IH-888S-21ib - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/Blk

@caithangkhanh wowie those fades are razor sharp! I wish I hadn't washed my pair so early!

@Oaktavia Nothing wrong with holding out for 2 months- That's hard enough lol. Yours are sick too! I think I'll probably go somewhere in between. I'm trying to make it the whole cold season.

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich well thanks for the encouragement my dude. I would be wearing my pair more but that's the IH fanatic in me...too many pairs to fade.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia I hear that - these are my only pair of 888 though, and i don't really see myself wearing my 18oz 777 till it gets hot again. The 888SBG is on my list though if they ever come back in stock I'll have something to rotate. Just rotating shirts right now lol

[WhiskeySandwich]

I hit 50 wears. No wash, going for 100 before doing that. They’re getting that nice shiny lived-in look I like, fades are pretty mild so far. No plans on rotating anything till I get my hands on SBG (or XHS if it’s on the menu). Loving this 21ib, still get psyched to put it on every morning

Will post some outdoor lighting shots once it dries up

[WhiskeySandwich]

@caithangkhanh Wowzers those fades are epic. That's one of the best looking pair of jeans I've ever seen. If that doesn't sell people on the IB, idk what would. It's a shame there's no plan for a re-run. I'm glad I got my pair though!

Thanks! These are my first pair of IH, and I’m really happy with how they’re coming along. I’m currently eyeing a pair of XHS or XHSib. Just waiting on the XHSib to restock. I’d love to participate in one of these competitions, but I’m terrible at keeping track and taking pictures.

Thank you! That’s what I love about denim. Each pair tells its own stories.

@WhiskeySandwich

Those whiskers are coming along nicely and quickly! You should change your name to WhiskerSandwich.

Man some of these photos….

Can confirm that this is awesome denim. I actually bought a back up pair. They get nice and soft quickly, and those little creasy electric blues really show in the sun, and pretty quickly. I’m still early, but I’m looking forward to seeing how these fade. Love em.

[TinMan]

On my list fo sure!!

Those look great @WhiskeySandwich

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Nik thanks man! they're beginning to turn out awesome, i'm sure they've got a long way to go but i love em

[drewfonse]

I have a pair of the 25ib, but I keep reaching for the 21 instead. The 25 is really testing my fortitude haha. I get to wear jeans to non-desk job work, so I can get some good wears in. The 21 indigo and 21 ib are by far my two favorites. I like the 16oz slub, too, although the back rise is a little lower than the other 888s. At least my pair is.

Little ride today

65 wears in, ️
Normal camera mode

Portrait mode

I’ve been rocking stacks on this pair, which I usually don’t do, but loving the results. Cuffing these makes the opening look a bit wide for my liking. The color on these is hard to capture in photos especially because of the sheen, so I figured I’d show a couple modes. Other than mode, I haven’t tinkered with settings

@WhiskeySandwich did you hem or stack the factory inseam? Marvelous!
