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

[jerkules]

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

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!

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.

@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

@trivsdotcom On the product pages it states: "Sanforized and one-washed - little to no shrinkage to be expected"

Hope this helps…

I'm all for leaving an extra .5 inch,but also hot soak/wash to get the shrink out. Don't be lazy!

This is a shrink test @Alex performed on this denim…
