      They don’t look bad but if you feel you could size down it’s probably the thing to do.

      Nothing worse than that nagging feeling of a pair being too big or too small.

      Order the size down and then you can compare and make your choice.

        Thank you for all youre feedback.  I do agree that I  should have sized down but then the waist will be too tight even with the stretch. I am one of those in between sizes. I  did rocked these today  and found it over all a good relaxed 
        Pair of denim.  After a few wears I will zap them in the dryer to see if the could get any shrink in them. If i ruin it which  I  hope I don't  then it will up being my primary motorcycle riding pants…

        Thanks again.

          Adam wears tag 32

          "Saint Laurent" look Adam! Very sharp :o  😎

          Normally I would go one size down from Adam's size (my waist is 31.5") but from this photo these look like I'm opt for same tag as Adam's otherwise the jeans may be too tight around the waist

          Past purchased items that fit perfectly: 25oz OD tag 31, Pronto collab 25oz tag 31, Pronto Collab Brown weft 22oz tag 31

            ^ bare in mind that the higher rise on these often means you need a smaller waist as they sit over the hips.

              I don’t think it’s a good idea at all to put superblack denim in the dryer. Or the washing machine for that matter. Read the care instruction sheet that they should have sent you with your order.

                  The product page in the webshop lists them as «Endangered» and says «No restocks» I’m afraid.

                      Are there any examples of how the non-fade material ages? I used the search bar but didn’t come up with anything.

                        Not many that I know of. I have a bag made out if it that has seen daily use for two years, I’ll take some pics and post here tomorrow (it’s 0100 in Norway).

                            Here’s the bag. It’s made of the standard 21oz Super Black denim. I’ve had it for 2-3 years and it sees constant use. I’m not gentle with it either so it goes everywhere. It got a thorough hand wash about 6 months ago.

                            The thing to notice is that despite being an item which has some high wear points and despite it taking a kicking, it doesn’t get high contrast fading. It fades in a much more uniform fashion. This is the reactive dye doing its job.

                            If you compare it the product pics in the webshop (https://www.ironheart.co.uk/cutnsewn/ihe-19.html) you’ll see it has lost some of its initial inky blackness. Another thing with this denim, it’s pretty stiff when new but softens beautifully.



                            Personally I really like how this denim ages and hope to get either a jacket or vest made of it one day.

                              I think you may have convinced me! Thank you for the in depth write-up and pictures.

                                I got these on today and holy wow are they amazing! Soft, supple, and amazingly comfortable right away. They definitely make me realize just how different the fabric is between these and the UHRs! I can’t believe how breathable they are.

                                      Thanks! Yes I do, very hard. I’m focusing on my DWC pair right now but these will be put to work when I feel like living my Modern Life is War (black jeans, black shirt, black shoes) life.

                                          Thank you @neph93 . My 888s are way more comfortable than when they started off late november. Probably at 15 wear days by now. They are softening nicely.

                                          The journey is the objective.
