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

[Karol]

@goosehd I think MB was released before I discovered IH. And yes, going for the things you like is always a good idea, but I would like to avoid purchasing in a fear of missing out on things. I got two pairs of IH-888-XHSib and two IHSH-339-SAX because I don't want to be in such situation. Now maybe someone else cant enjoy wearing them as they just wait for their turn in my closet...

@Oaktavia Its first meme that I ever created but I just could not resist

[goosehd]

@Karol This can get into one of those philosophical discussions about want versus need which there isn't really an answer to. I think most of us buy to our tastes and likes not what we fear of not seeing again.

There are many items that came before my time that I wish I could buy, but realize there are so many new items that come along that my wants and needs are fulfilled. Another thing I do is skim the marketplace on a daily basis for items that I missed because of timing or came out way before I found IH.

looks different than the normal od I would say.
what do you think ? And it doesn’t look like it fades super slow
did you washed them already?

I think yes it looks quite different than the other OD. It does not fade as fast as XHSib but still does in a more dull way. Fades mostly only visible in bright sun whereas other denim usually look better in overcast ️

[Oaktavia]

@Daniel-San forgot to answer no they are unwashed ... the longest I have gone without a wash was 61 days with 777S21ib. I want to go longer this time. As long as possible as i always say hopefully I can get to 75 or more. I really want the denim to need a wash first.

[Oaktavia]

Dirty jeans...time for a wash?

[sabergirl]

I would say so! But it’s up to you, really. They look great.

[A Former User]

@Oaktavia i would say no.. just stretch this legg as long as possible, spot cleaning.. or soak, i think when you drag this one along as long as possible you’ll get some really cool fades. At least that’s what i would have done if they would fit me

[Oaktavia]

Holding off for now just because the denim is so stubborn...it'll happen soon though.

64 days 4 dogs

I made it through the school year without washing them. Now I don't have to inspect and spot clean every little stain. No more worry about dog fur Klingons. I'll see how far I can take them before a wash. Gonna get em gross!

We share the private Potomac River access with the small forested neighborhood we live in but it is usually empty. Sometimes people ride horses around the area as it is an equestrian community too.
