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

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. -

Let me make some calculations on what size would work best at a higher waist-line.Making calculations is a big part of coming prepared but as you consider sizing down, think of this guy. 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.

Hey y’all, I don’t post on here a whole lot, but I’m just shy of a year owned, several washes in, I alternated between these and the Superblack version a lot this year, my evolution on these looks great, in my opinion.

Jeans look awesome,love the way they’re fading. On another note,do you have the Max’s Kansas City Album in your collection?
Thanks, and I do not! You’re talking about the compilation right? My father used to go to Max’s way back then.
