Are you still considering them? @sabergirl

Is sizing on those similar to the 634s?

My opinion is yes. You should go same tag size. In the size chart looks like you can go to tag 31 but this denim will shrink and it's too heavy of a fabric to be tight.

Nice one G!

The 21oz is sanforized and once washed.Shrinkage will be minimal if any. Wear them and when is time to wash see if they shrunk any and then hem. None of my 21oz pairs have shrunk

Very nice choice, sizing looks spot on. They will not shrink so don't expect to loose an inch in the inseam. Welcome to the forum

The 555 is an option as long as you clear handle the slim leg and taper to the knee. They have the tightest knee measurement than any other iron heart cut. The cool thing about the 888 is that you can sizedown and still have good leg room. If the waist fits you on the 888 you will have no issue anywhere else.

The best advice I can give you is, measure both pairs the Iron Heart way and then compare the measurements to the 888 chart for the tag size that you are looking into getting. The Iron Heart size chart are very accurate. You can always email the Iron Heart crew and they can find you an 888 with your ideal measurements or as close as.possible.

@m4xime . I don't know how the 3Sixteen fits but the PBJ xx013 is miles different from the 888. The PBJ is must slimer though out the whole leg for the same tag size. Also the xx013 has a lowish rise... The 888 is also looser fitting than the xx019 also which is PBJ version of a higher rise taper.

If you are a 634/33/888 guy the 1955 will work also. It has a high rise like the 888 and maybe a bit higher and the taper is similar to the 633 I think, as the knee measurement of the 1955 is wider than the 888.

Safe travels Giles

@Mindfulbiscuit..on paper the difference between the 633 and 888 will be the rise, with the 888 having a higher back rise and maybe slightly higher front rise and the taper that in the 888 it starts at mid thigh vs the 633 that starts at the knee. Again I said theoretically because I do not not own a 633. I have 634's and 888's. The 633 it suppose to be a 634 with a taper starting at the knee to hem.

Their high beat movement is very nice also. You cannot go wrong with either Spring drive or the high beat. Accuracy wise Spring drive is in a class of each own.

Great choice @Giles

@TinMan. So based on your experience with both cuts you think the top block of the 888 is looser than the 1955?

The 3rd one for sure. Spring drive and a clean elegant dial in a 38.5mm timeless case size. No brainer

@JDelage. For sure man that Tudor FXD GMT is on my radar also. Killer watch!

You can soak them. Nothing wrong with that. Just don't expect any shrinkage just from a soak. Lots of people soak their jeans to get the creases set.

The 21oz is sanforized and once washed. It's very difficult to shrink any further as almost all shrinkage has been done.
