Hello IH crew,

when can we expect the next delivery to fill the missing sizes in the stock?

Cheers

@peng We have received the 777S-21 today, so hopefully we will get the 888S-21 within the next 6-8 weeks hopefully , but keep an eye on this forum thread because once the 888S-21 are here, we will announce a date for the restock on here.

Oh wow, that's faster than I've expected. Great news, thanks @JoshC

First time poster here, I’ve been lurking for a while. Gone absolutely ballistic buying too many 888s over the past 6 months, so good. Wish I had tried IH before the other big JPN brands. IH is the best.

The 21oz indigo and the 21 oz indigo black are my faves, but the 25oz indigo black is really something else, amazing.

Any word on restock for the 888s 21oz? I may pick up another pair and cryo sleep it. So comfortable.

Also, I seem to remember a staff post implying incoming hand dyed natural indigo denim soon. Is that still happening?

Thanks!

Is anyone familiar with the Japan Blue J201 or J301. Just like the IH-888S-21, the Japan Blue has a back rise of 39-41 cm. This gives me the diaper effect with the Japan Blue. But the Japan Blue is a mid rise right?
The IH-888S-21 is a high rise, so it should sit higher and I should have less of diaper problem with the IH-888S-21?

@SashaDBZ Not familiar with the Japan Blues, but for context, different brands create different arbitrary labels to their rises within the brand. I'd 100% go by measurements alone. even "straight" or "taper" cuts....it doesn't matter, only measurements and how you wear them. Hope that perspective helps

Another thought on rise: this totally depends on where you want them on your hips. If you were to hypothetically assume that your crotch seam is the point that all other measurements are based off, a higher rise would do just that, RISE from the crotch. BUT if you base a waist measurement off a lower rise pair, and wear them at the same spot youre familiar with, the crotch will sag a lot and you'll end up with hella stacks. i base my fit from the ideal crotch position, then the thighs have a minimum, then a good rise to cover the buttcrack. ....just my rant about fit

@JoshC Hey Josh, based on your timeline it seems like we may be seeing this restock soon? Any update?

[Alex]

@aimes no update, but hopefully pretty soon

Just a bit over the one year anniversary of my 21oz 888. I don't wear them every day but I probably get in 2-4 wears a week, you can see that they're nice slow faders. The waist definitely stretched a bit but I think if I get another pair someday I'd probably size up.
