[mention]GardenState [/mention] I gave them the measurements for my best fitting denim (16.5” across) and non of the No-Lot they had measured correctly.

Ah okay. I was thinking it might be the legs.

I actually JUST ordered a pair 5 mins before you posted. Went with a 32 with 31.5 waist and 12.25 thigh. Will need a little stretching but it'll work!
I'm trying to figure out my perfect hem length. For the longest, I was ordering them far too long at 34" inseam while I'm only 5'10". I finally got them hemmed to 32", which looks much cleaner but now I'm wondering if I should drop to 31". It can look a little too bunched up at the bottom with sneakers.
Is your inseam length just long enough so that the jeans touch the ground when barefoot, Reuben? Your inseam looks spot-on!
That a very good point made! Reading all these 2 years before but remained the same usefulness!

Got these mid-March. They’re very much ready for their first wash now. Have seen a lot of playground duty, some garden work and quite a few bike trips at this point. So taken with these that I picked up a pair of 888s during the sale.

Had to put my loyalty credits to use and boy am I glad I did on these. The fit is absolutely spot on. Thanks to Ben for dialing it in post order.
@duece those look great! Really nice for. I had a couple questions I was hoping you might be able to give some insight into. That mid/high rise top block…how do you like it? I’m used to a low rise Jean I think but have been leaning more towards a less skateboarder cut and more towards something like this. I’ve got some Wesco Morrisons coming and think this 888 would be a nice leg opening. Could you share your opinion on how that rise feels comfort wise ? Super appreciate it.

I'm about to pick up my first pair of OD. I'm understanding there will be stretch but no shrinkage. The sizing for me (size 38) will fit perfect. I'm curious on hemming and whether to take into account the stretching. I'll likely go with my normal inseam, but wanted to make sure I'm accounting for stretch/shrink properly with these.
I'm also going back/forth on whether I go 21oz or 14oz in these….

@Deuce @neph93 Hey fellas!! Merry Holidays to everyone!! Wanted to reach out to the well informed on this thread and get some feedback if possible. Just got a pair of the 888s in the OD. First IH jeans. Have a couple shirts. @Deuce you mentioned in an earlier part of this thread wanting a slimmer thigh and the IH crew finding the right waist to match the silhouette you were after. I'm kind of in the exact same boat. I plan to hem my pants, but want to make sure i've got the fit just right first. I'm attaching some pics (don't mind the post Christmas washed out look on my face haha)
@neph93 I linked you in because, well, duh!! You are the Jedi around here and have been a huge help to me in my personal denim evolution. Thanks in advance ya'll. Hope you're having a wonderful holiday season!!

Hey there! I too just got a pair of the 888s in OD 21oz. So stoked! I'm curious about the hemming questions too. I've never had pants with this level of high rise. I'm wondering if the high rise will make the pants a bit longer in the leg as they settle a bit lower on the hips throughout the day. More room for a bit of sagging if you will as compared to a low rise pant.

I think your fit looks good and the leg will look more settled with a cuff or proper hem. As for the pants falling throughout the day, I find that with a belt it isnt much of a problem. I’m not saying I never have to adjust, but I wouldnt base my hemming decision on it. Since everyone’s jeans fit and wear differently I would pop a cuff at the point of where you would hem and see how it goes. I think 888 looks great cuffed, you might like it [emoji41]
