IH-9301

ACK!  Ya killed em!  Bring back mah 9301s man!

I picked up a pair of 9301's off sufu. Really like them, the superblack denim really has such a different feel than my 634SR's. The black has a much softer hand. About this denim, a bit of a newbie question:

I understand the point/purpose of avoiding washing one's indigo or overdye jeans, but with the superblacks, is there any point it keeping these away from the wash? Of course there's no need to wash them every time they're worn, but is there any benefit at all to keeping these out of the wash?

just reading old posts on super black and noticed this was never answered.

the only reason i can think of is keeping the combs and stacks.

If I recall right, there has been some trouble with machine washing the Suberblack Shirt, as some grey marks may appear (Although they disappeared with time). I wouldn't machine wash them, but I treat all my denim this way.

Yea, the SB denim is sort of strange.  I think Hap over at Sufu has had his 9301's turn brown over the years.  Not sure if that's normal, but it's certainly rearranges my expectations.

Washing should be done gently, IMO.  I've washed my SB denim every which way possible and I don't think it's possible to permanently ruin them in the laundry.  Now, temporarily discolor…maybe a little bit. :-\

I gave my 9301's a wash when I got them, got them off Sufu BNWT, did look new/unworn but seemed to have a fair bit of hair and stuff on them, just felt better with a proper wash. Inside out, cold to lukewarm, air dry, no problems whatsoever.

Loving them so far but I try to commit most of my time to my 634sr's, they're so damn stubborn and I know I'll never break the superblack anyway.

[jacoavlu]

damn I wear my 634sr almost all the time but every time I put on my 9301 I remember how much I love these jeans

you've gotta love El . . . the guy has his own unique look - we should start a thread for him 

[gollotti]

elclintor - nice fit on those 9301's…....do they have any wear on them? They look pretty clean from the pic

[elclintor]

yeah, they were worn some, but not much..

I am in LOVE with this denim. SO SOFT! Nothing like the 666….

I'm digging the fit as well, very comfy.

[jacoavlu]

El - glad to see someone else sporting some 9301s. Isn't the denim super comfy? I was surprised how soft they were…

[elclintor]

So soft..

[madmonday]

jaco & el great fits.

how did you both size??

[elclintor]

Mine are 31's..

My Devil's are 32's but i could size down in those..

these 9301's are perfect in the waist for me.

[madmonday]
