@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…

Is the XHS BB donezo? Funny cos I have a pair of SBG and 14oz black and they get probably the least wear out of my jeans, yet I'm sure if these are discontinued I'll start GASing due to unobtanium
EDIT: judging by the fact that no pairs are on the site anymore, the answer to that question is yes. Oddly I never noticed.

XHSbb came out the same season XHSmb did. I'm pretty sure @sabergirl has a pair of those also amazing black 25oz.

About two weeks of wear. This is my third pair of black/black denim from IH. I have the 633 14oz, 633 21oz, and this 888 25oz. I wear all black for work so I'm really dependent on these pairs. Can't wait for the fades to start kicking in on this one.
At first I was second guessing the 25oz because damn they need some time to break in but oh man I'm loving them.
-
This denim in black is my absolute fave–if it ever comes back I'll be buying a lifetime's worth I think--which for Iron Heart will probably be what, 3 pairs
Enjoy! -
@AdamJ excellent pics Sir! the pr exudes quintessential XHS fade trait i love, love, love… Matrix vertical lines! fortunate to have copped a pr of the 555s tho i shoulda snagged the 666s. (great, now i’ll be humming “The Heretic Anthem” all day)
-
My 777 pair has about 150 days and one soak initially . I snagged a 555 pair in the outlet also, they will be saved for a few years probably
The 25oz BB is true grail black denim
