IH-888S-142ib - 14oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High-Rise Tapered Jeans - Indigo/Blk
-
@Sody101 a 21oz should be in every collection, or at least in every IH collection. I had the 21ib but i prefer the XHSib denim above that one. But i also have the 14oz denim but then in the regular indigo version. Since the 21ib doesn’t seem to come back anytime soon i should go with the XHSib since they’re restocking them in all there cuts. If XHS is to heavy for you then i should go with the 14oz and if you like them with the stitching like on there 21 or 25oz counterparts there’s also a 14oz with the yellow stitching available. 21oz is very cosy and soft especially when you wear them for a while. 14oz has a tighter weave which makes them a little less breathable and less joggingpants style but is a easy to wear denim for sure! Hope it helps!

@Heavy_blue
Thank you for the input. Basically need to decide:
14oz IB
21oz indigo
21oz fade to greyI’m in no rush thankfully. I honestly don’t know my appetite for 25oz. Just looking to commemorate some money coming in during March for a big deal closing. I’m also afraid that when I get some Iron Hearts, I won’t want to put my Samurai’s back on! lol

@Sody101 you’re right on that.. i tried it once.. to turn my back.. and just when i thought i was out they pulled me back in! And i love it
-
I can’t tell if these are blue or black. Are they blue on the outside and black inside?
-
@jmceachern My 25 oz ib has a navy blue appearance when new on the outside and are black on the inside.

@jmceachern very slowly. About 3 months wear or so.
-
@jmceachern the warp is indigo, the weft is black. The face of the denim is a very dark blue, the reverse is black
-
@Alex Thanks.
-
@bluemantra Looking good! Like the contrast.
-
Can confirm the presence of this extremely dope denim on my body. Thanks, as always, to the IH team for helping me find the right pair. I started wobbling on my bike ride in today, looking down, thinking “are these purple? Nah…, but kind of?”
Pictures later.

Can any one tell me if the method/nature of dye somehow influences the denim itself, it's features?
I started wearing my 888 14oz ib recently and noticed a certain difference in softness and overall feeling with my 888 14oz indigo dyed pair. Subjectively ib feels softer and even thiner then indigo dyed one. Are there two identical denims being used? Love them both, just curious -
@Yoprst I’ve tried to theorize about this too. They do all feel pretty different. My 14oz pairs seem to have only weight in common, as they kinda have different drapes. I’m sure yarn details are the same aside from the dye, and I know a dyed weft also changes the fabric characteristics. Same with all my 21oz. None feel the same, they drape a little differently and have a different hand. I’m sure there are also variances in batches too, maybe from small tension differences or minor differences in the cotton. But too many variables to put a finger on really.

@WhiskeySandwich thanx for the input. Let's see what IHUK team has to tell in this regard, condition they are willing to reveal their secrets
-
IB matches different colors and shades really cool. Awesome combo with classic indigo

@Alex Are there any plans to release indigo/black 19oz/21oz/25oz jeans in the foreseeable future?

XHSib is in production, there are no plans for the other two currently
