IH-888-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/blk
-
These are a little too big on me since I was still figuring out my preferred cut when I got these. I still love the denim and the 888 is super comfy, no binding in thighs or knees, but still a nice taper even on a larger size.
Been trying to beat these up but so far they haven’t flinched!

Anyone has experience how these are compared to a 555 model?

They are quite different. There is a higher rise on both, but the shape of the too block is otherwise entirely different. In addition, the 888 has a wider leg and much more taper through the length of the leg.

Traded my size 38 into fade trades. Finally got around to purchasing a size 40. They should ship today and I look forward to starting them in the colder months.

It's been years since owning a new pair of XHS to break in. Already enjoying the process and looking forward to how they evolve. Normally not a cuff guy and still having an internal debate to hem or not to hem???

Thanks @Perpetual_beta . I have tried numerous times to talk myself into trying a cuff on my jeans and always end up hemming them. My 805 bibs are the only item in my closet that sports a cuff. Just seems right for bibs. Didn't last two wears on this pair and took them in for hemming yesterday.

@Bums_Fan look perfect and cool boots

Thanks @Heavy_blue!

Bought my pair in March 2021. First pics are from a month in. The rest of the pics are from today. Zero washes. Zero soaks. Mostly weekend wear. I don't wear them in the summer months. I remember it being extremely difficult to get them buttoned up the first time I put them on, and they were painfully stiff, but I also remember being shocked how quickly they softened up. This is my only pair of Iron Heart denim pants. I have two pairs of Naked and Famous, one 12.5oz and one 19oz. The Iron Hearts are my favorite by far.
-
beautiful fades sir! The 25oz is an amazing denim.
-
@chadstone30 those fades look killer dude. XHSib is the best for sharp, high contrast fades.
-
Thanks all. I'm proud of them.
Honestly, I was disappointed in the pictures and almost didn't post them. In person this fabric has so much sheen, dimension, and depth. None of that comes across in the photos.

@chadstone30 Yeah totally get it man. It's like taking a pic of a sunset, hard to do it justice.
