      Do these have black pocket bags and rear pocket linings? I love the black arcs. I know they don't do preorders but I need to buy myself a $400 voucher so I have the money ready to go as soon as they are ready.

      @Matty123 how heavy and soft do they feel compared to the 888-NT? I'd ask vs. regular XHS but I dont think you own a pair of those.

        Also IDK how far along these are in the planning phase. But in lieu of the regular veg tanned ptach a black tea core patch would be pretty sick.

          Hey Mike, @Filthy these have regular canvas colored pocket bags, and  yes the rear pockets are lined.i thought the arcs were black as well but Giles told me they are navy. They are absolutely softer out of the bag than the NT UHR,  but not as soft as the PIH5DCS. Maybe the black yarn is a little stiffer?? Regardless they are muc softer than the NT

          Maybe so. Maybe not

                I'm fantasizing about wearing these right now. I imagine them being uncomfortable because I sized down. I'm so excited for these.

                  A black leather patch (e.g. like on the 9666Z) and navy arcs for the 555XHSib as well have my vote, too. Note that the 21 oz SuperBlack denim is pretty rigid and can stand on its own so I imagine the XHSib is gonna be pretty tough as well. Tougher than the usual XHS.

                    Was thinking tea core would be cool because it would do this:

                    https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=7935.msg421286#msg421286

                    Edit: also the embossed text would probably stay black and crack. Because it is below the surface protecting it from any friction.

                      Yeah it’s def rigid but the UHR is more so IMO.

                          It's all good Giles. When is your fictional expected release date? (I need to see if I have to go pawn some of my stuff or not).

                                  I imagine them looking close to @Brock 's pair when fully trashed- but with ever darker lowlights and a black inside.

                                  Pic is stolen from Brock in the contest thread.

                                      I don’t know why , I have the feeling this denim will not be a Guick fader. Fingers crossed.

                                      Hope to see fade sample from Matty soon

                                        I think the indigo is gonna fade pretty fast imo. The Black won’t fade at all…. but we’ll
                                        See soon. I sent them to indigo proof for hemming. Have em back in about a week.

                                        Maybe so. Maybe not

                                          Considering it’s the regular indigo 25oz denim for the warp. That fades relatively quickly and with high contrast. However, I think the black weft will downplay that. Only time will tell. Matt has to get that pair back and start living in them 24/7 since were all so damn curious. This is like the coolest science denim experiment ever
