IH-888S-SLBod 16oz Slubby Selvedge Denim Relaxed Tapered Cut Indigo Overdyed Black
Iron Heart's relaxed-tapered cut jeans, made from 16oz slubby selvedge denim. The most heavily textured denim in the Iron Heart lineup, this 16oz slubby selvedge is woven slowly and loosely (think off-the-scale loom-chatter!), resulting in a more irregular twill and an uneven fabric hand on both the face and reverse. Compared to other heavyweight weaves, this is a softer, more breathable denim which brims with distinctive character.
To create this darkened variation, a pair of standard IH-888S-SLB jeans is steeped in black dye using a direct dyeing process. This stains the indigo denim and stitching, with the added bonus of removing all shrinkage from the fabric. A unique middle ground between traditional indigo and black denims, over time the fabric will gradually fade with blue-tinged hues in high-wear areas.
