IH-888-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/blk
-
My IH-888S-21od (88cm waist size) I can open the first button and let the others closed and I‘m able to put them on and off. In the photo you can see that on the hip side I can fit two fingers in. Basically, I don’t wear them without a belt.
I like the relaxed fit though, so I‘m not bothered but I would prefer if they would be slightly tighter and that should be the case if I go for the same size with the 25oz or am I thinking wrong?!The only thing that worries me is that with my current IIY5 competition pair that really fits me well I‘m measuring 89cm for the waist size and that’s a 22oz but it’s a slim cut and not really comparable with the 888 cut.

@Indigo-Alchemist I'd just measure your "most comfortable pair" and go with the measurements when they come out... The good part is if they're too big you can always wear a belt, but if they're too tight there's no fix and can't wear them...

@Jord yeah, I‘m probably overthinking it. Just don’t want them too wide. If that happens to a shirt I can always tell myself it’s for layering but that won’t work with pants, for me at least
Sort of what @worn2fade mentioned below with the bunched up waistband, don’t like that either -
@Indigo-Alchemist IMO your best bet is to only compare the 888-XHSib size chart to your current 888’s.
If they measure 88cm at the waist and you want them a tad more snug, then when looking at the size chart check for some that measure a little less than that— just make sure that you’re cool with all other measurements. Measure the thigh on your current OD pair and if you dig how your thigh is on those make sure that you find that measurement in your new pair too. In my opinion, the most important measurement is the thigh (may be a personal thing bc I have big thighs which is what draws me to the 888 cut.)
Also pay attention to the hem. If you size down, so will that hem and a quarter inch of a difference is a huge difference when it comes to the hem.
