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

[Nik]

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

@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.

@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!

[TinMan]

@Oaktavia @WhiskeySandwich totally agree fellas. I got unhemed for cuffing, and different hems for different moods! Today is a cuff day, I don’t ride but here lately I have been experimenting with a high water hem. Something I historically have never done. Kind of like a tool set, can never have to many..

@WhiskeySandwich BTW, the Fading wher the pants stacked is crazy cool! Like 3d looking!

[TinMan]

Never tried a unhemmed stack, I definitely have more interest now!

Same here until recently.

Works very well with tapered fits. Oddly enough stacks were really popular around here before tapered fits came about. Go figure.

[TinMan]

@Matt I remember those days.. I was always scared to try

[WhiskeySandwich]

75 wears. Got my notes game down now lol. Slowing on these and trying to get the sbg caught up.

[Oaktavia]

Right on right on man looking awesome with them fades.

[Elephantricity]

Any idea on when more sizes will be in stock?

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Elephantricity Last word on these was that there are currently no plans to run them again. Which bums me out because they're amazing.
