      ^ excellent point!

      I went hiking in the Dolomites with mine when I first got them. Did the trick quite nicely. Haha

      Totally jealous! Went there as a 13 year old way, way before the inception of IH haha. What a great way to get them going.

        Yep, let's also add "having patience" on the "how to stretch your SBG" list 😂

            Wearing the 888 142s right now, highly recommended to people who live in warmer climates. Look great, feel great.

              Just arrived - many thanks to @AdamJ and @Graham:

              Screenshot 2024-01-08 at 13.00.28.png

              The waist measures exactly 76cm / 30" (measured the IH-way) right now. I went for a waist size that is 1" below what I wanted to achieve like I did with my Indigo 21oz 888, but these are so comfortable right out of the box that they don't even feel snug to begin with. Unless I forget, I'll update the thread every two weeks with my experience regarding the stretch progress. In the name of "science", of course...

                      @Mizmazzle they just sat nicely, snug not tight. Now a little looser, but not loose.

                          @natefreezy I'm rocking these the same as my 21ib (exclusively rotating these two pairs), stock length, stacked, no cuff. I really like the way the 21oz stacks up and fades. I'll probably do a single 2" cuff later on after those fades are etched. More theory than science I guess lol

                            Well, I was going to update the thread in two weeks, but curiosity got the best of me and I measured the waist anyway...

                            Result: Only three days of ca. 10-15 hours/day of wearing later, the waist now measures exactly 79cm / 31.1". In other words, it stretched by 1" after three days. This is the perfect result in my case, since I was, as mentioned in my original post, aiming to reach an ideal waist measurement of 31".

                            Will update the thread if I notice even more stretch in the waist or any other changes for that matter.

                              This denim continues to impress, super soft, the stacks have basically settled after less than two weeks. Creases have set. Now to fast forward a year or two to see the results.

                                  @weftyarn gorgeous!! I find I love the way black denim looks right from the start and then it just gets better and better. With indigo I prefer more once it’s started fading some. Black is just so rock and roll!!!

                                  In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                                      @weftyarn lookin great man! What’s the belt?

                                      It’s the product of a DIY with @don_pipone and Alex (ruff.de.nimes on IG) 😉
                                      Bought some veg tan leather strips, buckles and Chicago screws.
                                      We even died them with black/brown leather dye.
                                      Was great fun!

                                      Here’s the results of us three

                                      These two are mine. Wearing either one of them 90% of the time

                                        @Mizmazzle thanks mate. And absolutely agree! I like my „normal“ indigo pairs either brand new or properly faded. They really only start to look great after some proper wear. Not so with these SBGs 🙂

                                        Use it or lose it.
