IH-888S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
These are such great jeans. Ok, do they have the character of some of the other denims? No. Maybe aren’t going to high contrast fade as much, but man are they comfortable and they look sharp.

This denim is unfairly ignored by many IH adherents but I find it more than worthy

@Yoprst Fabulous pics, chilling right now in my front yard thinking exactly the same thing, months later haha. The lighter weight IH offerings sometimes get poo pooed here a little. I understand the love for the heavier weights, but these and the 14 SBR are what I reach for when I want comfort. And they still look amazing.
Some of the 14oz fade shots are stunning.

Extremely unflattering photo haha, but you can the character starting. Maybe 30-40 wears and a few washes
-
This denim continues to impress. Right up there with the 21oz indigo as my fave. 14 broken twill is incredible too, sad to see it was a one shot.

91 wears and six washes. I get these nasty a lot thanks to warm weather activities, but they seem to be pretty contrasty. These are slow overall to fade but are getting some good patterns now. Being my hot weather go-to, I’m tempted to soak them with a dash of bleach in the water to experiment.
-
@WhiskeySandwich don’t do it!! These are aging so beautifully on their own
I just picked up a pair this week. Today marks 4 wears. Hoping they age the way yours have.
-
@jmp777 too late! Lol I just did a mild dash of bleach. The knees were already white from working in them and I want them lighter before I split one. Hopefully I avoided splotches!!! They’re doing a post wash now. I’ll try and post pics once dry.
-
@WhiskeySandwich I’m sure they’re gonna be awesome! Psyched to see how they turn out.
-
@jmp777 I really don’t think it did anything at all lol. They’re just really clean now haha

@WhiskeySandwich let's see some pants!
Here we go
106 wears and 8 washes, one of which had a little bleach

I’ll do a flat lay next time

@WhiskeySandwich frig yeah dude those look sick!

@Oaktavia thanks they’re my most abused pair. I do a lot of manual labor in these, and workin/ride the bike in em a lot, but they’re still decent enough to wear to the office as long as I wash em a lot. Amazing for this 90 degree humid weather. These get super shiny too if I keep em clean enough, long enough. So I try to have them in that zone if I can help it. They’re holding up really well too, the thinner denim doesn’t get that crease-fray as much in the hotspots.
-
@Oaktavia also since they’re the hot weather pair, I’m playing with lightening them up too. I’ll probably keep presoaking them with a touch of bleach since I didn’t get any ill effects.
