IH-888S-142 - 14oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
@Jordanxbuffer I've been careful what I wear them with, but today wore them with an untucked white tee. Haven't noticed any issues. I've got no doubt they will crock like hell as the indigo is very deep.
@spitfiredealer I don't care too much about them not getting a wash. I've got jeans I haven't washed for a couple of years (but that have been washed at some time). I don't have a manual job so wouldn't expose them to serious filth, and I don't intend throwing up on them! They are one wash, so shouldn't suffer like raw denim would… I hope

@Jordanxbuffer Hey, just curious but where are you sending the pair in for a waist reduction? I unfortunately lost a lot of weight recently and have a pair of XHS I was considering sizing down as well.

There’s a local tailor I may try or I might send them over to rain with my UHR or Railcar. Although Railcar did less than stellar repair work on my wife’s pairs of Railcar vixens as well as a crazy weird lack of communication on their end in regard to repair time.

How breathable is this new 14oz denim?
-
It’s decently breathable but not as breathable as the 16oz or the 21oz from what I can tell.

I've always wanted to own a pair of jeans that I never wash. This may be that pair. I like the idea of seeing every bit of living on them.
That is what I do with all my jeans. No wash except for initial wash to shrink and get the excess indigo out and I have to wash my work pants, which go about 3 months until the smell shows up before I do
I love fades. I just feel that color loss is to great with washing and I'm old and patient
I wear SuperBlack to work. Indigo just doesn't last for me as work pants. -
Cool stuff. Not washing is one of my core criteria to differentiate proper denimheads from the wannabes. Keep it up!

Wearing these out in 80* weather today and they feel heavier and HOTTER than my UHR.

I bought the 142 denim thinking it would be my 80-degree-and-above denim and the 16oz denim would be my 60-80 degree denim but it’s definitely the opposite. I love both denims but the 142 denim is definitely warmer than the 16oz Vintage denim.

@Graham @mpukas @Max Power Thanks for the nice comments! Glad I went with 33. Here is a couple pics of the jeans about 30 wears in, I’m going for 0 washes on this pair for as long as possible.

Thanks! Definitely some stretch, nowhere near as much as my 21oz OD.
I also like the J1 Chicago Low. Classy footwear.
Thanks buddy, good eye. Only problem with raw denim is I can’t break out my fav footwear until I’m positive they won’t turn blue.

I haven’t had much and it’s the most frustrating thing for me.

anyone have an insights as to how these fit versus the 633?

@riffblaster:

No personal insight but I’d imagine they fit quite differently. My understanding of the 633 is that it is the 634 with taper from the knee. In which case the top block on the 888 will be markedly different (much higher rise, wider over the hip), and the taper on the 888 starts well above the knee.
I did my first wash recently due to some serious bulldog slobber. These are starting to look great.
