Hey @AdamC hope you are well my friend.... any updates from Japan on a restock?

[Alex]

21oz indigo and OD restocks due in the fall @BD81

[BD81]

Thanks @Alex

My 21 oz. 888s in indigo are some of my favorites. Looking forward to the upcoming 21 oz. OD restock. Fall will be heading to Colorado soon!

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between OD and IB jeans.. so I know what to expect

[sabergirl]

With IB the threads are dyed indigo and black and then the jeans are woven. With OD, the indigo jeans are dyed black after they have already been sewn, riveted, and are already finished except for their leather patch.

@Brian-bvdk big fan of your IG page; ML&R... you should expect to purchase one shortly after the other. Both fabrics are bonkers and totally different from one another.

IB typically fade with higher contrast than the OD too. Good to see you on here bud!

Almost Christmas fellas…any update on a restock?

[Alex]

@Ridgemont as soon as we know, this will be the first place we post it. We are just as frustrated by the delays as you all are. Sorry

[Bill C]

@alex - is there an ETA for a restock?

Apologies - not sure how I missed that!

@Bill-C No worries…

[Ridgemont]

Well since I am waiting, I might as well ask some questions…

How does the aging of these compare to the non OD version? I have worn my 21oz 888s nearly everyday for a year now and love the fading, feel and color evolution.

I have seen pics of the OD version that look like standard faded indigo denim and I have seen other pics that have a more grey hue to them…almost like a well worn pair of black denim.

I am looking for something to complement my 21oz 888s.

[yannis]

If you sre looking for something different since you have the 888s, get the 888 21oz Sbg, bkack that fades to gray in high contrast and they should be in stock pretty soon.

@Ridgemont I've had a couple pairs of the OD and regular 21oz, and can say that in general the 21oz is mellow in terms of fading contrast, and the OD version is even mellower. Depending on how much you wash them, they can stay very dark grey for quite a while. I've seen the pics of the faded OD pairs you're talking about where they look pretty blue... I think those have just been washed a ton and/or worn for many years. Mine have never gotten anywhere near that blue.

[Ridgemont]

@yannis thanks for the suggestion. I was going to do to that earlier this year but ended up with the black 14oz 888s. Those are great as well!

[Ridgemont]

@popvulture thanks for your thoughts on the matter and that is also what I suspected. Good to get confirmation from the experts. I definitely prefer stubborn faders. I’ve had denim in the past that lighten and change color on first wash…not to mention getting knee fades after kneeling a couple of times.

I buy OD, for that midnight blue kind of mood!
