IH-888S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise SBG

[an_apple_soda]

Curious if there is some kind of schedule to restocks? Pretty sure I need a 32 (same size as my 888S-21), and they’re sold out.

I wear my 8301s everyday for work & want to replace them with a pair of 888s. Love the fit!

EDIT: Disregard. Just gonna keep an eye out for the restock in 32. They’ll pop up eventually!

No sweat, but are there any updates on 888 SBG Restocks? I am looking for a Size 30 and have found them elsewhere, but would love to purchase directly from IH. Thanks!

Any word on when these will be back?

Hey guys!

Question about sizing: I usually get a 36 inch waist in other brands and they stretch about an inch. Consensus seems to be that that will work for these, if I understand correctly? I would just need to wait until they stretch out a bit before soaking?

[Bums_Fan]

I have pair of these jeans.  My experience is they do stretch in the waist and in other areas under tension like the thigh and seat.  After a soak, washing machine run, or whatever you do to get your jeans clean with water, they will snug up again.  And then you are back to stretching them out again.  The only thing you will not regain is any length lost due to skrinkage.  That said, this denim, like many of the IH denim types are already once washed, so shrinkage is minimal if at all.

Been loving the 888 cut lately so I sold my 555 SBGs and grabbed these. Much happier with the fit. I forgot how rigid brand new SBG denim feels, or maybe I’m just used to the comfort of the slubs, but I had a hard time with the top button. Couple of hours in and they’ve already relaxed considerably in the waist.

Fit looks spot on to me @jerkules, they look great!

[jerkules]

Thank you @Ross im very pleased with them

[maidbeir2]

Yep Weird Guy fits that bill pretty well. Caution with getting jeans that aren't tight initially though because they'll stretch!

Any updates on a restock of these?

[Alex]

None - we are unable to reorder this denim from Japan at the moment, so it will be several months before anything happens at the earliest

Gotcha, thanks Alex!

[Matt]

Love those @jerkules.  Makes me want to sell my 777s.

[jerkules]

Thanks @Matt - really into the 888 cut lately. I remember commenting that your 777 SBGs looked amazing on you tho!!

Hoping for a restock of these soon!

Pinkomo in Finland has them. I tried them on and they are great.

[jerkules]

@proteinn Grabbed mine from Rivet and Hide, looks like they have a few sizes in stock if you’re inpatient like me.

I see the 666 and 777 got a restock of the "Super Black Fades to Grey" hope the 888's come back soon. I need the bigger top block of the 888's.

Same.  I've been patiently waiting for a couple months for a restock.  Hopefully they come in soon and I can snag a pair before winter hits.

Just nabbed a pair of these - my first 888s actually - and after a few days of rocking them around the house I know where I want them hemmed to.

Haven't washed them yet - but was wondering if I could skirt around the premature wash if anyone here had any experience with how much they lost in the inseam afterwards? I expect it would be pretty minimal and had planned to leave an extra half inch just to be safe.

I'm not THAT against washing or anything but just being lazy
