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

@tody @bmnathe the 731 should be really close to the 888. The 730 is a straight leg. If you count on your jeans stretching though consider sizing up. I went tts with khaki and navy and had to sell both.

...or the 727 for a lightweight 888 cut version of the above-mentioned pants.

Finally showing a little after 60 wears, indigo is stubborn! I was rotating these and the ducks near exclusively but now it’s only these and 21ib and SBG on occasion. Now trying to get these caught up to those. Love all the 21oz so much.

Double-bounce approved.
No toddles were harmed in the making of this post.

@WhiskeySandwich Hello !

Off topic but is the leather wallet chain an Iront Heart product ? Love it !

@Ju he made it himself: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum//post/769991. Plenty of follow-up posts with additional information in that thread

@Tago-Mago thanks for the assist!

…one day I may get around to making a batch, we’ll see lol

Just gave my pair to a local denim tailor for some crotch repair after about 2 years. I'm looking forward to getting them back in a couple weeks and putting them back through their paces. Maybe I'll post some fade pics when I get 'em back!

888s 21 vs -888S-SLB - 16oz size 32

How long does it take for the part below the knee to conform more to the leg. This is the part that has the least tension. Does this only become softer after washing?

[yannis]

@SashaDBZ , not really. Washing never make that part of my jeans pliable. Just time and wear.

Still looking at a November drop on these or did I miss them? Looking for a mid 30's sizes.

[schraiber]

Almost 2 years on these guys. Got em back from the tailor for a crotch blow out repair and so happy to have em back in the rotation

[m4xime]

@schraiber Perfect fit that! I'm going to grab a pair as soon as they're restocked at Rivet & Hide

[schraiber]

@m4xime Thanks man. I actually think if I got them again I'd maybe go up a size---they're just a little snug on my waist, especially when I tuck something in. And wouldn't necessarily mind a tiny bit more space in the leg, just to fit in with that Gen Z style

[meltdown]

@schraiber That looks great! Did you find the waist stretched out over time or stayed the same? Trying to get a sense of what to expect on my first pair. TY

[m4xime]

@schraiber That's interesting as I was thinking of potentially sizing down with the 1" inch stretch that tends to happen

[schraiber]

@meltdown It definitely stretched a bit, and I priced that in, but I think I may have been a slight bit too hopeful. Honestly, it's a situation where it's basically fine if I'm not tucking a shirt in, but it's just slightly uncomfortable when I am tucking.

For contrast, I have these in size 33 and they're maybe 16.75 inches flat, while I have a pair of 888 ducks in 34 that are maybe 17 inches flat, and the ducks are significantly more comfortable just with that quarter inch flat/half in total.
