I can already hear "The Ride of the Valkyries" from "Apocalypse Now"... Lol

really ? have the 888’s always been like that?
fashion fades, denim is forever…
-
@mikemakuch71 these have, see here. There have been tonal arcs on other models, but the majority of models have contrast arcs
-
@Tago-Mago the only tonal pockets i knew of were the 555 21oz but now they are gold stitch.. how long have the 888’s been tonal? i guess i never noticed
-
@mikemakuch71 I'm basing this on the pics in this thread and my guess is from the beginning. @ShopatIronHeart tonal arcs on the 888-XHSib since inception?
-
You could always... you know... read through the thread, I've spent a good 30-40 minutes going through all the pictures on here a few times...
-
This denim is something else. Good luck to everyone on the restock tomorrow!
-
@mikemakuch71 I have longed for an 888 xhs ib contrast, maybe someday.
The 888 21oz ib’s were contrast, however, it doesn’t look like they are coming back. -
Make sure you can sign into the website and have credit card ready! I’m ready for the first 25 oz.

I’m hoping these measurements will work for me. I need a minimum inseam of 36” after washing. I understand the care guidelines specify approximately 1 inch of shrinkage in the inseam. However, I understand shrinkage is dependent on total inseam length, so I’m wondering if anyone can shed light on what I can expect on a 37” inseam after all shrinkage is accounted for? I have several pairs of jeans that are too short after their first wash or two, and I don’t want to go through that heartache again.

Based on my experience, after a soak and a wash on my XHS (not IB,) they only shrunk 1”.
I got mine hemmed to 34.5, after the initial soak they sat at 33.5” and after my first wash a couple days ago it stayed the same.
But based on @CosmoSix5 comment on his ib’s (triple 6,) he lost more than 1” in inseam if I’m not mistaken after his initial soak + wash.
-
@worn2fade I appreciate the info. I’m hoping that IH has an extra-long pair on the shelves, fingers crossed. @CosmoSix5 Can you share your experience with this fabric?
No man ever steps in the same denim twice, for it's not the same denim and he's not the same man.
-
@Conan looks like he lost 1.25”
Just to make sure I was telling you accurate info, I remeasured. Turns out, I also lost an additional .15”
I’d say to play it safe, assume you’d lose up to 1.25-1.5”
-
Maybe @Oaktavia can provide more insight since he has multiple washes on his pair?
-
IMHO the total tonal stitching would look the best with all indigo/black denim. It makes the product look less casual and stand out even more than it does with contrast one. I like it on my 14oz ib and 14oz ii jeans as well as on my 14oz ib jacket. But it is what it is, therefore take it or leave it. I would also very much appreciate if 21oz ib and 19oz ib come back into the game.
