@Kasi:

Maybe this Mad black 25oz will open the door for the other fits to come in the near future

Mo,  If these sell well, we will do other cuts in 25oz MBMF. We were a little nervous in doing a load of cuts because a) we had to make the decision in March/April, when the world was going to shit and b) they're bloody expensive, so we wanted to see how they would be received.

@Jimothy:

Hoping ya'll could weigh in. I normally try to get jeans that after stretch will be 35.5 waist.

Getting two inches of stretch out of these will be a challenge.

[Paul9221]

If it helps, I aimed for a waist 0.5" narrower than my currently well worn 888XHS.

I know this is not the thread for the 555’s MB 25oz.

But still these are the hype.. the fabric is insane out of this world.

Thanks Giles for selling me the sample pair…

Hope great time do come .. and this madness is over with pandemic crap.
Even though willing to buy another pair but 888 isn’t my fit.

Never knows what around the corner.. Iron Heart is known for dropping surprises I like them coming.

Kasi how does the XHSmb feel compared to regular XHS or the ib?  Any noticeable difference in softness or texture?

How do you think it will fade?  looking forward to seeing how this stuff looks with heavy wear.  looks hella stubborn

[Kasi]

@hoppy_IPA

these have more thickness and very stubborn but can feel the softness as they will go
more softer..

XHS goes soft after a soak or wash feels less thickness over time, they become a beauty

IB is similar… unless your not doing soaks or wash at first.

I can’t says anything about fading to early to says.. In my opinion I think hard work is required and effort.

[AdamJ]

They don't feel as hard to touch as the XHS or XHSib. @AdamC certainly remarked on how comfortable they were when he donned them for fit pics!

[AdamC]

As @AdamJ said, they feel softer from the off than the XHS or XHSib.  I didn't want to take them off!

I just get more and more stoked on these. Can’t wait.

Strangely intrigued by these, just never been a black jeans guy but these are certainly tempting me…

I currently have two wearable pairs and that really is enough as they do not get anywhere near as much leg time as they deserve. It won't stop me from picking these up when they come back around. For once my will power lasted longer than the stock…

That's just it man, I am really trying to focus on one or two pair at a time these days…

Celebrate those WP wins as well Sir!!!

Yeah… it feels a bit like quitting smoking or stopping ahem "others things". One day at a time and any sense of achievement is eradicated by the sense of loss and emptiness

I think everyone needs one pair of black jeans. Maybe it's OD, maybe it's SBG, maybe it's BB, but black goes with practically everything and stands out in a sea of blue.

And maybe it's just me but while I see great blue denim fades regularly, a well-faded pair of black jeans with pops of grey really catches my attention.

@Paul9221:

No doubt about that. As stated I have two which renders a third pair really unnecessary, sadly.

[Kasi]

Called it the Devil wears black jeans….

Yeah, that was more for Z.  You've been around long enough, R. I trust that you have a rainbow of denim by this point

I do love a good metaphor and that is a bloody great one.
