IH-888S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise SBG

[Oaktavia]

@choco Yup yup...stoked for you to try them out.

[jerkules]

@choco the 21oz is pretty special - that said I’ve never tried the 14oz which being from IH I bet would be amazing too. Never hurts to have both to change things up a bit, hope you get a chance to try this denim tho!

[popvulture]

I've got 666s in the SBG and 14oz and vastly prefer the former, but the 14oz are indeed cool. I feel like I'm just so used to heavy denim now that anything south of 16oz feels like I'm Donald Duckin'.

[choco]

@jerkules yeah, this is my second pair of 14z. I have a pair of 301s in 14 that I've worn quite a bit. I do have the 8301s SBG 21oz, but unfortunately they only fit me when I'm extremely fit now. hahaha

Any updated ETA for these?

mid-late summer

[atm23]

I got the 633 version from SE last week, they should be here tomorrow.

[choco]

@Alex considering the 555 and 666 restock just hit today, any hopes of an earlier release on the 888?

[Twistlock]

@choco, if i am not mistaken there was no restock of SBG today but the long awaited (for me) release of the 21oz selvedge superblack non fade denim.

[AdamJ]

@choco @Twistlock is correct, the release today was 21oz superblack non-fade, which I appreciate has a very similar product reference.

IH-888S-SBG ETA is currently September

[choco]

@Twistlock oh shoot! definitely misread. womp womp

[choco]

@AdamJ thanks for the info! looks like I'll have to be patient for a few more months

Excuse the dogshit photo (6 year old took it), but I thought the fades on the top block are starting to pop.

I have a pair of different denim right at this phase too. I love it.

[jerkules]

@Oaktavia your Mad Blacks? I’ve been following your updates in the thread, I reckon you’re a little ahead of me - your pair looks sick.

I’ve said before that I’m not super fond of black/black jeans when brand new. It’s taken me a year to get to this stage since I generally swerve for an indigo pair. But I LOVE faded black jeans, so now I’m really starting to wear these a lot and they get the attention they deserve.

[Oaktavia]

@jerkules yeah MB are on their way. I agree the darkness of new black jeans and shirts show everything too. But when faded, they're awesome af.

[cityofdelusion]

Is the ETA still September?

[AdamJ]

@cityofdelusion Yep

[aaronblitz]

im really on the fence with IH-888S-SBG vs IH-888S-SB. The SB have stock but the SBG are sold out. I think I just read above about potential early September stock release? Being August I have zero issues waiting for the SBG.

I love anything faded and leaning towards waiting for the SBG pair but do the super blacks really not show any wear over time? Curious what people think that own both or had both before?

[Mizmazzle]

All I know is SBG is the shit!!!
