IH-888-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/blk

(I preface by saying that I’m not doing that annoying thing where I say that something shouldn’t bother you as though you can consciously control what bothers you.)

I’m with @Paul9221.  I’m actually quite fussy with my shirts and that whole wabash CPO thread has me itching. But strangely I feel the opposite about pants. Even in my mostly desk jockey existence I’ll go out in the dirty shop and kneel down, or wipe that black machine dust on my pants. I don’t like to look slovenly of course, but a stain or scrape here and there on pants doesn’t bother me.

I’d say bleach is the only example of a time I would be careful of my jeans. I wipe greasy hands on them every day, and just chuck them in the washer when they’re dirty. Bleach spot is part of the journey, now!

Thanks Guys. Yeah I’m cool with it. I’d prefer it didn’t happen but it’s all good. I kinda like it… interesting how it only changed the color of the black weft threads!

Ha!  I hadn't notice that, that is neat!

I know the black weft has a big part of seeing the fades, but it's crazy how fast these are going…. probably get some nice fades in about 2-3 months haha.

Yea these are dumping indigo on my rough out boots and that’s from the mostly non indigo side. Super excited to see those first wash pics come in from everyone.

Same thing happening to me with my 555s.

Agree on the softening up - still stiff, but spending a lot of time with kids feels like these are softening up a bit, but yet still feel stiff. Can't quite explain it.

[Jordonf9]

I'll prob wash mine in 2-3 weeks. With the kids food droppings and the road grim on my car rubbing on the denim, will need to wash em earlier then normal. I almost never wash my denim, haha.

First post from @Mustafa911 that I’ve seen in a while and it’s EMPTY

[Jordonf9]

So the bottom button came loose(as I never unbutton it really) and took me near 10 min to get it back in. Doesn't help my right hand is really bad due to winter weather so makes the job actually painful.

And when you do wash these denims, what will you use for soap? Dr. Bronners? Only water? Soap nuts?

I love checking in on the progress thanks for sharing guys! I'm hoping I get lucky and they decide to re-stock the 34's one day.

[neph93]

@CMastri have you checked the other stockists? These are not made for the Japanese market so there aren't any there and they won't be remade so a restock simply won't happen I'm afraid. The only way any will come back in is if a W34 is returned (highly unlikely at this point) or if IHUK buys back stock from these stockists (also unlikely/unusual).

@Steve:

STOCKISTS

Iron Heart UK
Rivet & Hide
Denim Heads
Pronto

[neph93]

@Giles now you mention it I remember you saying there was enough denim for a couple of hundred somethings… but the jury was out on the cut(s). Any decisions?

[CMastri]

@neph93

Thank you for the input! I appreciate it.

P.S. I just did my first soak on my 888S-OD "2-3 weeks in", I'll try and share some fit pics tonight.

@Giles

I'll 100% promise at least one pair if not two purchased if you do select the 888 as the cut for this beautiful fabric  8).
