IH-888S-21ib - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/Blk

@Oaktavia beautious!!!
-
@WhiskeySandwich They become extremely comfortable and pliable after a year or so.
-
@Oaktavia hell yeah, i'm sure. Already enjoying the journey. IH 21oz is on the money, I'm in love. I'd have bought and happily worn any other of the 21oz denim, but am very glad I got this one. I think was skeptical about the black weft for no reason. They're just regular jeans, but darker.

@WhiskeySandwich That’s the best description of the 888 cut I’ve read to date.. really appreciate the detail, thank you! I’ve only had 555’s up to now and anything else I’ve tried has quickly ended up getting returned cos I couldn’t keep my arse in them
after spending some time reading up on the cuts and finally realising it’s the high rise I need, I’m pretty sure the one remaining cut I’m yet to try (the 888) is the one for me… guna add a pair of 14oz IB 888’s to my next order and see how I get on! -
@DeeDee85 Hey, If it can lead to somebody finding their best fit, I hope it helps. I've always been a freak about finding the best fit for my body, style, and activity. Not that all the other posts about cuts are misleading, I had just made false assumptions on how it would go. In the end, the only way to know for sure is to try.
One thing to add, is that this cut sorta hangs from the top, if that makes sense. 777 stays on me because it formed to my body, and I wear a belt - but they're like that cardboard sleeve on a coffee cup, naturally sliding down all the time. With the 888, its like flipping that over, so the narrow waist 'falls' onto the widest point of your hips and stops.
-
Agreed! I’ll let you know how I get on.. patiently waiting for the standard N1 deck jacket to drop then I’ll stick a pair of 888’s on the order with that
-
@WhiskeySandwich, I so agree about the 888 fit. It's glorious. Love my 555s, but they can't compare to 888s. And wouldn't even put on a pair of 777s now.

@Oaktavia I’ve considered the 666 but could never pull off those thigh measurements. Just like I cant do the 555 knee measurements. I’m 888 all the way now!

@WhiskeySandwich frig yeah dude
-
-
Bummer...was hoping to get a pair for Christmas.
-
@AdamJ thanks
-
So psyched on these. Good late sun on em
-
Approaching one year since I got these jeans. I’ve worn them for the majority of time since I received them. No washes, no soaks. There’s some nice fades coming in. No signs of crotch blowout yet. There’s a hole on my left knee from constantly being on the ground and playing with my son. It’s about the size of a US half dollar. I’ll need to get that patched sooner than later.
I’ll be giving them their first soak at the one-year mark. Excited to see if there will be any changes.
-
@caithangkhanh good lort these are amazing fades. Best ones out there yet with this denim holy smokes man.
-
@caithangkhanh Nice fades keep on rocking them.
-
@caithangkhanh those look awesome dude! I'll be a lucky SOB if i can make it a couple months without washing. They look clean as can be too. Killer fades, cant wait to see them after a soak. I'm sure they could fix that knee hole right up. Looks cool with the black weft tho!
