Thank you @neph93 @Paul9221 @zhivago. These were crazy stiff after a hot soak! After some initial awkwardness, mental and physical strength, ridicule from my partner, and some yoga, these are starting to take shape nicely.

Excellent fades and fit! @Phil

Out of curiosity, has anyone else’s wife, partner, or anyone close ever asked “WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?” when breaking these in?

Here we go! The most intimidating pair of pants I've ever owned. The difference between these and my 21oz feels much more substantial than 4oz. Very excited to finally have these. Any advice for an XHS newbie?

@neph93:

@Chop that is a brilliant demonstration of the versatility of the 888 cut. It can be worn so many different ways, and styled and sized to suit many different tastes and body types. These look really good.

Thanks man!! Much appreciated.

These photos are from March but I thought I'd jump in to eventually track my progress and express how much I enjoy and appreciate the 888s. These are my second pair of IH, the first being the 634s. The 888s have been a great exploration into a completely different kind of fit. Loving these.

@neph93 @sabergirl Thanks for the input!

So I'm looking at these for my next pair.. I currently have the 888s. These would be my first 25oz. My question is about cuffing. I normally don't get my denim hemmed and usually double or triple cuff. Would that work for these or are they too thick and heavy for that kind of thing?

Really torn between these and the 14oz version.. WHAT TO DO?

Greetings from Los Angeles, my fellow denim lovers. This is my first time posting here, sharing photos of my IH-634S'. About 8 months of daily wear. Washed once. Worn hard. These are my favorite jeans and I love them.
