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

Yup. Another option that I utilized to find a perfect, slightly more fitted new 30 was to ask for the crack IH team to basically find the biggest 30 for me, waist and front rise. So now I have a slightly looser more casual 31 pair and a pinpoint fitted but not tight 30 pair. Perfect.
The reality is that pretty much no other denim retailer goes to these lengths to help people. Super expensive but the 21oz indigo is unmatched and so is the IH team.
Straight talk.

Can confirm. I had gotten a couple pairs of 35W thinking the approx 1” stretch would de me perfect. And it did…until I gained back some lost weight. I’ll be sizing up for a comfort fit right out of the gate going forward. No point risking inability to wear something bc I put a couple lbs back on after a year -
Checking with the IH team, did I miss the restock here with the other 21oz cuts? Cheers

does anyone know how similar in cut these are to wrangler 13mwz?
-
No hands on experience here but from just taking a look I think you will find that the 888 thigh is more relaxed as one of the main differences.
If you have a pair, I would for sure recommend measuring them using our how we measure guide and compare to the size chart to see how they compare and differ. This will also help you select the correct tag size if you've got your eye on snagging a pair.

@akohut I have both and they fit very similar. As Graham said, the measurements are key to finding a pair of 888's that fit you like the Wrangler 13mwz. Across all the IH cuts, the 888 are the closest.
-
PS...don't go by tag size. They are dramatically different. For example, I generally wear 35 or 36 in IH-888 and 33 in Wranglers 13mwz.

Personal experience, 936DEN is closer to the 888. It happens to be my favorite wrangler cut. I own the 13MWZ and find it to be a cut all it’s own. Liberal in the rise, thigh, knee and leg opening.
I usually wear the 936 in the summertime, but replaced them with 888 142.
As mentioned - re: tag size, throw all preconceived notions out the window. Go by measurements only. Ideally compared to a jean you currently own and like to wear.
888 is such a versatile, smart and comfortable cut. I was late to the game on them. Major regrats. -
Still a virgin but time will come
