IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
@Kdub780 hi, the 888 have the characteristic of having a lot of space in the upper block and tapered in the leg, the 777 have a low waist and the leg quite similar to the 888, perhaps it would be the cut most similar to the ones you are used to... it's a question of tastes and sizes, maybe if you measure a pair of jeans that you like and compare the results to the tables on the website you will find the one you like best. However, that pair of 888s looks very good on you.

I would argue the common opinion that 888 cut is designed for the huge thighs of bodybuilders and weightlifters. And I actually did it here https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum//post/799257
It all depends on the proportions of the body. In order for jeans to look harmonious on you, you need to take these proportions into account instead of going against the сurrent based on your desires -
Were those a little challenging to button up initially? If they fit perfectly in the waist immediately, you may want to go down a size. I found that my pair of these were quite snug initially and then stretched out a solid inch in the waist after 5-10 wears. Fit perfectly now.
It doesn’t look like the size down would cause problems elsewhere, either.
-
@drewfonse No, the waist was about perfect to start. My mistake for not looking into how much the 21 oz stretches.
@flannel-slut @Yoprst @Heavy_blue @Luijim78 @tody thanks a lot for the input. I'll try to trade for a size down, or try out the 634 or 666.
-
@Kdub780 It's not about waist stretch. If the waist stretched a whole lot it only suggests that it was at least too snug for the actual waist measurement and stretched that way due to excessive tension applied as it doesn't stretch by itself on it's own. For the body proportions you currently have you will always have dilemma with 888 cut - the waist accomodated would mean lots of room bellow it and the other way around

Back in the OG while the SBGs hang in the sun to dry after their first wash.
This is hands down my favorite pair of jeans.
Use it or lose it.

@weftyarn hot damn
-
Good lord, something to look forward to a few years from now. Wow.
-
@weftyarn These look amazing.
-
@weftyarn The pair fits you perfectly. That what it is to chose the right cut and size
-
Thanks so much guys! And you’re right @Yoprst the key here really was to nail the size and fit. I just love to put these on, they fit like a glove. I think the structure of the 21Oz plays a big roll here. Because it has so much give it really conforms to the body well provided one starts off tight.
Edit: Just had a look at the pocket bag and it says we’re at 347 wear days with a total of 27 soaks/washes combined (can’t tell the color of the marks apart…)
-
Agreed. If I had to keep just one of my IHs, easy choice, it would be this one.
Love the OD one, too. Same denim, same softness, conforming to body etc. Less breathable than the OG 21oz, though.
-
Few pics on a glorious day. This denim is the GOAT for me.

@AdamJ According to the photo, the 666 has more room on the thigh than the 777. But if I compare the size guide in size 32, the 666 has 0.3 inches less room?
-
@SashaDBZ the cut comparison is a guide of the general characteristics of each cut. The thigh doesn't differ massively between 666 and 777 cut and each model per cut measures differently. In my view 0.3" is a pretty small measurement discrepancy
I'll take a look across the board at all cuts and see if anything untoward is occurring without our knowledge

Is anyone wearing these with Engineer Boots? I mean does it work well with the leg opening?
