IH-888S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise SBG

@Paul9221:

I don't have any SBG, do I have to account for any shrinkage with those measurements?

If it is the same as earlier batches of SBG then yes. On a par with XHS.

If @Alex gets his act together and ships me a pair of W33 then I will happily do the shrink test and document it for the greater good [emoji16][emoji23]

Neph, if I remember correctly from my constant lurking, it's fair to say that the 21oz fabric stretches a significant amount. Looks like I'm in between tag 31 and 32. I will probably go tag 31.

[neph93]

The SBG stretches like all denim, and while it is essentially the same base as the regular 21oz in terms of the materials and weave, my experience is that it doesn’t stretch quite as readily as the regular 21oz. You’ll get an inch for sure after shrinkage. I’d go for a starting measurement about the same as you want them to end up, maybe half an inch less.

[Paul9221]

Oh, well I'm glad I asked!  What's the shrinkage supposed to be after a soak/wash?  I'm trying to dig up my XHSiB order for the details.

Looks like my XHSib went from 32" in the waist to 31.5" and 12.65" in the thigh to 12.25".  Should I expect something similar with these?

Around about that. Go look at the IH-555-SBG thread there were a couple of tests done there. If I remember correctly they a little under an inch in the waist, an inch or so on the inseam and about a third of an inch in the thigh.

Wait for someone from the crew to confirm that this behaves like earlier batches of the SBG denim. It probably does, but it's best to know for sure.

We asked for these to be one washed unlike the 555-03, so expect no shrinkage. To be sure, I’m going to shrink test a pair now though. Will post measurements ASAP, but will be close to launch time

Oh, that's good to know!  We appreciate your efforts!

[CMastri]

That definitely clears up my waste measurement concerns.. I’m somehow more pumped for this pair now.

Update:

Thanks, England. Measurments will come as soon as they can, but likely after launch. Please treat these as one washed

[neph93]

They shrunk beyond vanishing point!

@neph93

My thought exactly.  Poof!

[spitfiredealer]

Are these going to be in continuous production? Not exactly the best time for me to be buying jeans at the moment.

I believe that is the plan. The aim is to have all core cuts in continuous production in the core denims.

Sweet, might grab a pair for the winter at work then

I'm pumped for you picking these up!  I can't think of anyone that fades gear like you

[spitfiredealer]

Thank you ^^^

I have always wanted to fade a pair of this denim but could never get the 555’s to work. Going back to work next week so hopefully the bank balance will start to look better and I can grab a pair

Thanks, Alex!

That's pretty minimal shrink at high temps. If we stick to cold soaks, maybe even warm soaks, shrinkage should be negligible?

[Alex]

I would have though so, yes

Snagged a pair of these thanks to Graham and Adam for the assist!  I love the fit.  I both welcome the grey fade and hope it doesn't come too soon
