      You’re the real MVP, Neph.

      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.

          The best I can do picture-wise for now.

            They look like a really good fit @Jordanxbuffer You wear your jeans hard if I remember correctly. I´m excited to see these down the line.

              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.

                      I looked through the older product posts and couldn't find any - …has there been a selvedge 21oz 888 in fades-to-grey superblack?

                      No!

                          I take it there's no 30 in that restock or already gone?  I was shocked when I received the restock email since I was on the lookout already.

                            Hello all,

                            Will these stretch out 1 inch in the waist? They still have tag size 35 available in stock which measures to be 34.5 prior to wear. My jeans are usually in between 35 to 35.5, just depends on the rise for me.

                            Thomas01's 35s stretched to 36, that is 1.5", seems a lot.

                            Thanks!

                              Hi @Luis and welcome to the forum!

                              The 888s-SB denim has been one washed so there will indeed be approximately one inch of stretch in the waist with wear. As you can appreciate, it is not an exact science and it is effectively stretching back out to the pre wash size and also depends on the amount of pressure they are put under with wear.

                              Sounds like the tag 34 measuring 34.5" is right in the zone for you, they are fantastic jeans and I am gutted I missed out on them in my size.

                                Thanks for the welcome Graham.

                                Will definitely have to pick these up then.

                                  I've been wearing mine for a while now and they're still super stiff… Will these ever soften up as much as the regular (indigo) 888S-21?

                                    Nope. They won’t be as soft as the 21oz. I found that after around 5 years and countless machine washes/lots of daily wear they got softer, but the superblack always has a bit of stiffness to it.

                                      @sabergirl Thanks for the reply. I was afraid this was going to be the case.

                                      How about the 888-21SBG? Will that be as soft as the indigo 888-21?

                                        I’ve not had a pair of sbg bottoms—but I have a type III that has gotten a bit softer and more molded to my body. It isn’t like 21oz. In my experience, nothing is quite like the flagship denim. The XHS is the one that undergoes the biggest transition. Eventually the 25oz. denim gets crazy soft.
