Thanks, Alex!

That's pretty minimal shrink at high temps. If we stick to cold soaks, maybe even warm soaks, shrinkage should be negligible?

[Alex]

I would have though so, yes

Snagged a pair of these thanks to Graham and Adam for the assist!  I love the fit.  I both welcome the grey fade and hope it doesn't come too soon

Worn with the IHSH-33-black:

@Paul9221 well done sir… I have massive want for these. It will happen one day but is not possible right now. In the meantime I will just have to sit here and deal with my intense envy of you

Is this the same "SBG" denim that what was used in below Vater & Sohn collab?

[Giles]

Yes…

[Jdub]

Well giddy up.

Anyone have any experience wearing these for some time? If so, what is the consensus on stretching?

Do they stretch in the waist as much as the 21oz. indigo 888s?

The SBG stretches, but a little slower than the standard 21oz, and possibly not quite as much.

[edubz]

Okay cool. Do you think i might get atleast an inch of stretch in the waist?

Im asking because, I just got a pair in the mail and they are the same size as my indigo 888s, though they feel a little tight. I remember buying my 888s on the tighter side, and they stretched out a lot, maybe even a little more than I would have wanted them too. Just want to make sure that these will give enough, I cannot imagine being happy with the next size up.

You should get an inch without a problem. As said, may take a little more effort than with the 21oz, but it will get there.

Can confirm. Just keep moving and grooving in your SBGs & you’ll get that stretch.

Thanks for your help!
