Any lifters in here?

Where I live our stockist generally doesn't get straight fits of anything in. So the biggest IH model would be the 888.

My big legs but small waist tends to strain lots of pants, and I get a lot of abrasion in the crotch and between thigh area.

I wonder if anyone can weigh in to say if the classic 634 cut could be roomier than the 888? Going by the size charts, it would seem the 888 has a bit more thigh room, a bit less knee, but very very similar overall. But as I've realised, flat measurements don't totally capture all aspects of fit, especially under movement or sitting or any daily use.

@Heavy_blue @Daniel-San Just checked my washing machine manual. I used a typical warm wash which is in the range of 29-40C.

Good to know. At 35" I'd be looking to do a hem, but if it were to shrink more and closer to 34" I might be good to cuff forever (2" double cuff makes a 30" inseam). The inseam as it is right now is a little unwieldy, particularly at this thickness. But such is the raw life!

Otherwise, after the soak and wash I've measured the inseam to be 35.3" (down from the listed 36.5"), basically matching the dimensions of a standard pair of 888S-21. Would it be safe to hem it now?

Hey all.

I soaked and washed my UHRs. It seems like the side stitch that runs along the inside that catches the pocket and selvedge has come loose or burst. What should I do about this?

Here's a picture of the other side that is fine.
