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

…never thought about it, wow! The 'BOSS' knows what he's doing.
-
Thanks guys for the explanation - makes perfect sense now!
Maybe the 888 cut with its high rise and "big" top block contributes to it looking even wider.
Anyways - I love these jeans!
-
Thx for the explanation, now it makes me wonder what other details and factoids I'm missing on these jeans. I appreciate simple well thought out things like that.
-
Any word on when these restock? Been wanting to get my first pair of IH's in 21 oz and this seems to be the best entrance product.

Some minor repairs after 254 wear days.
21OZ denim is a joy to watch fading. -
Hello there,
quick question, especially for the women wearing this jean/fabric:
I bought this for my girlfriend. The overall fit is fine, but the crotch area is a little "roomy"..like there's a little too much fabric in the front.Will this "mold" and flatten or will it always have a little "air bubble" in the crotch?
-
It will settle a bit, but this is due to the high front rise and the heavy denim. It won’t ever just go away. Best fit ever for my body is the 463 boss cut, because it has low front rise, and a high rise in the seat. There’s still a crotch “bubble” just a lot less pronounced. She might fare better with a 777 or 301, or even try a lighter weight denim.

Just washed so figured I’d post some pics. Got them in about March of 2021 worn 4+ days a week or so since. Numerous washes. Going to send in for crotch repair this fall most likely and trying to decide between 555uhr or 888uhr for my next pair. The 888 and 555 are my favorite fits so I’m kind of torn… any suggestions?

Nice evo, @hgering27
From what I’ve heard the UHR is a lot less breathable than 21OZ, so you might be happy to have some more for air circulation in the 888?
I also went for the 888 UHR as my second IH denim. Will pick them up in September
-
@weftyarn thanks man! Yeah I’m leaning towards 888 right now I just love both fits so I’m torn…
-
Aaaah, putting these bad boys on again is like reuniting with an old friend.
What do people think of this though? My thighs rubbing when I walk is causing the inseam to start to fray. Too soon to repair, or should I reinforce it now to protect the seam?
Sorry for the crotch shot…

In my experience, one can be lazy and go on for years with this type of damage. Your mileage may vary.

they may wear enough and stop rubbing

Thanks both!
@steelworker I doubt it! My thighs rub even when I have nothing on - too many years of too many heavy squats - unless I walk like I'm bow-legged.
I think maybe I'll get hold of some white thread and do a little sashiko along the seam just to reinforce it.

Can’t go wrong with either one. Neither of those fits are made for me, but the UHR is great and yes, less breathable than the 21oz.
