IH-888XHSib - 25oz Indigo/Black Sample Thread
-
Just finished up at work. Sending them out for a hem this week.
-
Do these have black pocket bags and rear pocket linings? I love the black arcs. I know they don't do preorders but I need to buy myself a $400 voucher so I have the money ready to go as soon as they are ready.
@Matty123 how heavy and soft do they feel compared to the 888-NT? I'd ask vs. regular XHS but I dont think you own a pair of those.

Also IDK how far along these are in the planning phase. But in lieu of the regular veg tanned ptach a black tea core patch would be pretty sick.

Hey Mike, @Filthy these have regular canvas colored pocket bags, and yes the rear pockets are lined.i thought the arcs were black as well but Giles told me they are navy. They are absolutely softer out of the bag than the NT UHR, but not as soft as the PIH5DCS. Maybe the black yarn is a little stiffer?? Regardless they are muc softer than the NT

You too my man. Have a great day

I'm fantasizing about wearing these right now. I imagine them being uncomfortable because I sized down. I'm so excited for these.

Was thinking tea core would be cool because it would do this:

A black leather patch (e.g. like on the 9666Z) and navy arcs for the 555XHSib as well have my vote, too. Note that the 21 oz SuperBlack denim is pretty rigid and can stand on its own so I imagine the XHSib is gonna be pretty tough as well. Tougher than the usual XHS.
Yeah it’s def rigid but the UHR is more so IMO.
-
In production already with natural patches I'm afraid….
It's all good Giles. When is your fictional expected release date? (I need to see if I have to go pawn some of my stuff or not).
-
Thanks. I should be able to come up with the cash by then.

I'd reckon 4-6 weeks…
Oh wow! I won’t even be able to fade these by then. I guess people seem
Interested enough judging by this thread. -

Interested enough judging by this thread.I imagine them looking close to @Brock 's pair when fully trashed- but with ever darker lowlights and a black inside.

I don’t know why , I have the feeling this denim will not be a Guick fader. Fingers crossed.
Hope to see fade sample from Matty soon

I think the indigo is gonna fade pretty fast imo. The Black won’t fade at all…. but we’ll
See soon. I sent them to indigo proof for hemming. Have em back in about a week.
