IH-555S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Slim Cut Jeans - Superblack (Fades To Grey)
-
@beef_bonanza amazing! I love how the tonal arcs have become contrast arcs
-
@don_pipone yeah man. This is why I prefer tonal arcs. You can make them really pop by fading the surrounding fabric
-
@beef_bonanza yeah, that's what I love about them too. Unfortunately I can't wear 555s anymore (fit-wise) and there are no indigo 777s with tonal arcs
-
@beef_bonanza sorry, newb question. What is a tonal arc?
-
@chillmonroe Usually the arcs on the back pockets are stitched in a different coloured yarn than the denim (contrast). The black denims and the original 555 21oz have them in the same colour making them tonal.
-
@don_pipone ah. Thanks!
-
@don_pipone I would not go for 555 on new jeans either anymore. However, I have to cope with them as they are not totally worn out yet. 10 years ago when I bought them, they could not be skinny enough. Now I have to pay the bill:-)
And somehow especially on black jeans I still like the slim cut for a change. Certainly not for everydayinsta: denim_demon
-
@beef_bonanza Wow they are fantastic.
-
@beef_bonanza haha, I can relate with the black denim. Somehow I also prefer them on the slimmer side. Probably it‘s some kind of 80s/90s Slash-like skinny ripped black jeans thing
-
@don_pipone I cannot deny, that I had similar pictures in my head when typing this
-
@don_pipone What about just removing arcs? At least brand new they look quite similar. But not sure how they fade.
See here, thought these were tonal arc at first.

@moskiitto the point, @beef_bonanza and I were referring to is that tonal arcs, whilst „invisible“ in the beginning, will reveal and become more prominent over time, as the dye of the surrounding denim is fading away slowly. Basically, you start with „no“ arcs but end up with. That specific look is what we and probably others are after.
-
@don_pipone I see makes sense, yeah they do look cool once faded. This makes me appreciate them in my 888-xhsib, thanks.
-
Tonal arcs, always and forever.
-
Thank you ChatGPT very cool
-
Not fitting to the SBG, but to the latest arcs conversation: Iron Heart was doing the exact opposite with the PIH5DCT by using a baby blue and a white thread. Super contrast when new. Almost hidden when the surrounding fabric reaches the same colour.

@beef_bonanza I am in love!!!!!!!!
