IH-888-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

First wear today. Gonna have to admit you guys were right and the dudes at Self Edge were wrong: should have gone for the 33. Even after a warm machine wash they barely shrunk (except in inseam which was genuinely almost an inch). I think the cut through the leg is okay but the waist is very loose and the top block is a bit messy. Oh well, you live and learn. If I can't stand it within the next month or so maybe I'll try to resell and recoup some of the damage...

@schraiber I’ve come to appreciate a little extra room in the waist in XHS. Also it’s good to have some size variety for weight fluctuation in my experience. I think the fit looks good.

You want'em faded? This is the way to go!

Today

Fades are poppin today!! I can’t get over how good the 888 fit feels. Love the high rise and subtle taper. Feels & looks like a perfect pair of 1980s 501s you might have seen worn by Jerry Seinfeld in an aircooled 911.

@RJScheuerle my all time favorites. Mine are like a pair of sweats at this point. I washed a lot so they aren't super contrasty but the are fading nicely.

I got this thin diagonal fade. Is this due to an abrasion or natural fiber width inconsistency in the loom? I’ve seen this happen once on another pair of raw denim.
