IH-888-NT - 21/23oz indigo Selvedge DWC Jeans

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.
I’m Really sorry to hear that. If at all possible you should have him buy you the comped pair from IH UK. That way you can have the patch swapped and get the best hemming job taboot.

What a perfect fit, @zatenm! I hope the taper on mine is that strong!
Thanks @Jordanxbuffer ! It's a very flattering cut, no doubt. I hope you get the fit you're looking for.. Please post some pics when you can

^ good stuff! Thanks for the info too. I may yet fold and get me a pair…
Neph I think you and I both need to accept our fate…It's happening.

First day wearing the IH-888-NT. Inseam shrunk two inches and the waist shrunk one inch with a 3 hour cold soak, and two hot washes (no spin). Patch was treated with Renaissance wax (front and back) pre soak and it still looks brand
Care to elaborate on the wax brand? I googled renaissance wax and got results for a
Museum Quality metal wax… thanks -

@Matty123 You have found the correct wax. On the tin, the uses include metal, leather, porcelain, etc… I have used it before on knives (to prevent corrosion), leather (moisture repellent), and wood (light polish). I have had good results when used as directed (small amount worked into the surface)
I don’t know of any long term issues, but it has been working for me for the last 7-8 years.

This is monumental flip flopping

I didn't get as much shrink as I expected in the length - 1.5". I was looking for an inseam of around 33-33.5", and it was recommended I get them at 35.5". Now they are at 34.0", which is too long in this cut. I'll have to get them hemmed again. I usually don't wear cuffs, and like some stacks, but this is too much.
Pre and Post measurements, size 34;
Waist: 34.0" - 33.0"
Front rise: 12" - 11.5"
Back rise: 16.5" - 15.75"
Thigh @ crotch: 13.325" - 13.0"
Thigh 2" down: 12.5 - 12.0"
knee @ 14" down: 9.25" - 9.0"
Hem: 8.5" - 8.325"
Inseam: 35.5" - 34.0"Overall, at the moment, I'm not as stoked as most fella's here are. I think these 34's are a size too big in the waist and top block, but the thighs down are good. But if I had gone with a 33 I'd have thighs on the tight side. I'm fearful that once the denim stretches out and relaxes, I'm gonna have saggy crotch and diaper butt due to the high rise. I'll give them another hot wash soon to get any remaining shrink out, but I don't expect much more. When I get them hemmed 1" shorter I'll probably feel better about them.
Once I'm fully recovered from recent surgeries, start exercising again at full tilt and get my ass back, I might fill these jeans out a bit more.

Dude, that is a great fit! And I can attest - the shrinkage for UHR dosnt fully occur until the 3rd or 4th wash, so you will be good!
