[olblue]

@Oaktavia appreciated my man gonna be fun to compare notes here soon ‍️

[olblue]

@Mizmazzle I feel you buddy. Love all my pairs but the 888-XHS is my bread and butter will always go back to this fit and denim

@olblue These are looking great, come the end of the year and they will be absolutely stellar. Nothing beats XHS in my opinion.

@olblue looking fantastic!

Guys, it's getting warmer and warmer now. 25oz are very hot inside buildings.

Not if you blast air conditioning...but I don't do that until it is HOT outside, steady 80s-90sF. Springtime is warmer indoors than summer for that reason. At least at my house anyway. I try to wear XHS all year around (but that's only because I'm obsessed with it) with this in mine but that can be tricky when being outside away from AC for any extended period of time.

@Oaktavia

Supposed to be 90 today here, and I ride my bike to work. My 14 oz SBR (pic) will be tested for the first time in the heat.

I picked up my UHRs this morning and then quickly put them down haha

[olblue]

@JunkPants thanks buddy, couldn’t agree more XHS is my king

[olblue]

@DeeDee85 thanks my man keeping em raw as long as possible

[Oaktavia]

@drewfonse be aware that 14oz may be the "lightest" denim IH makes, it is not the most breathable.

[drewfonse]

@Oaktavia

And it’s true.

But I find them more comfortable when it gets warm. Both the 142s and the SBR fit a little more loosely than my other 888 denim, so that helps.

I had the 142s towards the end of the Summer last year and they were bearable. The OG 21oz are surprisingly breathable.

Tomorrow will be 80 and will likely be the last day at lower than 85 for a while. I’ll trot out the UHRs one last time until the Fall.

[Oaktavia]

@drewfonse sounds like you have it figured out. Where are you located?

[drewfonse]

@Oaktavia

Definitely don’t have it all figured out, but I’ve learned to only buy IH jeans, at least.

(I think your NC is prettier)

@Giles Any heads ups on IH-888-XHS restock?

[Alex]

@Yoprst nope, they were due in March so I assume they will come soon

[Yoprst]

@Alex "soon" is rather stretchable definition. Anywhere in May or summer time?

[Alex]

@Yoprst if i could have been more accurate, i would have

[Yoprst]

@Alex Thanx. I took it there so many factors involved in to the process of delivery of a certain batch of denim products that even crystal ball is unable to help with prediction

[Alex]

@Yoprst a combination of the crystal ball not working, and the fact that Japanese people seem to be very poor at admitting when they are running behind schedule, so bury their heads in the sand rather than give updated timelines

Would love to see these in SBG or Non Fade black.
