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

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.

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…

Won't be for a few months I am afraid.  Covid has had some significant long-term effects on the industry in Japan, many foreign workers who worked in the mills and factories were sent home, and many of them have decided not to return…..

So everything is a juggling act for us at the moment....We do A, we cant do B or C, we do C, we cant do D or E etc etc etc....
