would it be safe to size similar to the 888d in these based on the non existent stretch? it looks like the 888d are pretty similar waist measurements but I am conflicted if I should go with my true 38 which is what I wear in 888s-21, 555sbg, 555s-od and the 888d…. any advice?
upon further though, I am going to measure all my denims this weekend and average the waist size and pick from there. I think sizing up may be the way to go
-
@hgering27 thats an excellent plan. I’m going to do the same. Thinking having .5-.75 over my denims should give me the comfort zone necessary. I never wear a belt in my 888s cause they fit so well. And a belt that high up on the high rise seems uncomfortable. Maybe time to bring back the belt for these bad boys!

@Mizmazzle shout out at some great questions on this thread! I’m also very intrigued on how the brown color way compares to the duck. I was leaning towards the beige mostly to vary up the color ways in the closet but with how different the two fabrics are, not sure how much this will factor.

Glad my neurosis has been helpful for some folks @Bren
It continues on here….
Measured the waist of all my 888s (D, HXS, OD) and got a spot on 33" measurement (Stretched with wear)
Measured a lower rise pair of Tellasons I have (Front 9.5" and Rear 14.5") and that waist measures at 34.25"What I believes that aggregates to is a tag size 33 (33.4") or tag size 34 (34.1") being the right call for me...maybe even tag 35...which, I suppose is still not very definitive haha.
Drinking coffee, measuring jeans and smokin bowls...my kinda lazy Saturday morning!
-
Yeah I did some measuring myself and even though I buy my denim at preferred size 38” waist after stretch I’m measuring at ~39” so I think I’m going to size up, seems like the right move
-
The biggest factor in determining waist size for me comes down to 2 variables: fabric (how much stretch is expected/minimal if any in this instance) and rise (will this sit on the hips or at the waist).
I like to play cringey guesser at a carnival and would say @Mizmazzle ideal pair would be a tag size 34 with the smallest waist measurement available and @hgering27, without any rise intel, would guess a tag size 40 with the smallest waist measurement available.

Ding ding ding. The rise on the 40 looks better than the 38 for me as well so I’ve made my decision
-
to cuff or not to cuff ::)
-
got em! I want to hem, but my gut told me to wait JUST in case, but cant wait for these bad boys to come in, cords with cuffs look solid also so theres options to start with and can always hem locally.
-
Dammit. I was only going to buy brown but the pics of these look so damn good. I guess I'm in for both.
-
@AdamJ minor nit…on the details section of the shop page it states these are zipper fly.
-
Copped, going to be a nice x-mas at my house. Anniversary flannel is wrapped and under the tree (been a huge test of will power not to wear it), these are going to go great with that!
-
I wasn’t going to grab these but I’m weak
Can’t say I’ve had any cords in years
