IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
^ It's a great cut. Congrats.
I was standing in front of a mirror in Rivet and Hide for about 10 minutes talking myself out of parting with £250 as I'd just bought my 526 19oz lefty type III and didn't think my good wife would appreciate the double purchase! that fit great and with the expected 1 inch stretch will be like a glove. I'm 6'2" and 16 st, and I find that a lot of jeans have to wider leg opening for my tastes for a larger waist size (I swing between a 36 and 38). The 36 in this cut are snug, but I cold instantly tell the stretch I'd get in time with wear.
As naff as some people think it I really like matching double denim, and these will go great with my lefty, and my lefty goes great with my 555s.
The funny thing is I went in R & H for a pair of Viberg engineer boots and came away with a new jacket and jeans combo! Iron Heart strikes me again!!

Nobody here came blame you @Stuart.T and you made a good choice picking up a pair of the 888. It's such a damn good cut and I can't wait for more 888 denims.

You'll get all the stretch you need I assure you. Also, dare to double denim!

That's good news

I think that's bad news. I hope that future runs in other denim are true to original concept.

Nope. Decided to stay with the measurements of the first batch….
Personally, that makes me happy. I underestimated the 21oz again and need to flip my W35 and size down. This is such a good cut. Perfect balance between waist and thigh, and the higher rise makes them very stylish.

Are you normally a 34 in most other IH cuts?

Sorry. But this has been one of the fastest selling jeans we have ever released. True the concept is not exactly what I was aiming for, but I'd be pretty stupid to tamper with the cut and risk screwing sales. Tom thinks (and I have my fingers firmly crossed) that the IH-888NT will be closer to the original concept…
-
So Giles if these are staying as is which is fair enough considering how well they are doing sales wise. Does that mean there is room for another relaxed top block tapered cut in the future?

Excellent question. I too look forward to the comparison.

Picked up a pair of 36's yesterday from Mildblend in Chicago and had them hemmed to 31". Im short and fat. They feel perfect everywhere and will be really nice with some stretching in the top block.
Question though. The leg opening is close to 9" anyone have any advice on how to shrink the legs below the knee? I wish they had just a little more taper. If I was taller it wouldn't be a problem as they tapered more but i had 4-5" cut off the length.Oh and my truck got towed while I was there. 45 minutes. These are now a 875 dollar pair of pants with my tow bill.

@BrettD Your jeans are Ultra Heavy Raw? You can get about .75 inches of shrink with some boiling hot water if you just soak them below the knee… I mean don't even touch the part above the knee with water.The 21 oz denim won't shrink at all.

@neph93 I have uhr on the mind and I'm a little tipsy at the moment.
