IH-666S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Cut Jeans - SBG

[popvulture]

Yessss! Does the 21oz SBG stretch about the same amount as indigo 21oz? I've got pairs of regular and overdyed 21oz that are quite soft and have a good bit of give to them. Figure I should aim for my usual waist measurement in these but thought I'd double check.

The SBG will stretch, but it takes a bit more effort. Something about the sulphur dying seems to make them a bit tougher in that department. You'll end up in the same ballpark, but just like the OD stretches easier than the 21oz, this is a little harder than both.

Thanks, @neph93 ! I had noticed that black denim seems to be a little less forgiving, and the ODs are indeed the most. Pretty fascinating how something seemingly as small as the dye can make all that difference.

@giles have you tried these on yet? Curious what size you’d get — you’re usually my best ref for waist size. I’m torn btw 34 and 35.

I have not I am afraid.  I'm not really allowed into the office atm…...

[popvulture]

Makes sense, no worries — thank you!

Boom, got some. V psyched.

I know it says little to no shrinkage expected, but who's given the 21oz SBG a very hot wash?

After wearing these a few days I realize I should've gone a size down, but too late. They're not bad as is, but I wouldn't mind them shrinking up a little bit if it's possible.

[Giles]

I'm not sure what shrinkage will be, BUT be very careful with the SBG for the first few washes, probably the easiest of our denims to marble…..

[popvulture]

Ahhh yeah I've noticed that's pretty easy with black denim in general. Thanks for the reminder, been a while since I've washed a pair.

I do know that my 8301s shrunk when I hot soaked them before wearing and hemming. They might be unwashed though?

[popvulture]

Cool!

Yeah I'm wearing em again today and they're really not too loose. I'll prob just wear em for 6 mos and first wash will be maybe warmer than I normally do, just to maybe tighten them up a wee bit more than a cold wash.

After I have worn any IH Cut in the past years I wanted to go back to the roots to my first IH cut I’ve ever worn.
Also new to me the OGL Narrow Belt.

Please ignore the Corona Hair Cut

Great fit Thomas!! Looks great with the CPO, too.

Thanks @Appfaff ! I really like the combination with an CPO. That was one of the reasons I bought a Pair of the 666-SBG

[Oaktavia]

@thomas01 nice combo

[Appfaff]

I totally agree! If I’m wearing a “denim” shirt, it’s usually SBG or OD jeans to round it out

Is IH-666S-SBG essentially the 666 version of the 777 BS69xSOP420?

On the fence about which one to get…..

[Giles]

Essentially.  Same denim, different cut.
