14oz Indigo x Black Denim Updates

That would be a nice fabric for a workshirt…

Ah no, why contrast stitching on the 666’s? It put me off the 666 sbg’s..

What about the black/ black 666’s?

14oz 888 indigo x black in my possession. Gonna give them a cheeky bit of hemming and then I will be all over this thread.

I have the 777s

Cheeky shirt teasing two days on the trot?! Careful, you’ll get a reputation [emoji1]

[Alex]

You caught me…

[Max Power]

Was just about to write the same…I Need that shirt!

That flannel will be an instant classic. Work shirt or western…..decisions

Not even kidding, I'm about 82% certain that might happen.

contrast stitching on the 634 and 666 cuts

What about stitching on the 888 - contrast or tonal?

Going to guess tonal to be different from the contrast stitching of the 888-XHSib.

888 is the one I was hoping would be contrast as that's the fit I'd have my eye on.

Tonal on 555/777/888

The leather patch…

…and the leather patch after the mandatory Obenauf's treatment.

More details…

They should fade pretty fast and pretty nicely…

[brobles]

Warp and weft fade correct? I'm sold on the bxb. now just trying to figure out if I need a pair of these tonal ones too!

F***!!! I was hoping for contrast stitching on the 888. I'm not really into tonal stitching… depending on measurements it might be the 634 for me...

[xtcclassic]

I’m stoked about the tonal stitching on the 777. Probably my next pair. Tonal stitching looks a bit monochrome at first but once the denim starts fading it’s awesome.

Shrink test results are in. I think these are equivalent to a tag 32:

Fresh out of the brown bag

After a 3 h soak with hottest tap water, no agitation + machine washed @ 40° C with 1200 spin

To my surprise the water stayed almost clear after their soak (e.g. SBG turns the water completely pitch-black, SII completely blue). They also became pretty stiff but softened up pretty quickly. I didn't expect them to lose this amount in length but they're still good to go. There is some shrinkage left in this fabric so one can either squeeze out more out of it by applying higher temps or less by using less harsh washing methods.

Can't wait for that flannel. Western for me! Oyyyyy
