IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

I thought he was referring to the taper of the thigh compared to the 633. I realise it is a jump but that is what differentiates the thigh in my mind.

You’re right though, the original plan was for the 888 to have a thigh around about the 634, never wider. One of the early models came in slimmer, the cut took off sales wise and the rest is (fairly recent) history.

Interestingly, the IH-888-RE had considerably larger thighs (and didn’t sell that well), I wonder if it was closer to the originally intention, co-incidentally or otherwise?

When someone just says thigh, to me they're referring to the thigh measurement, either at the crotch seam, 2" down, whatever. And I've heard several guys refer to the 888 as having bigger thighs than the 634, so that's what I thought he meant.

[neph93]

I’m sure your right. It’s and examples of us filling in gaps with the things that preoccupy us.

New second hand jeans. Love this cut!

Will there be a W28? 

[Giles]

There will be, but not many…

On that day, one year in that 888s. My favorite cut so far. Maybe not the most elegant shot, but you get the point!

Hey all!

Here's a 13-mo update to my 888s. 2 washes, tapered them down to 7.25in at the hem, hemmed to 28.5in.

Thanks for posting @pbdeng . 21oz is no joke. Easy to wear, rewarding to fade.

[pbdeng]

tell me about it @neph93, here are a pair of 7 year old 301s of the 21oz fabric

The 21oz fabric is certainly something special

[neph93]

Nice! I have 6 year old 301’s in similar nick. It’s a fun ride.

[LewisStonehouse]

Just wondering when there will be a restock on these? Looking for a 34

Hi guys. I’m wearing a pair of 888 XHSib right now and it’s getting super hot here in the southern US. Wondering if the 21 oz would be wearable in the hot summer. Any opinions? I don’t want to do lighter weight than 21 oz in Iron Heart.

[neph93]

@super-thermite  21oz is a lot more wearable than XHS in the heat.
