IH-888S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise SBG
-
@AdamJ Nice yeah I need to get mine more in the regular rotation, have just had other things I've been more keen on fading.
@popvulture Sounds good. I have done a soapy soak with these, obviously no issues there, but have thought about wash on delicate with no spin. Safer option is to stick with the tub though.
-
@natefreezy if you’ve already done one soak, that should help a good bit. Not sure if anyone else wants to confirm this, but I’ve found you’re at the biggest risk of marbling with the first time they hit water, and it gets a little easier each time after (makes sense, as they’re gonna lose a little more dye with each wash/soak). Still would definitely do the delicate/no spin in the washer though.

Did I see correctly on IG these are dropping this week?
-
@pfw821 Not these. The 634S-SBG. These hopefully soon too.

argh
-
@popvulture I can confirm. After a few washes I’ve found that marbling becomes way less a factor.

Looking into 21oz and SBG. Does the 888 generally have the most relaxed seat of all the styles at the moment? I get so confused with all the high rise/ medium rise etc.
I have freenote portolas and they are a spot on fit with approx 13 inch rise. Looking at size 38 on these it's 12.7 which is close enough. -
@Northman That's the idea with the 888's. I wouldn't call it a 'high rise', def more medium imo, but higher than any other IH cut. I size 888's for the waist and the rest is roomy, yet trim, depending on your build. If your Freenotes are your perfect fit, I'd just measure them the "Iron Heart way", and compare them to the chart to get an idea how they'll feel. 888 is forgiving and so is the SBG, they'll stretch at least an inch in the waist.
-
@WhiskeySandwich Thanks. The measurements are obviously gonna change a bit for the next run but if they are somewhat the same looks like its 888 and my usual waist size then.
-
@Northman minor detail about the 888 too is that with the extra rise, you'd typically wear them higher on your waist than where you may be used to. So you may be slimmer there than if you wear them on your hips. I wear mine a hair below the waistband of my boxers and have plenty of crotch room with minimal sag. If you like a slimmer fit, and can get away with a smaller waist, it works to size down a little, but thats all you
-
Any more information on when the restock will happen?
-
-
No, we will let you know when they are going to arrive, when we have more information

I got the freenote portola black grey, but I am telling myself I need a 21oz fade to grey jeans. I guess it's justification enough, since they are completely different weight + I don't have any IH jeans yet.
