16oz Slubby Denim
-
Any word on the 888 pants?
-
Excited to see the slub type 2, hope those delays aren't too long
-
Not that I need any more denim in my life, I am looking forward to the Type 2 jacket, and after observing the wear on @Giles slubby jeans recently, I will go for the 888's when they arrive. I could also dream about the 1955 in slubby.

Any guesstimates when the slubby 888s are going to drop?
Thanks in advance

The Type II's (IHJ-507-SLB) are ready to ship to us from Japan…....
Is this just the regular indigo or is there an OD one too?
-
I'm getting some bright blue highlights on my combs. I'm not gonna spoil them right now.

Looking great, Mike. I just got the slubby type ii and am really digging the fabric, might push me into buying some pants

Since there have been many more slub IH jeans out in the world since the original 666's, are there any more reports of stretch measurements since post 428 back in Oct 21? It seems to be some disagreement over more or less stretch compared to the 21oz. fabric. It does seem 1" is a reasonable estimate so far. Fingers crossed I ordered the right tag / actual waist.

I’ve worn 2 different pairs of these so far. I got 2” of stretch on the sample 777 pair with no back patch. And about 1.3” on the Pronto Collabs with the back patch that’s sewn in. The 16oz Slubs have some stretch in them for sure. Personally I think they stretch more than the 21oz in the waist, but I’ve seen other who’ve gotten 2” of stretch in the 21oz. Hope this helps.

That is helpful, thanks. My preferred final waist is somewhere around 35.5-36 and my options were actual waist measurements of 34.2 and 34.9 so I went with the larger of the two (tag 35). I wanted the smaller thighs of the skinnier waisted tag 34s but was really concerned they'd never really be comfortable needing at least ~1.5" stretch in the waist. I guess we'll see how they fit in a couple of days.

Adding a data point for everyone along with a question.
The 35s were too big for me so I needed to return for the 34s.
The 34.2" measurement could gently be pulled taut to 35". After maybe just 15-30 min of wear around the house the waist now measures about 35.5 and is starting to almost feel like they're too big again, but really only in the hips and seat have extra material I could do without. These are much more willing to stretch than I was expecting. It doesn't seem unreasonable, at least on this pair, that a full inch of stretch in the FLAT measurement would be possible without too much struggle. I could almost elastically stretch them that much when measuring. In other words, up to 2" in waist circumference might happen without any real effort.Having said this, I'm now a little worried they'll keep going, should I have done the 33s?
