Now is the time to start a collective petition to Haraki/Giles-san asking for the revival of the 21oz ib and 19oz ib products
️
A petition will make no difference to what we do. We know what people want, we just have to prioritise what we make.

Got that shipping notification!!!
Still waiting but I am getting mine hemmed and they are probably swamped.
Same. Honestly, the longer it takes the better for me. I can’t wear them til 2027 so the less days they’re in my closet the less days I’m tempted lol.

I know it was just a trial balloon
-
@worn2fade you have better willpower than me.
-
Mine will be going straight on until the weather gets too warm.

@Oaktavia magic dude. I dig the little breakages on the combs of the one knee. I can’t for the life of me get that to happen on my pairs.
-
@Davids_denim it's happening a lot more on my 888SUHR. I read somewhere on the interwebs that the breakage happens to unwashed jeans, but I have been washing mine.
-
@Oaktavia yeah that’s been my assumption but my current pair is still dry at the 6 month mark and has zero damage anywhere.
-
Mine are out for delivery
-
Mine are supposed to come today!! First order with DHL, pretty pumped for these to land!

@Giles Аny plans for indigo/indigo products?

Been waiting over a year for these jeans and I have done everything to find some other jeans that could take the spot of interest, but to be honest nothing comes even close. I've also checked the normal xhs in person, but even that didn't interest nearly as much as xhsib. That shiny inky navy black when brand new, and then eventually turning into high contrast due to the black weft always being there for contrast, perfect.. I believe I would prefer indigo/black easily even over xhs indigo/indigo.
Thanks for the inspiration on these jeans all of you guys who have posted, really helped a lot.I ordered size 34 and asked for big waist. In hopes for around 34.5" measurement, Alex freeman found 34.6" for me which was perfect. And yeah the size 34, thank god I was ready to rumble right when they were released, didn't miss them luckily.
Mine were already delivered yesterday before midday, that is less than 24 hours after confirming the waist measurements, wow!I've come to realize if jeans are not comfortable, I will simply not wear them, no matter how good they look. And I gotta say extremely happy with the fit. They don't look bad to me at least and I feel surprisingly comfortable even when they are brand new xhs.
My decision is to go for no soak, no wash, no hem, no cuff, full stack, inspired by the one and only @twin. I really enjoy stacks a lot but the heel rubbing when not wearing shoes and then breaking early is an issue. So inspired by haraki I am thinking of going with the half cuff just to save the heel rubbing, don't love the look of that but enjoy the convenience of the no rubbing and I get my stacks. But please let me know if you have other ideas.
First buttoning I took the true experience, with no tools used. At least 30min to get them fully buttoned and as a bonus blister on thumb
Thanks for the read, if you survived here. Happy to see when others get theirs as well!
-
@moskiitto dude the beginning of your essay there had me thinking you were not happy with these haha. I’m stoked you love them dude & the shipping to you was insanely quick!
I also asked for the biggest size 34 measurements and ironically enough, also got one with a 34.6” waist.
They look great man, looking forward to seeing how you hammer them.
-
Also I know you want to keep them dry but doing that soak will eat up an inch off that inseam. May be worth it for ya, it’ll eliminate part of the cuff you technically don’t want.
-
My pair just arrived! It’s my first 888 cut, I’m usually a 777 guy so it’s going to take a little adjustment to get used to the rise on these, but I’m glad to see that classic slim taper is still there.
I had planned to use these for Indigo Ivitiational year 6, but I heard @worn2fade mention that contest isn’t until 2027? If so I don’t think I can wait. these are too good for me to keep on ice. Also, I notice some indigo loss just from trying them on!
-
Sounds like there is going to be a lot of IB in year 6
-
@worn2fade Haha, for sure love the xhsib too much. You were also big inspiration in terms of fit, since I kind of wanted to go size 35 to not feel tight anywhere, but I know that would been a mistake. I knew I could pull 34 easily since when I compare how yours fit tighter and you hammer them! So thanks for that. Also 888s look so good on you, waiting to see some 888-xhsib fit checks from you when you get them.
-
@worn2fade Yeah this would be the most logical. There is just something about the denim being unwashed and then keeping it dry. Thanks for tips though!
