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

[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

@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.

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

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.

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

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

champ & mint!

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

[WhiskeySandwich]

@TinMan factory length. I have long legs and usually like the look of a cuff. Keeping them long is also good on the bike too. This time I wanted to get in a good amount of fading on the jeans before setting in any cuff creases/fades. Kind of an experiment in strategy for me.
We'll see how it goes, I'm tired of wearing holes thru cuffs, so I may just let the existing hem shred, then get them hemmed down the road as a repair, idk.

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich It's fun to have different pairs for different reasons. For example, I have my XHS hemmed high and cuffed, while my XHSib I have stacked and unhemmed. It's cool to have a variety.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia totally. I like mixing it up and have sorta assigned certain pairs to certain duties or occasions. There's a kinda overkill pragmatism that I use to justify more pairs lol

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich haha yeah buddy!
