Iron Heart's 888 is their relaxed tapered cut, a high rise with a roomy top block and thigh, tapering from the knee to the hem for a clean silhouette. This version is cut from Iron Heart's 16oz slubby selvedge, their first slub denim, then overdyed black.
The base fabric is loosely woven from slub yarns of varying thickness, giving it a heavily textured, uneven hand on both the face and the reverse. After the jeans are cut and sewn, the garment is overdyed black, dyeing everything from the buttons to the seams to the selvedge IDs. The jeans start out a deep, near-solid black and fade with wear and washing to reveal the indigo warp underneath.
There are noticeable irregularities across the fabric, and a higher chance of leg-twist than with other denims Iron Heart uses. The slub also fades with a distinctive grainy character. If you're not a fan of leg-twist, or you prefer a uniform, predictable denim, this jean isn't for you.
Sanforized, one-washed, and overdyed, so expect little to no shrinkage. The waist will stretch about an inch with wear.
