@WhiskeySandwich Sorry for the late reply, I must start being more active in the forum again.
I used Fiebing's Black Leather Dye. Easy to apply, great finish and affordable.

can't wait for the restock. if anyone is also in desperate need of another pair, i think a denim house in indonesia still have a few pairs.

@lauclive
I am desperate too, waiting for this restock almost a year already.

After owning many pairs of indigo jeans, I finally picked up a pair of 888SOD-21. While these start out pretty black, they'll end up with indigo showing through. For a pair that starts out black and stays that way, I'm guessing the pull of SBG may be too great to resist

SBG won't stay black, it will fade. For black jeans that will stay black, you want the IH-888S-SB:

^ Ah, thank you EdH. Decisions, decisions ...

I had no idea these have been out of stock. I lucked out and was able to snag a pair in my size via Reloved! I have the 888S-21ib and 888-XHSib, so these will add some diversity to the small collection. I’m looking forward to putting some fades after seeing all the faded SBG.

**EDIT
Also, wanted to add that the Iron Heart team is amazing. I placed the order on February 7th. They contacted me to verify my size/hem, hemmed the jeans, shipped, and delivered in California on February 12th! That’s ridiculously impressive!

Thanks! I’m a huge fan of the 888 cut. It works really well for me.

[sophisto000]

Those jeans look great @caithangkhanh.
What are those boots you’ve got on your feet there??

[RJScheuerle]

Crappy mirror shot but these take all my problems with my 14 oz 777s (slightly too tight, waist too big, rise too low) and fix em like they were tailored for me. I wear a 33 in 777. These I am a 32. I was worried the thighs would be too big. But they’re just right

Thanks @Miiks for sending these my way from Finland to Joshua Tree. I have a feeling these are going to quickly become my daily drivers. My mister freedom awa ai lot 64s will have to take a breather.

[Mizmazzle]

@RJScheuerle congrats man!! 888s are the perfect cut in my opinion.

Thanks @sophisto000! These boots are a collaboration between Viberg and Lost & Found. It’s the Side Zip Boot in Nero Washed Kangaroo on their 2030CH last. With two young kids, I needed a nice zip boot for ease on putting on and taking off quickly. These checked all the right boxes for me. The washed kangaroo is super soft and gets better with age.

[sophisto000]

@caithangkhanh. Thanks for the reply, they’re def beauties; enjoy!!

[RJScheuerle]

@Mizmazzle I think perfect cut for black jeans. For my blues I just love mister freedom lot 64s. They feel perfectly vintage.

My current blue obsession is their lot 64 outlaw midnights. Dark inky blue warp and black weft with fun frogmouth pockets.

I like more modern jeans tho for my blacks.

[RJScheuerle]

@caithangkhanh are those the 21 OD? They’re looking phenomenal.

[caithangkhanh]

@RJScheuerle they kinda look like OD in the picture, but these are the 888 XHSib.

[RJScheuerle]

@caithangkhanh love em. They’re turning out great.

[WhiskeySandwich]

I love how this patch is cracking like this. Are these branded?
