16oz Slubby Denim

[Aetas]

This ‚Slubby Denim‘ is impressive!

Last time I was as curious to hear and see more about a new denim, was at the time the Loombreaker arrived in Gosport.

@mclaincausey:

Impressed and mildly surprised that IH went this far into Slubville.

Not being sold in Japan

Those samples look fantastic.  I am very, very eager to purchase a pair of the IH-634S-SLB.

[Seul]

Same but would/ will go for the 888's…

[J-IV]

Oh fcuk they're here and better than I imagined.
Guess I'll start saving up now…

[goosehd]

Thanks G!  Look forward to more updates on how this one evolves.

[Nskelton]

That type 2 is quite nice. Might have to hold out for a pair of 555s too.

[Paul9221]

I'm pumped for that type 2!

[xtcclassic]

Jesus H. Christ that’s slubby!  ??? 

[Jett129]

Trying not to get too excited about that insanely cool Type II.

[ROman]

I will go for the 888's, type 2 depends on measurements.

looks beautiful. especially with all that texture. definitely something different compared to the usual.

@goosehd:

@Steve @Giles Can you give us your initial impressions of this denim?  Fabric hand and breathability.

It looks like it is going to be fantastic addition to the lineup.

@goosehd Had it on yesterday afternoon, and on again today, first impression - love the weight of it, really comfortable and will be perfect for the spring/summer months. I have the IHJ-71, which is 18oz, so will be good to compare over time

[Giles]

Over-engineered is my starting point….

Triple chain-stitched hem.....

[Giles]

Not sure about the other cuts, but my 666 have taped pocket openings - nice touch…..

[Nik]

Wow turned out really nice, looks like a great fabric. Is this just sample phase, or will these be on sale soon?

[Giles]

Just samples….

[Nik]

Cool. I'm curious, how does sampling work? If the team can ever use an extra pair of legs I would be happy to volunteer!

[Giles]

@Alex checked the other 4 cuts.  Only the IH-666S-SLB have the taped pocket openings.

I remember now, that when I specced the original IH-666S many moons ago, I specifically asked for taped pocket openings on them…..

I asked @Graham to check other 666 models. and they all have the taped pocket linings except the 21oz right and left-hand twills (both of which were initiated by Haraki).  So it looks like all 666 jeans initiated by us have inherited this feature…..

@Steve Thank you!
