@spitfiredealer:

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

Worn with the IHSH-33-black:

@Paul9221 well done sir… I have massive want for these. It will happen one day but is not possible right now. In the meantime I will just have to sit here and deal with my intense envy of you 

[AdamC]

They look great @Paul9221 - I am with you @neph93 these will happen for me one day too!

[Graham]

Love it @Paul9221 cheers for checking in!

Can't wait to try these bad boys on, along with everything else when I am back!

Is this the same "SBG" denim that what was used in below Vater & Sohn collab?

[Giles]

Yes…

[Jdub]

Well giddy up.

Anyone have any experience wearing these for some time? If so, what is the consensus on stretching?

Do they stretch in the waist as much as the 21oz. indigo 888s?

The SBG stretches, but a little slower than the standard 21oz, and possibly not quite as much.

[edubz]

Okay cool. Do you think i might get atleast an inch of stretch in the waist?

Im asking because, I just got a pair in the mail and they are the same size as my indigo 888s, though they feel a little tight. I remember buying my 888s on the tighter side, and they stretched out a lot, maybe even a little more than I would have wanted them too. Just want to make sure that these will give enough, I cannot imagine being happy with the next size up.

You should get an inch without a problem. As said, may take a little more effort than with the 21oz, but it will get there.
