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

WhiskeySandwich

The new addition to my 21oz collection. I see why this is considered “the shit”. It’s fucking spun gold. These have another dimension the others don’t, set off by that fantastic natural weft color. There pretty much my new favorite after only two wears. These are a bit more breathable than my sbg and ib but are still a bit warm in 90f. They mould to the body the same as my ib, so will get more creasy than my SBG, which is the softest of my 3. Can’t wait till these hit fuzzy stage.

@WhiskeySandwich Great fit, this has made me craving for those 888 more

WhiskeySandwich

@MQR thanks man! I’m all about the 888. It’s roomy but still slim. Ultra comfy and still pretty fitted. Wizardry.

MQR

@WhiskeySandwich i see, that’s why i think i need that on my collection as well

what are you suggest for sizing? true size or downsizing?

WhiskeySandwich

@MQR id go by measurements. I went a size or two down from my 777s. But I think that would depend on your body type. Easier to get away with if you have a trim waist. For 888, waist is the tightest spot for me, so I measure around my underwear waist band, then I subtract half inch to account for stretch. That way they end up perfect. Of course I have preference for other measurements too but those are aesthetic.
When in doubt, email the crew. They’re super helpful and pretty patient with particulars.

@WhiskeySandwich i see, go by measurements by far is the most wise advice , thankyou

@WhiskeySandwich

They’re amazing. And they wear in fantastically. I agree about the weft, they have such a great look. I was surprised to see that you didn’t have these already. Your other ones are stellar, too. I wore my 21od a few days ago, that’s another superstar.

@drewfonse yea i was definitely sleeping on the flagship for too long. It just wasn't available for me timing-wise and I wanted to try the ib first before it became unavailable.
