IH-888S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise SBG
-
@weftyarn that sounds great and a nice family pic Mate. 888 and 634 cuts are not made for me but 555 and 777 are my Cuts. Can't wait to start fading cause it is my first SBG
-
Thanks all, have a pair of 34 SBGs on the way!
-
Only a couple wears so far but I’m loving these. I think I nailed the fit with a 34.
-
Mine are on the way, I’m definitely going to give them some wear this Winter.
-
Excellent fit @boogersquish
-
Love the way these look. I’m glad I took the plunge on a pair of black IH. My collection is complete. Yeah right….
-
@weftyarn that would be dope! Mine get back from hemming today. I'll be a couple days behind schedule, but hyped!
-
Got mine today, pure quality and they fit perfectly. Comfortably snug in waist. Really nice.
-
Hi all - fit question. Just got mine today and there's pretty comfortable out of the bag in a 34. I'd only want the waist to loosen up slightly, but would not say they're currently tight in the waist. Is that too big? Or do you only get an inch of stretch in the waist if you're actually stretching them out that much to fit? I don't have the 33 to compare but was worried they could be too small.
Again, these are pretty comfy right now just want to make sure they won't end up being too big...
-
Hi there. The 21oz streches in the pressure areas. Hard to tell from the picture but the fit looks pretty good to me. Dont hey stay on your waist right wirhout dropping or sagging? Gow much room.you have on the thigh?
-
Hi - thanks. Yes thigh is about perfect (not tight or loose, just slightly hugging) and they don't drop or sag. I'd say the fit currently is good but that's before any stretching. I wouldn't say waist is tight currently. With the 33 I'd definitely have to stretch into the right fit but not sure if that's a better answer.
-
Depends how you like your jeans to fit. In.the first picture looks like you can go to 33 and get them to look like that with wear. Usually the common advice that you will get is to start on the slightly snug side and stretch them with wear.
-
I agree with @yannis . They don't look bad as-is at all, and I've never had a pair of IH stretch so much that they became unflattering/unwearable, rather just a tad too big for my liking but still manageable. But yep, I bet you could go a size down if what you're after is a real trim but comfortable fit. But I'll also agree with @weftyarn that the SBG doesn't seem to stretch as much as the regular 21oz.
-
Yup, also agree with @popvulture that you may be able to make a 33 work but the question is how much comfort you’re willing to give up for that until you reach the desired stretch.
With the 34, how far away from you, if at all, can you pull away the closed top button? I see you’re able to tuck a tee, would you be able to tuck a UHF too? That would probably be a red flag for me, unless you’re planning to always tuck something.
-
@weftyarn I can pull away about an inch right at button. Not sure a UHF would tuck in (don't have one) but a thinner button down without much problem.
Ok might need to suck it up and get the 33 and see if it seems feasible to break in!
-
@natefreezy another factor to consider is if you soak/ wash them before wearing. They will tighten up a bit and probably get you to that snugger feel you’re looking for. Then they will stretch still…but like others have said, they won’t just stretch to max stretch. They will only stretch to the pressure point your body pushes them to….up to 1-1.25” beyond waist measurement before wash(maybe a bit more with a lot of pressure)
I wore my SBGs all summer and they did stretch. Maybe not quite as fast as regular 21oz…but they will stretch. It didn’t take all summer for them to stretch either. I’d say with daily wear they will stretch within a couple weeks.
-
@natefreezy bro, those look good on you! Gonna stretch to where they need to be after few wears, when they get little loose get a belt on that thing til
Its time to wash then see those fades!!!
