IH-888-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
@Mizmazzle thanks mate! So far it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I started to question my decision after they stood by themselves after the wash
But they became somewhat soft after a few hours of wear. I really look forward to the next months now
-
Thought I would share my 888 with about 9 months of wear and two washes.
-
@jebrand looking good!
-
@Mizmazzle I wear these die the indigo invitational this year. So I will wear them most of the year.
Already love them:
-
Cool jeans. The more I wear them, the more I like them.
-
@maxximum great choice. And they continue to get softer. Mine feel like sweatpants now, ~120 wears and one bathtub wash at 100 wears. Best of luck for the invitational.
-
It was -22 this morning. I put on my 888. Suddenly it became warm
-
25 oz works great in the cold. I wear the other 16 and 18 oz. I'm cold.
-
I bought boots and a belt. My mood has improved.
-
@Walery-Smirnoff Those jeans fit exceptionally well

Hi all. I'm after some advice. I'm interested in these when they restock but have never tried the 888 cut. I'll hopefully have the opportunity to try on the 16oz & possibly the 21oz next week. Apart from the silhouette, what I should consider?

@goldstone0 great that you can try! 888 is a pretty high rise with enough room for the tighs but also have a pretty nice taper! Some even can size down cause the denim is higher in the waist and that’s where for most people there waist is smaller. Beware cause for XHS this maybe doesn’t count cause it will shrink after it’s first soak, especially when soaked hot. This process needs to be done and the denim will shrink around 1inch in the waist and 1inch length wise. The waist will likely stretch back to pre-soak measurements but imo choose a size that fits you right out of thr bag.
Eitherway pick the 888 when you have big engines tighs if this is the case the 888 is made for you! If this isn’t the case but you’re still looking for a higher rise with a fitted look? Try the 555. If you don’t want a high rise but still prefer a taper then try the 777.
But most importantly.. measure a denim which fit you like the most(measure the IH way) and compare them to some size charts or contact IHUK and they provide the best help ever

@Heavy_blue Thanks for your reply. I have a pair of14oz 555s which are great now but the thighs were so tight at the beginning I'm not sure the 25oz will stretch that much. Also have 777XHSib which I love but I would like another pair with a bit more room when I'm working on the farm etc.
-
@goldstone0 then definitely try the 888

@Alex one knee still in tact but getting ready to tear. Would the free service reinforce the other knee for me? Or would I be better off waiting for them both to rip
