IH-888S-SLB - 16oz Slubby Selvedge Denim Relaxed Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
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.

@jerkules those pictures may have convinced me. I’m thinking about the LHT too though when they come out. These measurements look great
-
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 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
-
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! -
Thank you!!!
-
@SBE2002 nicely done. Fit is perfect
-
Looking forward to getting my stacked pair now that I am back from a long holiday. Might be best to wait a couple weeks for the anniversary party though and get them then since I did manage to gain a couple inches or so in the waist while away.

Thanks @AdamC I'll be along soon will be cool to see all the updates to the space hope you're all well too

Great as always to visit IHUK, thanks @Graham and hope you guys enjoyed the Hideout doughnuts.
Sized up to 32 in these for the extra pounds I picked up on holiday so they feel very comfortable. Love how the front pocket fabric has the slub running horizontally. The inside of the fabric is so much darker than other IH denim and shows all the irregularity. I can kind of understand why Haraki was less into doing this denim as it is so different from the 21oz. But I am glad he did. It feels softer then other slub jeans I've had from other brands, and as always the 888 cut feels great.
