IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
here's the fit pic, with and without a slight cuff. pretty happy with the way they look. they're a hair snug in the waist, but like everyone mentioned here, i believe they will stretch enough to be comfortable.
-
Looking for opinions on the fit of these 888S and any suggestions for my next pair? Stick with the 888s or is there anything that might fit even better? Only thing, I do prefer a higher rise. Cheers
-
They look fantastic, both in terms of fit and as a well worn pair of jeans.
You could definitely stick to the 888, trying the 25oz XHS or the 14oz variant, depending on your preference.
Other fits you may like would be the 1955 (a bit more traditional, but still a high rise and more of a taper from knee to hem), or go for the 555, for a more modern slim cut, while maintaining a medium to high rise.

neph93, sabergirl, Graham - Many thanks for advice and help it’s much appreciated. Looks like the 1955 is the only cut with a similar rise, so it’s either risk those or stick with 888, I’m leaning towards ‘if it ain’t broke don’t fix it’. The 14oz sound interesting but I’ve never handled it, I’m guessing it behaves the same as the 21 just lighter in weight?

@Dentman Excellent fit!!!!
Here’s two early fit pics of mine, when I bought them at Statement store in Munich, and when I wore them the first time.
And a back pocket update pic at ~70 wear days:

I’m ruined for “lightweight” denim and don’t have anything lighter than 19oz at the moment. Never tried the current version of the 14oz. The word is that the weave is tighter and less stretchy than the 21oz. It is often claimed that the 21oz performs better than the 14oz in warm weather.

Excellent!

Just brought a pair of these in tag 36. Thanks to the fellas in the shop for advice on sizing and @neph93 fir recommending the cut. Will retire my year old 777-14s…...
-
yup new here…
tried the 777s first, but my body type says 888 (also Cephalopods are my favorite animals). Anyway, these feel perfect. Re-confirming the softness of the 21oz and this model makes crouching possible without showing my crack or hindering movement. Still feels a lil snug, but nothing that won't stretch. I believe.... fit pics below. If you look closely you can see the extra corona kilos...
remark about the model. I feel the hem size could be smaller/tighter. Have to add I have maximus gluteus and thicc quads but small calves & tender ankles. The hem & below the knee fit of 777 looked nicer imho. I'm 1,83m (6ft) and around 95kg - it's a size 36

I've grown out of mine again, sadly. The narrow knee measurement means they're too tight to move in freely when I add some muscle to my thighs. 6'1, 225lbs, 35" waist, own tag size 36. When my backside completely fills out the rear of these it also produces a weird crotch effect from the combo of the wide hip measurement and high front rise. I'm limited to baggy jeans or Levi's 541, and Levi's are only selling the inferior version of those jeans outside of America, for whatever reason.
I would absolutely love a more athletic version of these jeans, with a slightly wider thigh and some more knee width, and a regular front rise and hip. Pretty pleeeeeease.

My 888s after awhile. Note: they were tapered by Railcar Fine Goods in Los Angeles, California.
