@catdad Looking good. Mine are at a similar place. I’d be interested to know what slub fans think of these. Having worn mine a lot this summer, I enjoy them but they are the least “Iron Heart” pair of jeans I own. All the things I’ve heard about PBJ and seen with Samurai, are happening. Threads are busting, weft is popping, sections are thinning. It’s great fun. They will also almost certainly have a short life span.

I love wabi sabi, but I like it when structural decay happens slowly enough for the fabric's character to get far along before the jeans become a pile of dust. I think that's one of the things that makes me love IH denims, because it seems the more generally held standard seems to be for the entire garment to age at the same time.

My slubs are still hanging in the closet and I don't know when I'll get to them, but that's not a super encouraging take from Neph from my perspective.

That said, Catdad's and others I've seen look great to me!

I think they're similar in theory to other slub denim. They appear identical to Evisu slub denim (that I've only seen in pictures and not first hand) but the warp threads of the IH have that ultra dense silky softness other IH denim has. Which is not like other slub denim I've seen. I'm surprised to hear they are breaking down. There was even a nep ball near the right knee that was interfering with my thigh stroke feng shui… I very carefully cut it off with a pair of diagonal cutters  The area is holding up fine... I won't try and trash mine and continue to baby them.

@Filthy

I have the Evisu Slubby special no 1 made in Japan.

See for your self..
Side by side

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I guess I am wrong. But the pictures I saw it looked so similar. I'll have to try and find them.

[Kasi]

I also have another pair of Evisu Slubby

Can’t remember where I put them.

See if I can find them.

Wow I'd love to be able to see those in person. Thanks @Kasi

[Nik]

This all makes me pretty excited to get my IH slubs when I'm back from holiday. Those evisu look cool too. You must have a pretty extensive collection @Kasi ?

[Giles]

Samples.  After another wash.  I am taking them to the US with me on Monday, otherwise, I would have dropped them off at the studio and had decent photos taken.  You'll have to put up with these…..

[Kasi]

Should we expect a new variation of slubby denim? OD or Indigo Black Perhaps?

[Giles]

OD is a possibility because all we have to do is overdue the denim, not weave a new version.  In fact, we are releasing an OD Type III very soon - The IH-526J-SLBod….

[stum]

Thanks for the info, it would be a very interesting fabric OD slubby . beautiful fades expected

[Giles]

Read this thread, pics of the OD are in there…..
