    IH-888S-SBG - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Superblack (Fades to Grey - SBG)

    Our high rise relaxed tapered cut jean, made out of 21oz "Super Black Fades to Grey" (SBG) selvedge denim. This denim has a black sulphur dyed warp and a black reactive dyed weft. With time the warp will fade but the weft won't. It is heavy, tough, yet soft and extremely breathable. Because of the double twisted weft construction, this denim moulds to an individual's body shape like no other denim.

    28-36, 38, 40, 42, 44

    405 USD

          That 32 has a pretty big thigh measurement!  Is that right?

                  I don't have any SBG, do I have to account for any shrinkage with those measurements?

                    If it is the same as earlier batches of SBG then yes. On a par with XHS.

                    If @Alex gets his act together and ships me a pair of W33 then I will happily do the shrink test and document it for the greater good [emoji16][emoji23]

                      Neph, if I remember correctly from my constant lurking, it's fair to say that the 21oz fabric stretches a significant amount. Looks like I'm in between tag 31 and 32. I will probably go tag 31.

                        The SBG stretches like all denim, and while it is essentially the same base as the regular 21oz in terms of the materials and weave, my experience is that it doesn’t stretch quite as readily as the regular 21oz. You’ll get an inch for sure after shrinkage. I’d go for a starting measurement about the same as you want them to end up, maybe half an inch less.

                          Oh, well I'm glad I asked!  What's the shrinkage supposed to be after a soak/wash?  I'm trying to dig up my XHSiB order for the details.

                          Looks like my XHSib went from 32" in the waist to 31.5" and 12.65" in the thigh to 12.25".  Should I expect something similar with these?

                            Around about that. Go look at the IH-555-SBG thread there were a couple of tests done there. If I remember correctly they a little under an inch in the waist, an inch or so on the inseam and about a third of an inch in the thigh.

                            Wait for someone from the crew to confirm that this behaves like earlier batches of the SBG denim. It probably does, but it's best to know for sure.

                              We asked for these to be one washed unlike the 555-03, so expect no shrinkage. To be sure, I’m going to shrink test a pair now though. Will post measurements ASAP, but will be close to launch time

                                  That definitely clears up my waste measurement concerns.. I’m somehow more pumped for this pair now.

                                    Thanks, England. Measurments will come as soon as they can, but likely after launch. Please treat these as one washed
