      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.

          The leather patch…

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

          More details…

          They should fade pretty fast and pretty nicely…

            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...

                  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.

                          Very cool! This is probably the combo/cut i'm going for (at least) Good to see there isn't shrinkage on the thigh, which to me can be the make or break factor. Anyways, looking forward to seeing more evo pics!

                            An update on the fabric: Stretching it is harder than expected but doable. It will just take longer. The new 14 oz is a beast (no surprise, though, it still has IH DNA all over it). I have the feeling it is pretty tightly woven and stays pretty rigid and stiff even after soaking and washing. Therefore it is warm and I would also say the 21 oz beats it in terms of wearability during warmer weather due to its much looser weave.

                              The 16oz Vintage denim is the best hot-weather IH denim IMHO.

                                ^Interesting. Too bad the 16 oz is marked as being endangered.

                                Although I am a huge fan of heavyweight denim, the new 14 oz won me over quickly. It's sturdy yet comfortable und represents IH to the fullest. These are my best fitting and probably my favourite pair atm. I'm seriously thinking about grabbing the upcoming bb-version as well despite having the 555-03 already. Hoping both become continuous production items.

                                  After 25ish wears my 888s-142ib are in the wash on the hand wash cycle 30c/800rpm inside out with no detergent.

                                  I could almost not get them on when I first got them with the waist measuring 33.3" but they fitted perfectly everywhere else so I persevered and have ended up with a waist of bang on 35"

                                  I've taken full pre wash measurements so will report back once they are washed and dried with further deets.

                                  Cheers!

                                    A short sleeve western shirt in this material (sizes up to 4xl) would be pretty great.

                                      These do bleed… a lot: they've collected some dust from a walk in a park and after shaking it off my fingers were all blue.

                                          Looks great so far. Keen to see what it would look like with contrast stitching…
