They do look really good on you. Have you tried them with Wescos yet? I look forward to your posts as you write so well.
Kind of you to say so!
That's a pair of custom boss on the MP last in the picture. I'll see if I can get a better picture tomorrow. I have a new pair of rough out burlap boss coming in soon and I'm really looking forward to wearing them with these jeans.

Thanks gents.
@manufc10 I've generally gone with a slimmer cut previously for one main reason and that is the aforementioned short legs, which mean a tapered leg and/or narrow hem suits me best, and most tapered cuts are slim. It's one of the reasons why I've been excited about this cut. But it also means that I've become used to having a tight.ish thigh, so I'm kind of having to unlearn that with these jeans. I'm looking forward to pairing them with something other than a tee to see how that all works. There's no doubt its a classy cut though.
I think this cut works fantastic with anything you pair it with. I tried on T's, UHF's, chambrays, westerns, trucker jackets….and it looks great with everything. The most versatile IH cut imo.

@neph93 Your post on 888 fit got me wondering…. I am 6'1" with a 35" inseam, so a very different frame than yours (190 lbs).
I don't have the 888 yet but I'm strongly considering buying it. I have a 634 that I don't enjoy wearing as much as a 633 from Self Edge.
Do you think the 888 would exaggerate leg length in my case? In bodies like mine, would you recommend other less tapered cuts such as a 634? I ask because I don't trust my own sense of style at all and I find I wear/choose mostly influenced by habit and whatever I'm used to from previous years. Thanks for any insight! -

Thanks for any insight!Do you have a 35in inseam when measuring the IH way? That's pretty impressive for only being 6'1". For reference I'm 6'3" and my inseam is about 33in.

I think personal taste is as important as considering body type. I own and wear 634, BB's and 666's with work boots and sneakers, depending on how I feel. But I know that with my relatively chunky, borderline endomorph body shape and shortish legs, a taper is good, especially with engineers.
I think if you're long legged and slim these will still work really well as the taper isn't extreme and the hem not as narrow as the 555 or 777. The wider thigh will also help offset the elongating effect. If you like the 633's then the 888's might be even better as they taper from above the knee so it's spread over a longer length. I think Alex and Sam are long legged so check out their fit pics on the site. Good luck and if you have any more questions feel free to ask.

@Drbabyhorse - yep, inseam measured the IH way. Weird may be more like it than impressive but such is the body type range out there.
One of the surprises when discovering selvedge denim two years ago for me was the concept of hemming jeans! After 40 years of Levis 501 and 505, ALL of them 34" inseam, all of them 'slightly short', I was amazed at 36 and 37 inch inseams. Cheers. -
Am liking this cut so far that am thinking of doubling up even though I also have the NT and UHR version on my mind. I sized down in these and they fit perfect after initially ordering them in my tts. Well done Giles and the Crew for this cut.
Big thanks also goes to Adam for being so professional with answering my questions and requests.
