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

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

Amazing @Filthy

@AdamJ Wow! Those look amazing! Curious as to how many washes and how many days worn?
-
@AdamJ danggg dude those look stunning!

Geez these are sick!! Hoping one day a pair will pop up on the Buy/ sell thread!! I have a pair of SBG getting hemmed right now I look forward to getting into. But that 25oz!!! Believe it was the great bearded one him self, @Oaktavia that said' @25oz in Black Black…no brainer!!" These dropped when I was first getting into IH...sadly at the time I had to brain!!

@Mizmazzle I remember asking Filthy Mike what type of black denim I should go for, the SBG 21oz or the XHSbb. He was the one who recommended the latter and I'm so glad he did. Eventually it became the no brainer for me and knew Mike really knew his shit after that!
-
Damn @Oaktavia that story is nuts. Because the last conversation I had with Mike was about how I was bummed I missed out on the XHS BB, but had found a steal of a deal on a new pair of 21oz SBG…Mike, in his kind natured way, assured me the 21oz was about as good as the XHS....in my heart I knew he was trying to ease my FOMO haha. But the unique weight and double black color paired with the fact that it wouldn't be made again...I knew it was what it was. That guy sure knew how to give some great advice and make one feel part of this community.

I mean he was right, they are pretty similar in many ways. SBG is an amazing fabric and will fade with even more contrast down the road if that's what you're after. There seems to be an increasing interest in black XHS so maybe there will be something or other in the future? Might be pipe dreaming here…
just a pair that came through for repair
