You never forget your first.

Got mine today. They fit!  This is the 4th pair of jeans delivered to me. I returned the first 3 because they didn’t fit. I wanted the iron hearts all along. Lesson learned.

[Matt]

Congratulations.  Have fun with them.

The 16oz is a better hot weather denim than the 14

@GreatDenimFan:

I haven't worn jeans in a decade and have decided to switch and pick up this 'hobby'. For my regular rotation I've recently got the IH-888S-142 and IH-888S-142bb, and today just got the IH-888S-SLB, I might finish things off with IH-888D (when they restock).

The slubby is quite unique! There's more of a difference than I was expecting. It's stunning to look at. Definitely stands as distinct item in the rotation, rather than just a slight variation (how I'd expect indigo/black to be).

The slubby "came out of the box" much more pliable/flexible than the others, though I have no idea what to expect after some wear. The listing says it's "incredibly soft" and it really does feel like it, even at 2oz heavier.

Some people might not lack the patch, it is different, but I really like it.

Looks like we have the same rotation of jeans just that mine is in 666.

Yo dudes. Lack of fit pics of this cut/denim combo so let me fix that. Denim is superb, beautifully textured but such a lovely deep inky indigo. For me, love at first sight.

I’m 6”1, 80kg, and wearing unhemmed tag 34.

Cool.

They look great @jerkules - I will get some more pics of my samples up on here soon, i've worn them pretty hard in rotation for nearly a year - they were love at first sight for me, too 

[Choko]

@jerkules those pictures may have convinced me. I’m thinking about the LHT too though when they come out. These measurements look great

[jerkules]

Thanks guys!

@AdamC awesome would love to see how they’ll look a year from now. Giles 666 sample looks great.

@Choko there’s so much interest denim on the horizon. I’m super happy to have these slubs though, it’s nice to have something so textured. If you pull the trigger I doubt you’ll be disappointed!

[jerkules]

Crappy photo in my dimly lit home office, but I really like the grainy textures of the 299 against the slub denim.

@jerkules Fantastic job w those!  You finding with the looser weave that you are getting more than avg stretch on the waist?  Strongly considering a pair for the summer

[jerkules]

Thanks @Bren There’s definitely some good stretch but nothing particularly unusual from other denim I own - I accounted for 1 inch stretch and I think the denim probably could go a bit further. I potentially could’ve gone another size down, but I’m more than happy with a little extra room in the “comfort regions” if you know what I mean  ;).

I’d say trust the one inch stretch, but if you’re between sizes then go down rather than up. If that makes sense..

Lovely. As ever, surprisingly soft. Feel much airier than my 21oz. The waistband doesn’t need to give me very much to be spot on where I want them. Think I’ll be wearing these most of the summer then.

My selfie game is not great but was able to snag a decent one briefly at work. Really enjoying these this summer!

Long time lurker, first time post! So happy with the 888 cut. Coming from wearing super skinny pants for over a decade, it's a breath of fresh air. Jeans are super soft and airy. Love 'em!

[Matt]

Looking good.  Welcome.

[SBE2002]

Thank you!!!

@SBE2002 nicely done. Fit is perfect
