IH-888XHSib - 25oz Indigo/Black Sample Thread

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Thanks @Matty123 I like how these have a more cobalt blue cast to them, instead of the purpleish cast like the double indigo ones did.

@Matty123 yes buddy, great work [emoji1491]

Really getting a good idea of how these develop. Loving it.

I see the 555-XHSIB have yellow arcs. Will these still have stealth arcs? @Alex

I think the current answer is that nobody knows…

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Oh, okay. I love the navy arcs on these. So I hope this is the case. Thanks.

Thanks Everyone. especially to @Alex and @Giles for asking and allowing me to sample these. The color in the photos is pretty accurate. Light of course effects any color but these photos show a few of the various ways they can look depending on the lighting. And yes @Filthy the blue does differ from the II maybe it’s the black cross stitching. I love these jeans.

@Matty123 Thx for posting - great evolution so far! I love this indigo-black denim. @Filthy 's description of the blue color being cobalt is spot on. In general I just love super dark indigo jeans, and the black weft really makes these exceptionally dark. I hope I can make my stars align to score a pair of these when they drop… I'm predicting these will be another IH future epic model.

@Matty123 after your soaks have you gotten any stretch? It’s been awhile since I’ve had 25oz and I can’t remember what it will do. Joe

[neph93]

It stretches as much as any other denim, just  slower.

Thanks Neph, I thought as much. It thought I’d ask the redundant question.

[Matty123]

Like Reuben said. I just did a hot hand wash and they have shrunk a bit. But are stretching back out. I have some numbers on the early pages. But they stretch back slower than say the 21 oz

Thanks Marty, they look amazing. I wasn’t going to get these at first but after looking at the pictures have decided to get back into 25oz and there is no promise they will make the 888 in 25oz again. So I’m just trying to work out what size I’ll need and just sit patiently.

Why u not make on 634’s cut ? Or did 888 cut as same as MBB cut?

[Appfaff]

The 888 has (in ways) replaced the BB cut for those wanting a regular fit, mid rise cut with more taper than the 634. Where as the BB cut had a moderate taper, the 888 has a more aggressive taper for a more modern silhouette.

I was a BB fan back in the day and feel the 888 cut is a fresh take on that - one that even more people can enjoy due to the non-restrictive top block many iterations of the BB cut had.

Hope you are able to get a pair of really enjoy them

MBB was a different cut to the 888. It had a smaller rise and smaller thigh measurements.

Enjoy ya addiction[emoji158] [emoji149][emoji148] [emoji1587]‍[emoji3603]

I Agree they are totally different - I was simply saying they are both options for those wanting a more refined regular cut Jean because it was asked.

Sorry if people got confused with what I was trying to get across.
