IH-888S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise SBG

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.

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

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

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.

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

@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.

@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.

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

@WhiskeySandwich debossed

Any chance the restock is coming in soon??
I remember semi recently the tentative restock months being April/May, then another IHUK team member updated Aug/Sept I think. Itching pretty bad to pick these up and hoping there’s some magic happening behind the scenes for these to materialize sooner rather than later…

@sophisto000 The last schedule update we had from Japan was back in January. At that time they were slated for August delivery. This may change/be updated when we get an updated schedule.

@AdamJ @sophisto000 we just got an update, and they are still showing August

Thanks @AdamJ @Alex

I’ve been wearing these for about two months straight. I feel like these will fade much more quickly than any other IH pair I have. Time will tell. There are already hints of grey popping out in the high wear areas. I’m excited to see how they develop over time.
