Looking for feedback from anyone who has owned both SBG and 14oz BB. Besides fabric weight, how do these two compare? How would you contrast the fading and wear experience over time?

[AdamJ]

@68degreesorless

21oz SBG: fades quicker, need to take a bit more care when washing to avoid marbling. Higher contrast overall due to the reactive/sulphur dyed techniques in play.

14ozbb: does not fade as quickly, gets softer quicker and in my opinion more comfortable quickly. The fade contrast is not as stark as the SBG

There are extensive fade examples of both denims on the respective threads so you can see how they're going to fade.

SBG is restocking in approx 6 months time, more than worth the wait IMO

Thanks a lot @AdamJ! Super helpful.

Might've been asked already,.but what are these new yellow squares under people's avatars?

[tody]

@T4920 Probably reflecting post count/user rank.

[goosehd]

@tody I believe you are correct. This is the board's rank/progression list.

Raw and Unwashed - 0
The Unwoven - 5
Haraki-san Student - 20
Haraki-san Prodigy - 100
Haraki-san Expert - 250
Iron Heart Deity - 500
啓蒙家 - 1000
見習いボス - 2500

Each block corresponds to one rank, ex. Haraki-san Student would equal 3 blocks under your name and Deity would be 6.

There should me a new one. 6660 for Master of the Dark Arts.

[Alex]

We probably should add some new ones given how many 見習いボスs there are now

They're here! Jeez this is stiff and heavy.
Will I break them (in) or will they break me ?

Fit is perfect I would say, a bit tight on the waist, but hey, good reason to loose a bit more weight.

Now to soak or not? Will it soften up if soaked? I've read that the soak of sanforized and one washed denim is not mandatory, but some people still prefer to do it as far as I can tell?

[Giles]

Need to know what you have bought to answer your questions....

[nickname]

Got the 888S-21, thanks.

[Giles]

No need to soak or wash, we’ve done it for you. But some people do because, well they’re people

[nickname]

Great, thanks Giles.

I've just realised I have 3x $50 reward vouchers on my IH account! Should I have been notified I'd been given these via email, as I don't remember ever being made aware of them.

Also, are they stackable? Or will I have to use them on 3 seperate orders?

[Alex]

@T4920 Yes, emails were sent to everyone that earned reward vouchers. Have you perhaps unsubscribed to our mailing list? I can see that your profile has not been sent an email since late 2022...

yes

[T4920]

@Alex Not intentionally, I'll re-subscribe again now.

Thanks for the info Alex.

[Alex]

@T4920 OK. We will send a NL later today to announce the sale. If you don't get that by about 4.30, drop me a note as we know we have a wider issue.

[Alex]

Moving this to PM as it contains your personal info
