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

–-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.

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.

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….

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)

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

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]
And with a cool British accent. American chicks love British accents.
