IH-888-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

the 888's look really good, but the 555's look absolutely perfect

Thank you @jordanscollected! I think I'm sold on them.

Agreed with the vox pop, the 888’s look good but the 555’s suit your frame better. As long as you are happy with the waist and thigh now I’d say go for it. After the soak you’ll find them uncomfortable and tight but a few days of wear and you’ll be good. They’ll stretch out to where they are now, possibly a little more.

I don't mean to gatekeep people who like a more roomy pant but the 888 is usually for those who can't fit into anything else LOL. If I could fit into a 666 or 555, I would be wearing those.
For me certainly, a sized down 888 allows me to have a fit similar to the 555 or 777 which I struggle with due to my Neanderthal genes and having played rugby since I could walk.
That being said, I’m entering the upper end of my 40’s, and having a more relaxed leg has it’s own appeal now, hence the size up on my new pair of 888-XHS. I’ll try and get fit pics p tomorrow.

@Chap @sabergirl why thank you both… I'm pleased with how they've worked out

@thomas01:
@neph93 looks still very fitted on you. Great fit!
I wear my 888 a way more relaxed, which I’m happy with
The 888xhs is my next purchase for sure
That is the great thing about this cut… very versatile, very flexible. My W33's 888-XHSib fit me the same way 555's fit @Sam, for example. The waist is trim but not uncomfortable unless I put on weight. These fit perfectly at the waist. Comfortable without being loose. But I could size up, wear with a built and go very relaxed.
I feel like the 888 cut and the XHS denim are a good match. The weight of the denim and the nature of the fit work well together.
Thanks for your appreciation! Yours too @Paul9221
