IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
LewisStonehouse gave you great advice. Measure the best fitting pair you have according to the IH measuring guide and you will make a great choice. As far as the 888's go, yes they have roomy thighs but they are tapered also and the taper starts at mid thigh. The 888 and 634 are very different cuts but both can accommodate big thighs. It comes down to personal preference. The 888's are tapered, so they will be trimmer at the knee and end up with a narrower hem opening than the 634's. The top blocks are very different also, with the 888 having a higher rise and sitting at the waist vs the 634 having a mid rise and sitting at the hips.

I am not sure if this is the best thread but am hoping someone can help. I have never tried Iron Heart jeans and don't have a store near by, so I'll have to order a pair and hope for the best. I have large thighs and am looking for the Iron Heart cut with the largest thighs. So far the Left Field Atlas cut has been the best fitting cut I can find. Has anyone worn both jeans? Are the 888s similarly roomy in the thigh? Thanks for any help!
I have 3 pairs in Atlas and 4 pairs in the 888 cut so I'd consider myself a bit of an expert here.
The Atlas and 888 cuts are virtually indistinguishable from the waist band down to the mid-thigh (~6" below the crotch seam).
Below that point, the 888's taper is more gradual than the Atlas', typically leaving 0.5" more room at the knee, and a full inch at the hem.
Whereas the Atlas hugs my knees and calves, the 888 leaves a nice amount of breathing room without appearing at all baggy.

After washing I apply a little bit of Bick 4 to the patch.
I’m actually right handed, but I’ve always put my wallet in my left pocket.

Man, I forgot how awesome IH’s shipping is to the East Coat, USA.
Just got my size 32 in, and realized THIS is the size I should have originally picked up! They are legit perfect from the waist down. The waistband is a bit tight, but I’m hoping for around an inch of stretch (my 33s went about 1.5”).

I feel like this is a lesson I should have learned a long time ago, especially with the 21oz. For the longest time ive been sizing up on the 555 cut to make the thighs work. Turns out I should have went with the 888 all along. Thighs AND waist fit perfect when I factor in stretch. Live and learn i guess.
