IH-888-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
@Mizmazzle They turned out pretty great. I may have them hemmed again because they feel long although they shouldn't be. But I think that's me not always wearing them as high as they're supposed to be worn. The lower leg shrank considerably in the machine wash. Overall, I think they're pretty great they feel a bit like a more generous cut 555 to me. Perfect for winter and perfect for XHS.

@Ju. The difference between the 21oz and 25oz is more than just weight. The 21oz is more breathable, softer of the bat and fades in a more vintage style vs the 25oz is less breathable, difficult to deal with in the first few wears, hard to button at times, but you get rewarded with sweatpants like softness when broken in and contrast fades. Obviously the 25oz is a better winter option in colder climates.

@GardenState nice man! Glad you’re happy with them. I agree with the more generous 555 description.

@yannis Thank you very much for the insight !
I started to look at the size charts.
On left there is the dimensions of a Naked and Famous jeans that i have (that fits well on me) and on the right the dimensions (in centimeters) of the 888 XHS tag 36 :
Waist : 95 / 92,7
Front Rise : 29,5 / 32,5
Rear Rise : 39 / 43,7
Thigh : 33 / 35,8
Knee : 22,5 / 24,6
Hem : 18 / 21,8
Inseam : 87 / 92,7
Considering the incoming shrinkage with the pre soak or wash, tag 36 looks good for me right ?
-
@Ju, Do not worry about the shrinkage in the waist. It will stretch back to pre soak dimensions with wear. The N&F pais looks like a lower rise pair than the 888,s. So they will seat higher up, on your natural waist instead of the hips and usually our matural waist is narrower. The thigh will shrink about 0.5 of an inch roughly 1.2 cm and probably the same for the knee and hem width. The inseam may shrink up to an inch so about 2.5cm. For the most part tag 36 looks roomier than your N& F. Make sure you are ok with that. Is you really like how the N&F fits maybe look even tag 35. You have alot of room in the thigh to play with.
-
@Ju, also.look at the 777 cut tag 36. The measurements are alot closer to your N&F pair in most areas but waist. Also I assume that you used the Iron Heart measuring method otherwise non of all that means anything.
-
@yannis Yeah i used the Iron Heart measuring method.
You're right seems like the 777 looks more like what i'm looking for, sadly only the 21/23 is still avalaible in tag 36 so i guess i'll have to wait.
