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

@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?
-
@RobeOfTheMagi i wear 555,777 with engineer boots and that works! When i had 888’s it worked as well
-
@RobeOfTheMagi yes I think you won't have any problems, I can fit them into the 777 size 28 (in theory the smallest openings that IH produces are 16cm perhaps in some cases even a little less)
-
Thank you!

@Karol said in IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo:
This oversized IH-888S-21 is my most worn IH jeans. They feel like sweatpants. Washed many times at 60 degrees and twice at 95 degrees Celsius (in effort to shrink them as much as possible).
Just out of curiosity, do they shrink substantially at 65 or 95 °C?
