IH-888-NT - 21/23oz indigo Selvedge DWC Jeans

[Yossarian]

I'm really close to just going with my pre order size of 32, although I'm scared of the waist measurements. My current pair (JB0401) are 33.5 inches in the waist which is a tad loose and the jeans sit very low.

Would probably need to get to at least pre-shrink size of 32.5 to fit these…. but then again, the sit higher and probably at a narrower part of my hip. ARGH!

Based on my experience with the 888S I'd say this point is pertinent.

Just curious if I was meat to get something back from the DWC folks after paying… anyone know? And these will be my competition jeans.

@joephoto you've paid, you're in. All good

@derrallg:

Do I need to allow for shrinkage with the hemming? I bought the IH888S with a hemming of 32 for the inseam which was just right.

Allow 2 inches, or soak then hem them local to you (i can send you a list of people in the USA)

Thanks for your help today @Alex with all my various questions both through here and email.

Thanks Neph, figured as much. For sure the 33 will be too big for me both in waist and everywhere else, even after the shrinking.

Got the 32, can't wait. Now I just hope the inseam i requested will be alright. Allowed for 2 inch shrinkage plus 0.5-1" settling of the combs.

Might as well add these in here too, fit pics of the 888-NT.

@Megatron1505  Killer fit, Mega.  How did you handle the initial soak?  Curious of your shrinkage experience?

[Mustafa911]

@megatron1505, great fit
Is your waist shrunk 1 inch and stretch back to original size ?

@celik , basically Alex washed the shit out of them before I got them as a shrink test.

@Mustafa911 , the waist was VERY tight when I first tried them on, I would guess it has expended probably more than an inch after 15 - 20 wears.

[Yossarian]

Looking great, Mega. Terrific pictures to see after logging into my email and seeing that my pair has been shipped!

How much length did your pair lose?

[Megatron1505]

I'm guessing slightly less than an inch, the main shrink is in the waist but that does stretch back.

[Shoreman]

Mega, that might be your best fit on this forum…ever. Looking sharp.

Thanks man, the credit goes to the cut of these indigo monsters on my legs
