Yes @AdamJ  sounds good to me
When you stock a model how many pairs do you stock in each size ?

Depends on a million and one factors:

Including…
How much denim we have
How bullish we are feeling
How long do we think it will be until we can run them again
How much cash we have lying around
How many other things we are getting made......

Got you
Order different quantities in each Cut?
Most popular cut ?

[Giles]

It depends.  The 634 cut sells less well in more experimental denims for instance, black denim sells better than indigo in black denim…..

I remember seeing some numbers somewhere in this forum that showed the most sold IH bottoms and I remember seeing 666 topping the charts. Not sure though.

[Giles]

It changes from year to year…...I'd be surprised if 666 was still top of the charts.  @Alex has the numbers….

@Alex are those rankings since the start of IHUK, or YTD? I'm curious if the 888s are genuinely the least popular, or if the rankings are skewed because they're the newest core cut.

Since Jan 2019…

I have a question in general related to the shrinkage and the correct sizing. I'm usually around 80 cm on the waist and Tag size 30 fits me perfectly fine in the 666 XHS where the waist comes in around 78-79 cm new and after stretch it kind of settles around 80 to 81 cm. The UHR in 666 cut, the measurement says for tag size 31 the waist is 82.x cm and given the shrinkage of 1 inch on the waist, that would mean the waist would be around 80 cm roughly. Correct? So for my needs, I should be looking at Tag size 31 for the 666. Am I right?

[sabergirl]

Waist on the UHR should shrink an inch with soak/wash, but it will stretch out to pre-soak size again with wear. For waist measurement, you want a pair that looks good on the chart. Thigh, back rise, and inseam will shrink and won’t come back though, so be mindful of this too.

Lol one day the skinny trend will die… one day. I'm ready.

[Dmart]

Haha. Me too. But to be honest, thanks god that tastes are different. Wouldn’t it be boring if we all would wear 634 or 555?

[goosehd]

Me three…I have tree trunks for legs from years of running, weight lifting, and cycling (and now rowing).

Skinny jeans won't fit over my calves...

[Dmart]

Same here with the legs. My main issue however, is that I won’t fit the skinny jeans over my Engineers.

[goosehd]

In complete agreement!!!  I even have to be careful with the 666's on occasion and I find the 634's are ideally made for engineer boots.

[popvulture]

I've always had a pretty good experience with 666s and engineers, but 634s are indeed ideal. I've said it many times, but I wish there were an 888 with a wider leg opening — I love that higher waist but the hem's tough with my engineers.

TBH I'm not really a hater when it comes to skinnier fits — they're just not for me. The painted-on ones are very comical, though. Overall though I just feel like that trend has been around waaaaay too long. I mean… since like... 2006? F'n hell.
