These look awesome. I bought the piglet instead but I'm going to have to nab a pair of these down the line.

I have to say, I'm so bloody excited about these. I've tried the 301, 555, IHxB01, 666 and 634 in that order and while I've enjoyed them all, there's been an element of compromise in each one, (live with a too wide hem, tolerate a loose waist or tight thigh. etc, etc….). The smoke signals suggest that these might be the perfect, compromise free jeans for me...

I think there are going to be some very happy customers with these

Finally, a perfect cut for me. 36 is spot on, but will have to wait for a new denim for me to justify getting a cut. Awesome cut!

Please introduce this great IH-888 Logo once again!!
It is an absolutely beaty.Edit:@Giles:
Fairly early we came up with the Lot Number 888. The 21oz version will be IH-888S.
We tried a number of really cool ideas, but either H did not like them, thought they were too cute or the pun just did not work for the Japanese sense of humour.
So @trail and arrow came up with the concept of the octopus (oct = eight) and we took it from there.

I'm so excited for these and have been checking the site daily waiting for them to drop. I have to say however after seeing the measurements I'm a little concerned about the thighs being large enough. I wear a size 34 in my 634S and the 13.3" thigh is about as tight as I would want it. Is the 13" thigh in a 888S size 34 going to be a problem, or is there some other element to this fit (the higher rise?) that might make that a non-issue? I'm sitting with a 34 in my cart right now but am wavering because of this one thing.

The fit pics have me super tempted. I am still trying to exhaust my options in prep for DWC. Rolling the dice that the tiny human sizes don't sell out quickly as these are currently the default if nothing else comes up that tickles my fancy. The taper on these looks perfect for boots, which is essential.

will there be a shrink test in advance of orders being shipped out? id like to have IH hem these for me instead of having to send them out.

Whoops, wrong thread! Yes I meant the NT. Cheers

Same issue here. The 38 has a smaller thigh (13.9") than just about every 634 (~14.3-5") variant, it's even smaller than my PIH5DCT that I just got…

I am kind of surprised no one have mentioned/ compared yet IH-633S cut ex Self Edge
Some food for thoughts here: IH-888S/ IH-633S this year 2017/ IH-633S last year 2016
(Noted waist measurement method is different Haraki IH Ltd(GB) vs Self Edge KiyaTag Size 36/ 36/ 36

SE 633 are all quite a bit off from each of the 5 they offer. The taper is about the same, but the numbers are quite a ways off. The 14 and 17 are pretty close in all areas, only maybe .3" difference. But their 18OD is .5-.7" off in thigh alone, which makes the 36 unattainable for me. And their 21oz is around 12.8" thigh compared to the 14/17 around 13.5-6". Sucks only 2 of their 633 are proper for me…don't have skinny thighs haha.
The 888 will def bet a better cut for most compared to the 633.

The major differences as I understand it is that the 888 has a higher rise (and an extra button in the fly as a result), and that the taper on the 888 starts above the knee, while the 633 starts below the knee.

It's been mentioned several times when the idea of this cut was first brought up. @neph93 is right though about the differences, the 888 has a higher rise and the taper starts earlier than the taper on the 633.
