IH-8301S - SBG "Super Black Fade-To-Gray" Denim - Slim Cut
-
These still don't have a exposed selvedge right?
Also, are these as soft as the regular 301s? I have a pair of those and they were hands down the most comfortable denim I have ever worn right out of the box.
-
Pretty sure these don't have the selvedge edge. If you want that try the 555-03, which is a better cut IMO. Not as soft as the regular denim, but they soften up pretty quickly.
I have 2 pairs of the 555's - I prefer the 301s cut more.
Just ordered a pair of the 8301s from self edge. Thanks y'all!

I also prefer the 555 cut over the 301 cut. They are very similar but the 555 has a slighter longer rise with a slightly tighter top block in my opinion. Both are great though and the SBG denim looks great.
-
I picked these up from SE online back in December or January and have used them as a dress and evening jean. Probably have a few dozen wears in on them and they are much softer than new.
This cut works well on my skinny ass, and I get a ton of compliments on it.
Took these pics a while back and forgot to post em.

After my 555-03 shrunk up a bit too much for me to squeeze into them, I have been missing having an SBG variant in the arsenal.
While I could have made a 36 work, the rise of the 301 cut dosnt always work for me so I gambled on a 38 and the fit is 100% perfect for me.
Luckily, the measurements all worked into my favor on the pair I received. Waist was 1.5" smaller than the chart, Rise was .5 larger in front, thigh is perfect and length was 2.5" shorter.
Very happy with the way they fit, and once the denim settles and I give them a soak, I'll probably get 2" or so chopped off the hem.

Thanks @Fadez !!! Im super excited how well they turned out.

That I did @Cfk87 ! I was worried the 8301 would be pretty baggy on me with a super low rise, but the rise is actually taller than my 634s, with a slightly larger thigh and nearly perfect taper. I wear pull on boots almost everyday, and it always bummed me out that my 555-03 didn't work with them - luckily these are perfect for engineers and ropers

Does anyone know if IH would ever release a lighter-weight SBG in a similar cut? Say, a 555, 777, or 301?
I think a 14- or even 18-oz SBG slim cut would be really interesting…
-
There is a 16oz SBG in the double front logger jeans, but doubtful we were ever see a lightweight SBG in a slim fit.
The 777-SBG is a wonderful slim fit as is the 555-03 if you want something more slim than the 8301, and the 21oz SBG is very comfortable, even given its heft.

Thanks a lot! I will check out the 555-03.
How much roomier (and where?) is the 8301 compared to the 555? I don't see the 301 listed on the fit page.
Appreciate the help! I am a very happy owner of 633SII which I have in a 31 - I assume the 555-03 would be a similar size. is that correct?
