IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
i really wanted these to work, but for some reason the 32 was too snug in the thighs. 33 might work, but with stretch and all i think it will be too loose in the waist.
currently rocking the 888XHSib and it's currently my favorite pair of all time. ive tried multiple brands, and nothing comes close to these.
any other 21+oz in the 888 cut?
Also, if you like non-fading black, I'm breaking in a pair of 888s-SB as I type this. I seem to recall the two of us having about the same waist and there being one size 32 left with a 12.8" thigh…
ill take a look at it!

that would give me some room. hmm, you think i should give them another try?
My pair of 32 888s went from 12.5 to 13". They're actually too big for me now and need to get rid of them since the waist also went from 32.4 to 33". I've found that I need to size my IH jeans down about 1" tighter in the waist than I eventually want them to be and about 0.5" tighter in the thigh than I want them to be. Otherwise, they get too loose in the end.

It's totally possible. I've seen the thigh on 21oz 32 go from 12.25" to 12.9". This is one of the reasons I try to buy directly from IHUK. They're kind enough to provide me very accurate measurements and not let me know how big of a pain in the arse I'm being by asking

gonna give them another try 1 size up. i remember the fabric not being as stiff/rigid as the xhsib. is this correct? felt like i didn't even have to break them in, and felt almost like wearing carpet.

It's a much lighter fabric. It's only 4oz but it makes a big difference. One of the more knowledgeable members might be able to expound on why it feels so much thicker.
I'm hoping that they make a XHS version soon. Insta-cop!

Selft edge has the xhs in a 633 cut. Is that one of iron hearts cut? Cant find it anywhere on here.

That's Self Edge's tapered version of the 634. So no high rise.
Ah ok. Are they coming out with the 25oz in the 888 any time soon? I might hold off then

Amy time estimate of the indigo/white?
Thank you!

I didn’t want to wait for the 888-XHS, so I nabbed the 633-XHS from SE and I’m loving them, the low rise makes the cut feel even more relaxed. Zero regrets. That being said the flagship 21 oz is still my favorite.
I grabbed the 633, but the thighs were too small on me. Also the rise is night and day compared to the 888. So now im stuck about $400 on self edge with no interest in anything. Hopefully they stock the 888xhs when it comes out [emoji1696]

Agreed the rise is much different. I don’t always want my pants hiked up that high personally. But I love my 888’s also.
As far as the thighs not fitting, the 633 has a half inch more in the thigh measurement so that doesn’t make sense.
Not all cuts measure the same. Also IH and SE have different measuring methods.
