IH-888-NT - 21/23oz indigo Selvedge DWC Jeans
-
I was going to be a purist and wait until today to wear them… but I managed to soak and dry yesterday before work and by 3p.m. GMT I figured it must be 1st of November in Japan so I wore them to work. I think I got some shrinkage in the length and thigh, but they are very comfortable. Need to sort out the hem as I have a massive cuff. -
The 888NT got me back into IH after I've almost given up on the brand due to my thigh measurements after gaining a good 6 KGs. My thanks to Gav @Megatron1505 , @Giles and the Stubborn crew for making it happen.
I received my pair yesterday, it's a beast as expected. The pre-soak fit was promising. I've soaked and washed it but have yet to tried it on post shrink. Can't wait till I get home tonight to see how it fits now! Happy to have IH denim back on my legs soon, it's been a while..

The last few left after pre-orders have been sorted out are now live….....
Sent Ivan an email RE: possible sz 34 purchase if we can find one with a bigger knee/lower thigh.

Leather patch really got hard after the wash and soak. I did some treatment twice already

Just got my jeans back from hemming and they botched it and took it up to a 28" even though I have it written to hem to 32". So I guess these are now a wash and unwearable. Bummer. I can't even re-order another pair because my size is sold out.

What about the non contest patch 21/23 jeans? Is your size available there?
Checking now.
Edit: The guy just called me back and said he would comp me a pair and LUCKILY there are some 36s still available in the 21/23 UHR. He's talking to his connect at Mildblend now and I just hope that I can get them with the same smaller waist 36 measurements that IH was able to find for me.

What a perfect fit, @zatenm! I hope the taper on mine is that strong!

One pair of my largest needle-nosed pliers and two deeply bruised thumbs later, I finally got all five buttons done up. So glad I didn’t try to go with a large 38 over this slightly small 40. I had my doubts about the rise and thighs but everything seems great so far. Looking forward to seeing them in the daylight tomorrow.

Jordan, if you buy them from us, we can swap the patch to the NT and hem them here for you.
