      @mpukas:

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

      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.

                The journey is the objective.

                  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.

                      The 21oz denim will not shrink I'm afraid.

                            Thanks.

                            Ill wear them for a bit and see if they grow on me. If, maybe Ill send them to Railcar or somewhere and have them tapered below the knee.
                            I feel like a priss right now. I really wanted these pants for all the room in the top block. I bought some Naked and Famous easy guy pants recently because of the top block room and high rise. They are almost too big in the top and taper too much. These are perfect from the knee up but just a little big on the opening for my tastes…

                            Still so nice!!!

                              You should send the to railcar for the taper. I sent my 634s to them for a full
                              Leg taper and they did a great job.

                              Maybe so. Maybe not

                                    Here is the 633-14 in a size 36 compared to the 888s world tour jeans sz 36 (yes the tour jeans are a bit larger in the thigh than the production run, but close enough:

                                      The backrise on the 888 is about an inch higher than the size chart suggests? Is that just the world tour pair or through out. I was hopping the 888 BR would be what the size chart states

                                      Maybe so. Maybe not

                                        I can only say what the World Tour pair measures, and I always trust the IHUK crew on their measures. However, there may always be a bit of variation between pairs.

                                          The WT jeans were before measurements were tweaked. I would use the IHUK table for the standard measurements.
