@Davids_denim I think the top block of the 555 is roomier than the 666.

@jerkules A+ mate. 19 leftie fades are delicious

Tag 36 in the 888 will give you the knee measurement that you are looking for. Now if you are use to really narrow hem widths, you will struggle. Tag 36 in any cut will have a hem width over 8 inches. Make sure you are ok with that. The 555 has the smaller knee measurement from all other cuts. Look at the 888 and maybe 777. 634 and 666 will have wider hem widths.

@JohnM. Look at the measurements of the UHR. They start bigger than the 18oz. They will shrink but after wear you will end up with the pre soak/ wash measurements. The only measurements that will stay is the inseam shrinkage and any shrinkage in the hem width. Waist, hip and thigh will stretch back to pre soak measurements.

@JohnM . If you are happy with the way the 18oz fit you I will go same tag size on the UHR

Looser I meant. Sorry for the typo

They look good to me but it's about how you feel. I don't think they will get alot lower since you are not applying pressure to them but I can also tell.you that the 21od stretches quite a bit if needed. Pictures look good.

Thanks @goosehd

Great fit @Matt. Do those fit similar to a 634 or a 666?

Selfedge had a 22oz od same as the IH 22oz but modified with hand warmers. The 23oz is a different denim. I am pretty sure the 23 is unsanforized.

@Alexander from my understanding the selvedge has hand warmers were the IH does not

@Oaktavia. Hell yea. Killer jacket thick and so soft. I love mine also

@Subprime. I am fairly positive that the 829's are based on the 634 cut. They are more of a straight cut than a tapered. Lower rise and fuller mid thigh, knee and wider hem than the 888.

If I was you I would size the 888 to be snug in the waist. Snug like to be a little difficult to button the top button when new. With the 888 cut you don't have to worry about the thigh. It's roomier than both 777 and 666. Just get the waist right and the rest will fall into place. You definitely do not want the waist loose on the 888. Also remember the rise on the 888 is higher so it will sit closer to your natural waist and not hips. You may even able to go tag 31 on the 888's. Tag 32 will definitely fit you just not sure how you want them to fit.

@bluemantra, the closest thing I have to a 777 will be my 25oz pronto double indigo. It's a Pronto cut but based on the 777. They are tag 40 and still slightly tight on the thigh. Needless to say I need a belt for the waist. The good thing is that the lower rise is more forgiving when the waist is big. To put it in perspective I can wear tag 36 in both 888's and 634. So in my case I have to go 2 tag sizes up to fit a 777 cut.

I see that makes sense. The IH version has indeed no pockets

Is the self edge 22oz od different than the one that IH used to carry?

What size do you wear @Mizmazzle

@Mizmazzle. I think hip measurements matter also but we don't account for them. Also where the taper starts from will make a difference of how the thigh will feel.

I think you answered mostly your question. Definitely a matter of preference but there is a point when a pair is too tight, so no matter how much stretch you will get there will be always tight. For me if the top button is just a little difficult to do when new it's a good place to start. If I have to jump around and take multiple attempts to button it it's a no go. They will never be conformable for me.
