IH-888-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/blk

[Oaktavia]

@worn2fade sorry, guy. I update my fade photos on here pretty regularly, which I greatly enjoy. I would hope that the spirit of the forum consists of sharing The Way of the fade journey over restock updates. You will get yours when the time comes my friend.

@Oaktavia the fade updates from the community are stellar. I love seeing the possibilities of the different fabrics and cuts. As a result, I change my mind constantly on what I want next because I’m always finding new inspo. Every time I see XHSib fades I want to get a pair!

[worn2fade]

@Oaktavia man, I truly enjoy every update on every thread I take the time to watch! Those fade updates are definitely more valuable to me than a restock update - just sharing how I’m bummed that on the next drop I won’t be able to grab them - and I know the next drop is due either this or next month!

[Oaktavia]

@worn2fade in times like these I put the drops on ice if needed. Do you have a bucket?

[worn2fade]

@Oaktavia If this is a figure of speech and “bucket” translates to “money,” then no haha. We got our wedding date set for January 10th so all denim purchases are on a halt.

[Oaktavia]

@worn2fade congratulations again man, definitely a great reason to put the denim purchases on pause.

Post wash photos on a cloudy day.

@Oaktavia Wow those 888 sure are looking great.

[Oaktavia]

@twin thank you kindly my XHSib brother.

@Oaktavia Welcome my XHSib brother.

@ShopatIronHeart hey guys from memory these were due for late September. Have you by any chance received some update on a delivery window?
Many thanks,

[JoshC]

@tvaillant75 No updates at the moment, but I would hope October will be the one, we are just waiting for Japan to give us the nod they are ready.

Sunlight at the treeline

NEEEEOOOONNNN blue. Killer!! I’m currently working on the 25oz XHS, these ibs will be my next 888.

[m4xime]

The colours on these are insane ...

[akeno93]

Nice! The sunlight really brings out the contrast in blues. Been wanting to pick up a pair once they restock.

[Bobcat Sig]

And… restock notification submitted. I figure with how often these are released, picking up a pair for wear later will be a good thing. Keeps from waiting when I’m finally ready. You know, build that bench strength.

Middle 3 buttons on my fly have been regularly popping open lately after stretching. I took them to the seamstress asking for a couple stitches on each button hole. Got a weird look and a lot of back and forth but hoping she can hook it up. Funny there was no mention about the weight of the fabric, she was just really concerned I wouldn’t be able to button them afterward. I should’ve told her about my bruised thumbs after the first few days of wear…
