^^^^YES^^^^

I think everyone needs one pair of black jeans. Maybe it's OD, maybe it's SBG, maybe it's BB, but black goes with practically everything and stands out in a sea of blue.

And maybe it's just me but while I see great blue denim fades regularly, a well-faded pair of black jeans with pops of grey really catches my attention.

No doubt about that. As stated I have two which renders a third pair really unnecessary, sadly.

Called it the Devil wears black jeans….

Yeah, that was more for Z.  You've been around long enough, R. I trust that you have a rainbow of denim by this point

I do love a good metaphor and that is a bloody great one.

Congrats to those who have picked up a pair of MBMF’s!!!!

@Giles:

@Kasi:

Maybe this Mad black 25oz will open the door for the other fits to come in the near future

If these sell well, we will do other cuts in 25oz MBMF.

EVERYONE pick up a pair!!!! We need more cuts!

It seems to me like these sold pretty well. Although there were only a few pairs to begin with, so…

Good man, but I think you sixed, when you should have twoed on the thigh dims.

A comparison between the 888XHSMB, 888SBG, and 888SOD:

Ready to get indigo all over these

Whoops!  Good catch.  Fixed!

It's really hard to properly capture the black on these…that's why I put a picture comparing it to two others.  It's definitely the darkest of the bunch.

And one last one to prove it's really dark (check it out vs the 9527j):

Looking really good buddy. Interested to hear about the stretch over the next few days…

Thanks!  They feel great.

Waist is a bit bigger than needed so I don't expect much stretch there.  But I'll note the changes over the next week or so.

These are everything I dreamed of! I imagine them reaching untold levels of 25oz. sweatpantsy softness.

They badass… I know...

Given poor @Unity and her struggles, is hemming on these suspended currently @Chesson ?

The stock of 34's keeps on changing and I keep on coming back to drool….

[Paul9221]

I've got measurement updates for you @neph93 but they're not exciting because I didn't size down.

My waist normally goes from 32.25" to 33" depending on my stage in dieting and I didn't want to risk stretching the size 32's 31.3" waist all the way to 33".  So, I went with the size 33 and the 32.6" waist, which fit great straight out of the bag.  A bit torn on whether I should've sized down but they feel great and look good, so /shrug.

That said, here's the change after 9 days of wear:

• waist: no change
• thigh: +0.1cm
• inseam: -0.8cm

Sorry for the lack of stretch info, but hey, look at that inseam shrink!
