IH-888S-21od - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - OD'd
-
Quick question.. wearing a 34 in the 888 21oz Indigo.. had them for about 2-3 weeks and the feel great. Should I go same size in OD 888?
@Paul9221 is right, measurements are key rather than tagsize. However in this case the you are safe to order the same. The IH-888S-OD is exactly the same jean as the IH-888S, just overdyed. This means that the jeans shrink a little in the overflying, so the measurements often come up a little smaller, however they will also stretch out a little more and a little quicker.
So go with the same tagsize in the OD, but expect them to be a little tighter for the first wear. After that you’ll find they end up similar to your 888S.

So, about 18 months ago, I got a pair of 888-142OD and loved them.. sadly they never quite stretched to where I needed, and I have gotten a little larger, so while they looked fantastic, comfort and mobility were an issue.
Thankfully, [mention]Brock [/mention] was in the opposite situation with a pair of 21oz ODs, so we initiated a good ol’ fashioned forum trade and I think it worked well for us both!
Crazy how much more room the 21oz version have in the same tagged size, snd should be perfect for me after a little more give.
I’ll be rocking them stacked and cuffed for a bit until some combs set and then send a pack off to IHUK for some hemming in a few Months.
I’ve been enjoying straight cuts lately, so a little less taper and a fuller thigh and higher rise fits well for me in these!
I apologize for the sloppy hem, I’ll have them cuffed next time I’m sure

Gave them a double cuff and I think the leg works well for me

Just before a soak

a wave hit me just before, wet below the knees, so we carried on with the walk and then gave the jeans a soak when home

This is one way to get some OD fades…

Thanks @neph93 my washing routine is quick wash (30 mins) 30 C no spin then I lay flat on a towel and roll it up before hang drying. This pair have been washed three times I think.

@lee:
What’s the main difference between the 888 and selfedges 633 fit please cheers lee
The 633 is the same medium rise top block and relaxed thigh as the 634 but with taper from the knee to hem. The 888 has a higher rise that narrows towards the waist, an a relaxed leg that tapers evenly from the top of the thigh all the way to the hem, giving an overall slimmer profile than the 634 and 633, as the knee is narrower.
