IHSH-409-IB - 19oz Selvedge Denim CPO Shirt - Indigo/Black

[WhiskeySandwich]

Yeah dude, those 21ib are killer.

[Oaktavia]

Glad y'all liked the photos, it was fun laying them all out. My plan as of now is to heavily wear both the 396 and 888XHSib this fall/winter. I'm super stoked to see how each of them evolve in their own ways. Still plan to wear the 16oz SBG western here and there when I can as well.

@Daniel-San how have you been enjoying your 21ozib pair? In heavy rotation or is there a different pair you favor?

@WhiskeySandwich they are tough to fade, have you any XHSib? If not, I highly recommend them and personally prefer that denim over 21ozib.

@Fadez glad I could bring you back to it. You should defo pick up one when they drop. Hope you've been good lately my guy.

Killer seeing the different weights of ib denim next to each other and how different they all are. Also pretty sweet seeing the different fade stages you have on all of them

[Oaktavia]

@RoxRocks86 right on dude, thanks for reminding me to take photos of them all. As it happened, the lighting was pretty okay this morning.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia ya know, I’ve played with the idea of getting some XHS, and if I did, I think ib would be the one. The main thing that’s stopped me is worries about wearability and versatility. My next pair of jeans is def the 21od, but I’ll reevaluate and consider it next time the xhsib comes around.

[BlueBlood]

Hell yeah, I’m excited to see this. Nobody fades IH tops like @Oaktavia.

I’ll probably end up going with the 16 oz SBG CPO, but I still have serious academic interest in the evo of this fabric.

@Oaktavia
Wear mine in rotation with UHR and 666-21L at the moment, depending on temperatures . Guess around 40 wears at the moment, fades slowly starting but nothing spectacular at this point.

It depends on what you are after and what you deem as comfortable. I personally am after high contrast, heavy fades when I wear XHSib. This does not necessarily mean comfort and versatility for everyone. I for one find XHS to be super cozy off the bat but I am a bit of a masochist. They do eventually become amazingly comfortable in due time. On the other hand, the 21ozod will provide comfort, while giving off more muted fades that could be contrast-y given the wear it deserves.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia i can dig it dude. I really like a 21oz for the fades they produce, and for the colder season. Something about the heft when it's nice and soft... and I find the weight practical for all of my activities. I do think it'd be good to have a pair of XHS one day, but first I gotta get on these ODs, the 16oz SBG CPO, and a new UHF! lol
I'm sure if I can catch a break between other purchases and they're available with good measurements, I'll pick up a pair. I do enjoy a challenging break-in and I'm sure the result is worth the struggle.

great photos is an understatement @Oaktavia. The setting reminds me of Beetlejuice's homeland.

On the strength of these I have dug out the 295ib and my 555-Sibs despite the relatively warm weather.

LMFAO Have you heard Beetlejuice 2 is in the works? Fun fact about the house and property my wife and I moved into: there is moss freaking everywhere! Different kinds of mosses too, they are all so, so beautiful and they make me smile. I was tempted to make a Moss thread but held tight due to skepticism of others' potential interest.

[Oaktavia]

@WhiskeySandwich sounds like you got it goin' on my friend. I share the internest in the 21oz...in fact I have a pair of Beatle Busters arriving today from @Heavy_blue out for delivery. I'm sure they will pair nicely with this 396.

Air conditioning is your best fader friend, my dude.

this thing looks like it'll fade just sitting on a hanger.
