IH-888-XHSMB - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut - Mad Black

[DVD Connoisseur]

For me, the standout piece from yesterday's excellent preview. An incredible pair of jeans - now saving my pennies with the hope of purchasing these on release date.

Liking Haraki's call on giving zero effs on keeping the W red on these.
"Mad Black" indeed.

I am so excited for these! This is going to be my A/W 20 must-have, for sure.

@Giles How different does this denim feel/wear right out of the gate compared to the regular overdyed denim?

[Alex]

@jordanscollected

They feel more or less identical to the regular overdyed, the denim is afterall identical. The difference is predominantly in the colour to start with and in turn how they will age.

See here comparing 21oz-OD to 21oz-MB

thanks @Alex that's a great comparison pic.

"I'm overdyed black!" -regular OD's

"hold my beer" -Mad Black

a really cool concept that will generate intrigue here.

@Alex or @Giles will the XHSMB only be available in the 888 cut?

[Alex]

Yes, initially. But as it’s regular indigo MBed we may we’ll do it in other cuts

[alexswords]

@Alex got it, thank you. I'd be all over the XHSMB in a 555 or a 777. thanks again for the F/W 20 zoom meeting. it was a great way to see the new product.

I am 25oz fan and own 4 but I am not feeling this new color/concept  . Maybe a hit with some!

Could these have an easier break-in/stretch like the 21od since the description says twice overdyed?

[neph93]

Doubtful. Easier than the standard 25oz for sure. But the 21oz is a very easy break compared to them and the overdyed 21oz easier still. But no-one knows for sure so it will be exciting as always to find out.

I've also noticed that the 21oz SB denim takes a lot more effort to break in compared to the standard 21oz.  Not sure if that will carry over to 25oz.

True story. It doesn’t have the same amount of post weave processing as the indigo 21oz.

Wish this comes out in the 555’s fit

@Kasi Or at least the 777.

[Giles]

I'm afraid we got very little interest from retailers for this denim.  That determined what we decided to make…Sorry....

[Kasi]

That ok Giles… at least black, black coming in 25oz

777’s Nah I passed not for me, stick with 555’s

[Paul9221]

I've never understood the lack of interest in black denim. It looks great and it's practical.  I get that people want to fade things but a solid pair of black jeans is a must have in everyone's wardrobe.

[Kasi]

Definitely wouldn’t mind in my collection
