I wouldn't say it drapes heavier, but I feel the fabric isn't anywhere near as stiff as the 409, so it just hangs on the body better. I can actually hear the fabric of the 409 when I bend my arms. I don't own a lefty, but of all the IH gear I have, the 409 is the crunchiest for lack of a better description.

In my opinion the 293 is wayyyy softer. I love both and have worn both extensively, but in my opinion they're almost complete opposites in terms of softness and drape.

@Giles @Oaktavia Thank you for the reply gentlemen. I must be do something wrong...I wore a pair of 888XHSib 5 days a week for pretty close to 8 months before I washed them. Did the squats, and all the others things I thought/read would "set them" or "build the memory" and they shifted. Maybe it's the washing machine even though it was delicate with no spin. I have a pair of 21OD I'm working on. Think I'll try hand washing and see if that makes a difference. Thanks again for your reply and have a great day!

@Oaktavia would love to see a tutorial on how you reset the crease for the honeycombs. For me, the whiskers always go right where they were, but the honeycombs have shifted on every pair of jeans I have.

Is the wishlist gone, or am I just not seeing it?

@Alex Thank you. That would be amazing!

@Alex SBG or SB?

So this arrived today. Feeling pretty lucky. I've tried to buy many items from Ship John with zero luck thus far. Just happened to catch the Ship John live stream where Mike announced they were selling this all black / dry wax version of the Wills. I believe this only 1 of 30 pieces. Sorry for the terrible pictures. Much better on their website obviously.

Pretty happy with how this turned out. I'm kinda short and boxy myself.

Love this! Really, really hope the measurements work!

Completely agree with @DeeDee85. I think the black W is going to look great. In fact, I was already considering trying to carefully sharpie it. This is a plus to me. Really hope the measurements work!

@goosehd Thank you! Will do. I have to admit, with all these legends on this forum and all the amazing fades, it was hard to hit that submit button

@Davids_denim Thanks! Completely agree. Took a lot of pictures and these were the best, but still doesn't quite capture it correctly.

Never posted a fade pic. Not near the photog some of you gentlemen are. Been wearing these on and off for about a year and half rotating with some 888XHSIB

@Tago-Mago very good! I assumed that since they are releasing the same day as the indigo, they were in house already seeing how they updated the indigo sizing chart. That's what I get for assuming. Thanks!

Fantastic! Will we see a sizing chart soon?

@Graham Thank you! Hope the sizing works out!

Any word on when the black version will release? Same day?

Can you clarify the dye / dye processed used? I believe the description here and the description on the product page differ. The product page says sulfer dyed and will fade while the forum page says reactive dyed and will not fade.

The 21oz sashiko used for the 397 but dyed SBG, gun metal buttons in a CPO.

Have you measured the latest run? Are the measurements at the top accurate? It has a date of October 2020 under the post.
