21oz Shinayaka Selvedge Denim
-
Perhaps this is the wrong place to ask this question, but forgive me, I'm new to the IH forums.
I have tried very, very hard to find an IH fit that works for me. I am 6'1'', 165lbs. Very tall and thin, particularly in the legs. But I have a big butt and wide hips, which seems to throw off denim fits. The problem I keep having is that the hips and seat of IH jeans are too tight, which causes me lower back pain. I'm looking for a little help finding the next cut to try, and I think the Shinyaka is the best bet. I have tried (and subsequently had to sell):
-IH-555s, tag size 33 (hip discomfort when sitting)
-IH-777s, tag sizes 33 and 34 (hip discomfort and not enough room in the seat)
-IH-777-SST, tag size 36 (oddly, fit worse than the 777s 34, although I appreciated the bend in the legs)
-IH-888s, tag size 33 (too small in the waist).I'm trying to translate the constellation of bad fits above to solve this problem, because I'm determined to find a fit that works. For someone who has a big butt and skinny legs, do you think I should try:
-IH555-SST in a larger tag size to make sure the waist is bigger than the 33;
-IH666-SST in a 34 or 36 tag size; or
-IH888-SST in a 34 or 36 tag size?I recognize the IH method of measuring pants that already fit and comparing, but I honestly think that my difficulty lies in the seat and the weight of the fabric. I'm really just looking for some general guidance here.
Thanks in advance.

Out of those 3 fits the 888 will have the most room in the seat. The 555 does have a lower front rise, though, which may help the waist feel less constricting. The shinayaka does have good stretch to it, so you may feel some relief in the hips on any pair. I wouldn’t recommend the 666, as the top block is tighter.

Wow.. two very nice examples! Thanks you two!
I’m even more saddened I didn’t jump on these when they were released

@Brock they look so awesome in @Nik and @sabergirl photos!
I was in disadvantage of not being around IH when they dropped. But I'm rather sure they will make re-appearance. Haraki was mentioned it in his blog a year ago. Considering all the supply chain issues, they seem to be delayed. -
