16oz Slubby Denim

[Alex]

We are, but we haven’t ordered them just yet, so will be a few months out.

[Giles]

The Type II's (IHJ-507-SLB) are ready to ship to us from Japan…....

[bbrtns]

Any word on the 888 pants?

[Giles]

As soon as we know, you will…..

[John Galt]

IH Team - any ETA for the IHJ-507-SLB Type II Jacket?  Thanks!

[Alex]

They’re on the way to the UK but shipments are very delayed, so no firm ETD just yet

[Nik]

Excited to see the slub type 2, hope those delays aren't too long

[ROman]

Not that I need any more denim in my life, I am looking forward to the Type 2 jacket, and after observing the wear on @Giles slubby jeans recently, I will go for the 888's when they arrive. I could also dream about the 1955 in slubby.

@ROman:

I could also dream about the 1955 in slubby.

The great thing about dreams is that some come true

Any guesstimates when the slubby 888s are going to drop?

Thanks in advance

@BD81 hopefully soon but there are no further updates.  As soon as we have any word, we will update the threads

Is this just the regular indigo or is there an OD one too?

[Kasi]

OD will be coming soon

Am I right @Giles

[Giles]

We are releasing an OD Type III later this year, and then probably OD versions of all the rest…..

I'm getting some bright blue highlights on my combs. I'm not gonna spoil them right now.

Looking great, Mike.  I just got the slubby type ii and am really digging the fabric, might push me into buying some pants

Since there have been many more slub IH jeans out in the world since the original 666's, are there any more reports of stretch measurements since post 428 back in Oct 21?  It seems to be some disagreement over more or less stretch compared to the 21oz. fabric.  It does seem 1" is a reasonable estimate so far. Fingers crossed I ordered the right tag / actual waist.

I’ve worn 2 different pairs of these so far. I got 2” of stretch on the sample 777 pair with no back patch. And about 1.3” on the Pronto Collabs with the back patch that’s sewn in. The 16oz Slubs have some stretch in them for sure. Personally I think they stretch more than the 21oz in the waist, but I’ve seen other who’ve gotten 2” of stretch in the 21oz. Hope this helps.

That is helpful, thanks. My preferred final waist is somewhere around 35.5-36 and my options were actual waist measurements of 34.2 and 34.9 so I went with the larger of the two (tag 35).  I wanted the smaller thighs of the skinnier waisted tag 34s but was really concerned they'd never really be comfortable needing at least ~1.5" stretch in the waist. I guess we'll see how they fit in a couple of days.
