      They're looking pretty good though @RoxRocks86, despite the less-than-satisfactory alteration job. And lots of evo after 1 week! I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on this pair. It tends to be fairly quiet around here!

        Thanks @Lowlander yeah kinda noticed this thread and the other 142bb threads were dead as well. This denim is great so hope this denim stays. Been on a black 14oz kick since summer w/14oz IB’s, 14oz MB’s, and now these to complete the trifecta.

        When it comes to black denim in particular I get finicky on fit. Slimmer the better. I’ve been assigned to flooring for the last 3 weeks so lots of crouching tiger hidden dragon action since receiving in these, which helped set the whiskers and combs faster than usual.

        How’s your pair coming along? The evo looked great from your last post.

          LOL yes I see why that would speed up the fading process!

          My own pair has been in hibernation for a long time now. To be honest they have not been getting the love they deserve; too much competition from the heavier weight fabrics I  own. Will take em out again come spring though!

            I just picked up a pair! Rivet and Hide had a sale so I couldn’t pass them up. I’ll try to post pics soon, I’ve been slacking on that lately.

              Looks like I bought mine a month or so too early. Oh well, I still really like them. I don't know what it is, but I never liked black denim until I started wearing IH. Their double-black and overdyed jeans have a real rock-star vibe to them. I plan to wear mine through the summer (in a rotation with the 777-SLB and PBJ XX-005) and will post fade pics later.

              @RoxRocks86, sorry to hear about your alteration issues. They do look good, though. And I hear what you're saying about wanting slim-fitting black jeans. I couldn't imagine wearing double-black in a straight cut. At my larger size 38, that would be a 9.5-10" hem width. I'd look like the bass player from Limp Bizkit.

                @BlueBlood You’re right about the rockstar vibe IH’s darker denims give off. Absolutely love them. Lol @ your limp bizkit reference, isn’t that style coming back tho?  😃 Can’t wait to see how you treat yours when you start wearing them.

                But yeah, if they don’t fit like Ross in leather pants then they’re too baggy  😃

                  Beginning week 3 in these. Still dry. Dusted them off and saw baby fades making their way.

                    @Giles Hej! Any idea when this denim will be restocked? This one could be more comfortable during summer compared to the BS69xSOP420.

                      We had to wait a long time for the denim to be woven.  Now we need to get the jeans into production, given the backlog that we have in the workshops, I don't expect to see jeans made from this denim until early Autumn at best.  Sorry…

                        The general concensus is that the 14oz is much less breathable than the 21oz though.

                          Thanks @Denimminer for the advice. I am giving the 14oz a chance nevertheless. I found my size at AiTora in Spain. Lucky me 🙂

                          @Mr Eddy: Thanks for the fast and great service!!!

                            Fit pic. This will be my daily denim during the summer. I am really excited how the denim will fade. @Alex ‘s fade pictures of his sample are very promising…

                            To the lucky owner of this denim @RoxRocks86 @Lowlander @BlueBlood @xtcclassic : how was the first wash? I suppose 40 degrees with no spin, right? Did anybody tried 60 degrees?

                              Great fit @Mickey GT!

                              Yes, my first wash was at 40 degrees C and no spin. Even so I got a tiny bit of marbling. So my tip would be to soak your pair in a bucket for some time before you put it in the washer. Popular wisdom here has it that this will prevent marbling.

                              Good luck!

                                I gave mine a hot bathtub soak with about 5 min of hand-agitation. Had a little under a half-inch of inseam shrinkage. I typically don't machine-wash my jeans, unless they're older and a good chunk of the indigo has been knocked off.

                                It's still chilly and rainy here and I've mainly been working on my 21 oz and 25 oz IHs. I probably won't go back to the 142bb until it warms up a bit.

                                  @Mickey GT Looking great in the bb’s! I haven’t worn these since indigo invitationals started, but iirc I did get some shrink with the hottest (unsure of temp) + highest spin w/machine wash. approx. .75” inch shrink in both inseam and waist. Did a cold soaked beforehand so had no issues with marbling or crease fades. Enjoy your pair! The way black denim fades is always killer  😎

                                    Thanks a lot for your fast reply @RoxRocks86 @BlueBlood and @Lowlander - highly appreciated.

                                    The waist could be somehow tighter and the same regarding the thigh. Not much, maybe exactly what a wash with 40 degrees C can manage - keepin' in mind that a cold soak beforehand might be a pretty good idea to avoid marbling or crease fades. Let's see… I am going to feedback here.

                                      @Mickey GT you must be psychic, I just gave mine their first “wash” yesterday. I’m doing everything I can to slow fading on these as much as possible as I think black denim looks best when it is dark black with no fades. So I soaked mine in cold water with a tablespoon of salt and a cup of white vinegar as that apparently helps prevent fading. I don’t notice any fading or shrinking now that they are dry. I love this denim, I just wish there was a non-fading option.

                                        @xtcclassic Impressive proof of how different personal preferences can be 😉 I can't wait until this denim fades to grey. The "deep" black is to "hard" for me. I prefer more a faded denim.

                                        Update on my wash experiences: I gave mine a hot soak (40 degrees C) in our washing machine. It was the very first time that I carefully read the manual of our "MIELE" in order to find the perfect program/option. I decided to go with "wool": 25 minutes with only very careful agitation (like hand-agitation). No spin afterwards, but hangin' dry in the spring sun.

                                        The result was perfect: no marbling, no fade creases. But a slightly decrease around waist and thigh - just as desired. Now the fit is perfect for me.

                                            Update on my 777S-142bb. I am wearing this denim for 4 weeks now: one initial soak and one very gentle wash in the machine with 40 degrees C and no spin. After this short period of time the evolution is already obvious (in the direct sun) - it indeed "slowly" fades to grey 🙂 Great jean for warmer days, by the way.
