Fairly confident, as I’ve been measuring for quite a while (and getting feedback on this forum) and will be excited to try them on when they arrive. Fingers crossed.

Yeah, I’ve been waiting for these for months. Thrilled to get my first pair of IH.

Glad I asked. Went ahead and ordered a pair. Thanks!

These look so great!

I’m leaning towards the overdyed option assuming measurements look good after the OD process. If not, will pick up the 888S. This is my first purchase from IH - any chance these will sell out before the OD is released?

@Adam thanks! Yep, signed up for the restock notification and will definitely check the size chart if it gets updated. Appreciate the help.

Now to decide if I go with the 888S or the IH-888S-OD when those get released…

Appreciate it, Chris. I was thinking the same thing, but have retired too many pairs early from buying the wrong cut or too small of a size so wanted some input from the community. Can't wait until they get re-stocked!

Hey all, getting ready to make my first move into IHs. Have transitioned from a distance running routine to powerlifting in the last year, have put on about 10 lbs, and am growing out of all of my pants. Currently squeezing into a pair of 3sixteen CT-120x but the blowout is already starting after only a few months of wear.

Curious of your thoughts on recommendations for cuts and sizes. The high rise of the IH888S is very appealing to me and after a few years of buying denim that is too tight, I'm eager to get a comfy pair of pants that I can wear until they're legitimately done.

Current pair of 3sixteens (which are slightly too small in the waist and way too tight in the thigh) measurements are below (using the IH method). Actual thigh measures 22.75".

Waist    32.5 (ideally want a pair that stretches to 33 or just over that)
FR        11
RR        15.25
Thigh    11.5 (this is the main issue with these pants and I'm finding them increasingly hard to put on)

Would a 32" 888s have a noticeably comfier thigh than what I'm currently in? Size charts show the thigh is 12.3 - would this be enough to not only be comfy now but also allow me to keep wearing them if my thighs get a bit larger? I don't plan on putting on any more weight at this point, but wouldn't be too surprised if my body proportions change a bit and my thighs grow a little more.

Was also considering the IH634 and Flathead 3012, but spend the most time dreaming about the 888s.
