IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

First let me say: those look great, and this is definitely the cut for you.
As for carrot-fit vibes, I don’t get them—but I almost never do, and I don’t see the problem, anyway. What is everyone’s objection to a relaxed top block with an aggressive taper. I really like that look. Might be because my “assets” can fill out even the most relaxed fit at the top, though.

I guess this would depend on how you wear your jeans. I made adjustment to my tag size as I needed a smaller waist because the jeans sit higher up as a result of the rise. Inseam stayed the same.
But I suppose that if one wore the 888 jeans at the same waist level and let the top block hang (sagging, basically) you might need a shorter inseam.

Hey Neph, I had a feeling it wouldn't be that simple
And thanks for bringing up the point on the waist. Let me make some calculations on what size would work best at a higher waist-line. -

You don't want to be this guy, higher waist or no higher waist:
Photo lifted from another messageboard without the guy's permission but I'm sure he wouldn't mind setting a (warning) example. The model in the photo is LVC something with high waist and apparently some room for sizing down.
Having tried the 888S before, I would wear my normal size… and as a matter of fact I will, as I shall cop the UHR version before they get extinct.

All good points @Crit_Obs @Paul9221 your answer is somewhere at the intersection of personal style and body shape.
I have a Afro-bum and an actual waist so my standard size (W35+) was far too big in the 888S (which had an actual starting waist of 34”). I flipped them and went for the 888-UHR in W34. They work great. Given the 21oz stretch I’d actually go for a W33 in the 888S if I were to buy again. But that is me and my fat ass (literally).
It’s a great cut at any rate, and certainly worth the effort to get it right.

Aaaand the 25oz XHS-IB. I think there’s a thread around here somewhere ::)

We already do a 14.7oz https://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/ih-888s-re.html
And we will also release a 14oz in indigo and overdyed, probably Jan.
