IH-888-XHSBB - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut - Black/Black

Don’t wanna punch you in the face but if i’m correct then the xhsbb won’t re-run..

[Alex]

You are correct

[Salted Racer]

I am so glad a copped a pair then. They are a wonderful denim @Alex and they would be the black denim in my rotation forever if I had my way. Did they not sell well enough to consider a future re-run or was it a cost-to-produce issue, I'd love to know! Apologies if you've already addressed this somewhere.

[Alex]

They sold a lot slower than we hoped, and we have limited production so need to prioritise some other denims

[Salted Racer]

Fair enough sir—makes complete sense. I will treasure them even more now

@Salted:

For real though, that's how I feel about my pair of 777XHSbb. It is a bummer for the folks who missed out, but it makes them rarer than other denims of it's kind. Makes owning a pair special and I'm stoked we hopped on ours when we could.

Man, bummed I didn’t realize what I was missing out on when these last dropped. Would love a true black 25oz denim in the 888 cut. Guess the ib would be the only black(ish) option in 25oz. Any pointers I might be missing out on? Wonder if the UHR would ever come in a black…

Basically wanting my next pair to be black not OD. Love me some 25oz…what’s a boy to do??

Nope, fades to blue.  these are 19 not 25, but you get the drift….

UHR will not come in black...

[Mizmazzle]

Well, sheet! @Giles guess my closest bet at this point is the 21oz SBG then??

Gave them a trip through the worsher… I dunked them under cool water about a minute, folded them I half, and rolled them up from the hems to them waist. I ran them on a cold, shot cycle, delicate/hand wash, no spin.... Dripped dry over the furnace vent. I ran them through the dryer (after they were completely dry) to soften them up because they were like sand paper... There's absolutely no marbling or streaks or anything disagreeable. I'm very happy

The white streaks and spots are snow flurries

[Oaktavia]

Hell yeah buddy @Filthy love that you're wearing them hard nowadays.

Amazing @Filthy

[AdamJ]

Stellar example of the 25oz black/black fades, best one I've seen yet. This pair came in for repair recently

[goosehd]

@AdamJ You make me want to buy a pair of black jeans…something I never thought I would say.  I love black Type III’s but the jeans never interested me….until now.    Great job!!

[AdamJ]

@goosehd thanks! Should add a note to the above, they aren't mine  just a pair that came through for repair

[goosehd]

Then I take it all back…get to work slacker  Have a great weekend @AdamJ

…and still a pair of lovely jeans.  Whoever did that, Great Job!!

[AdamJ]

@goosehd however I will keep being the advocate for all the black denims out there!

[Oaktavia]

HOLY MOLY those look amazing @AdamJ I assume they have been washed a ton? I reeeeeeally dig how the black arches and W stand out like crazy on that pair. Might need to give mine a few more washes…

[atm23]

@AdamJ Wow! Those look amazing! Curious as to how many washes and how many days worn?

[AdamJ]

@atm23 they're 2 years old but I am unsure how much wear/washes they've had I'm afraid. They came in to Josh for repair so I borrowed them for some pics!
