 25oz MBMF.

                                        EVERYONE pick up a pair!!!! We need more cuts!

                                          It seems to me like these sold pretty well. Although there were only a few pairs to begin with, so…
