IH-888-NT - 21/23oz indigo Selvedge DWC Jeans

[Giles]

This is not feckin rocket science and is effectively exactly the same thing as we have done for the last 2 competitions.

Same jean, different patch, DWC cheaper to encourage participation.

If that's too complicated for you, then perhaps we better do a zipper edition…..

Velcro! Or better yet, elastic!!!

What's the shrinkage like on the UHR?

[UnTucked]

Being that the size chart is "post soak", I'm guessing that the IH crew will be doing the math to ensure hemming of the raw jeans will equate to the desired post soak length?

We have shrunk the sample UHR pair, results will come later today when I have time to measure. @awalden

Would love to see their raw measurements. I think they'll be much more helpful as everyone has their own routine/soaking/washing ritual etc.

You ain't getting them until we actually get them here and measure.  You'll have to extrapolate from this:

So there will be a 888Z then? Brilliant

Front rise of 35 is def WAY off…haha.

[Megatron1505]

It's the new "chin warmer" rise we've been working on for people specifically with a 35 waist 

[Seul]

I'm completely chuffed that both the DWC is taking place again, and that these pair of jeans exist… But I think I'm gonna be a bit of a Debby downer and just get the less threatening 21oz'es... Too old for this shit...

However, I can't wait for evo pics!..

Whoops and fixed….

@Matty123:

@Giles:

The difference in rise reduces as the tag size gets larger, we tried to normalise the rise over the size range…

Larger thigh
More taper from the knee to the cuff - large guys don't necessarily wear boats (yes boats)

Loads of constructional differences....

ok, thanks… er what are boats and why dont i wear them??

Or if 13 like me, gunboats.

Guys , what is NT and S? I get UHR but not sure what the other two are

@steelworker I'm a size 14, and my father said my shoes came from Vickers in Barrow-in-Furness.

The 888s look really nice, and I really like my 1955 UHRs. Not being Indonesian, I find them a bit warm to wear in the summer months.

Incidentally, given the upcoming 888Z, when's the overdyed version coming?
