IH-888S-21ib - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/Blk

[drewfonse]

Yeah, just chiming in, finally took a few basic pics of different IH pairs. This one is special. Ultra soft and comfortable, great drape, and even early on, some hints of electric blue popping through. Stunning denim.

888 is the only thing I’ll wear now, as many weights and colors as I can afford while avoiding the quizzical “are those new?” look from my wife

100-5, getting close

Still holding out on a wash?

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia yup, 5 till I hit 100 and wash it. 15 on the SBG. So another couple weeks probably.

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich nice man nice. Looking forward to seeing them after!

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia yeah I’m psyched, loving how both are looking already. Perfect timing too cuz I’m bout ready to switch to these 14oz and hit em hard.

100 wears, no wash. Will check back after they dry from the machine. Love how these evolve.

@WhiskeySandwich looking so cool! You make them shine

[WhiskeySandwich]

And after the machine

@WhiskeySandwich great job!!

[WhiskeySandwich]

bro, my post glitched out and got lost! attempted redo:

I washed cold but they still snugged up quite a bit. Wore them for a couple hours last night and they stretched back out a bit. Will require some more work. Creases seem to be resetting easily in their original locations. These are definitely the most contrasty fades I've had after 100 wears. My SBG hits 100 wears today too! So I'll be doing the same treatment as a first wash on those soon and posting a comparison. The blacks wont be as contrasty for sure, but I'm psyched to see how they turn out!

@WhiskeySandwich

Perfect

[WhiskeySandwich]

Their insides look weird. Commence operation washy-washy.

I hope these come back at some point. I only have like 25-30 wears and a couple of washes, but they just brighten up and soften so nicely. I got a little worried because with a cold wash hang dry they really tightened up, but within an hour of wearing they had really opened up. Awesome denim.

Obligatory on break shot
