IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

[flavour79]

Am liking this cut so far that am thinking of doubling up even though I also have the NT and UHR version on my mind. I sized down in these and they fit perfect after initially ordering them in my tts. Well done Giles and the Crew for this cut.
Big thanks also goes to Adam for being so professional with answering my questions and requests.

@neph93:

–-if you're long legged and slim these will still work really well as the taper isn't extreme and the hem not as narrow as the 555 or 777. The wider thigh will also help offset the elongating effect. If you like the 633's then the 888's might be even better as they taper from above the knee so it's spread over a longer length.

Thanks @neph93. Your comments are nudging me right into the octopus' arms! Maybe that is the reason IH chose an octopus for the 888: for people all legs and no torso.

I may wait for the 888 OD, as I don't have any like that. If that works well for me, I'll start to hope for 888's in other fabric and colors.

Day one with the octopus.

Thanks for all the kind words.

Neph what's the significance of the date in the inside pocket? Is it to tell how old you have had the denims?

It's the date his warm milk expires.

I think that's,actually,a really cool picture.

So what ya think about the new cut @neph93 ?

I can't wait to see more denim released for this cut. I only really waiting on one denim really, which is good…saves money ha.

I am very happy the front pockets are deeper, one huge bonus. Some of my IH are perfect, mostly the double knees. The pihan10 straight cut is pretty good, could use an extra 3/4" to be perfect for me. My 634sb are def the shortest bags I have. While the double duck and 25od seem to be spot on.

Any idea how well they are selling in Japan @Giles ? If they are selling the cut….

Anyone here who also wears the 1955S? If so what are the main differences (when you wear it - I've seen the charts.)

Despite being into denim for over  four years, I'm still at that geek stage where I keep track of how many days wear my jeans have. So that is the start date [emoji851]

Uhm… I only wore them for 2-3 hours yesterday and according to the Big Neph Book of Denim Geekery, it takes at least 8 hours wear for it to constitute a wear day. So today is day one. I was just getting them ready last night when I took this photo (ohmygodsomebodyshootme)

[Jett129]

I keep a record of daily jeanswear kind of like a spreadsheet. Four hours is my over/under for a days wear. Four or less counts as a half day,five or more gets credit for a whole day. How's that for geeky.

IMHO a day count only adds unnecessary complexity to an easy task: wearing jeans and enjoying it.

[neph93]

It's part of the fun for me. I like comparing how different denim looks at day 50, day 200 etc. But as we've already established I'm basically Leonard from Big Bang Theory in good jeans [emoji1]
