IH-888-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
I don't mean to gatekeep people who like a more roomy pant but the 888 is usually for those who can't fit into anything else LOL. If I could fit into a 666 or 555, I would be wearing those.
For me certainly, a sized down 888 allows me to have a fit similar to the 555 or 777 which I struggle with due to my Neanderthal genes and having played rugby since I could walk.
That being said, I’m entering the upper end of my 40’s, and having a more relaxed leg has it’s own appeal now, hence the size up on my new pair of 888-XHS. I’ll try and get fit pics p tomorrow.

@Chap @sabergirl why thank you both… I'm pleased with how they've worked out

@thomas01:
@neph93 looks still very fitted on you. Great fit!
I wear my 888 a way more relaxed, which I’m happy with
The 888xhs is my next purchase for sure
That is the great thing about this cut… very versatile, very flexible. My W33's 888-XHSib fit me the same way 555's fit @Sam, for example. The waist is trim but not uncomfortable unless I put on weight. These fit perfectly at the waist. Comfortable without being loose. But I could size up, wear with a built and go very relaxed.
I feel like the 888 cut and the XHS denim are a good match. The weight of the denim and the nature of the fit work well together.
Thanks for your appreciation! Yours too @Paul9221

…wow! Four pages back on the 'bottoms' forum site! Must be the 'grandpa cut'! :D...hence...
...picking up another cut, the 888-XHS! That'll be my 3rd pair of Iron Hearts, 634XHS, 555XHS and now the 888XHS's.
...just may retire all other jeans in my closet. This should take me down the road quite a ways in the jeans dept.
...I'll be adding to the 'People's Report Card' on these in the near future. Ciao for now.

…he Paul9221,
...I guess these will be the 'Goldilocks' pair! Right in the middle of the two I own.

…so the only thing I thought I needed now was a horse and a riding crop. The sides, above the thigh really ( top block? ), just billowed out and to say I was bummed out would be correct. Didn't make sense according to the measurements.
...decided to try and get my co-worker addicted to crack I mean Iron Heart and I was going to gift these to him just so he would see what I'm up against, well they didn't fit him at all and neither did they fit my two sons.
...I decided to just bomb them into the washer normal warm wash and threw them into the dryer like an Iron Heart sinner!! :o
...they came out perfect and I can't believe how fortunate I am to not have given them away! I think they have upstaged my XHS-555's and my XHS-634's. Though, I love them all.
…really comfortable cut! Crazy how things sometimes work out.

I honestly didn't think that the top block looked bad in the first pic, but agree that it looks better in the second. Super happy to hear that you like them!
…someone on the forum mentioned the term 'diaper butt' and I had a chuckle because that's kind of what they felt like but all is well now!
Thanks Paul9221!

…didn't take measurements but you can see the difference in the top block, thigh and the cuff.
...pretty pronounced. :o
