IH-888-NT - 21/23oz indigo Selvedge DWC Jeans
-
No hate, honest observations are welcome. Thing is, different cuts work in different ways on different bodies and not everyone can wear every cut. Personally, i love the top block on the 666 and 634, but the straight leg isn’t the best for my (ahem) chunkiness. The taper on the 555 is brilliant, but the top block tends to be a bit ragged. I haven’t even tried the 777 because I’m fairly sure my afrobutt won’t get on with the low rise. The 888 is good for me though.
I’ve tried the 888 in the 21oz and have the UHR inbound. My thinking is, you can definitely size down as the high rise means the waistband hits at a slimmer part of the torso (on many).
This. I went with a 36 only because of my thunder thighs and booty. If not for them I could have EASILY sized down to 35.

Yeah i have a bigger pair incoming in order to fit my thighs. they are long, too, so i kind of need a bigger knee. Love my 1955s, though.

I just want to say how much I love the UHR fabric. That's all.

Had my UHR BB’s on today and yesterday and thought the same thing. Also there us no better denim when the temps drop below 0C and the wind starts howling.

I love mine now… like sexy sweat pants!

I believe it. It’s been 30F damp and windy here. And the Pronto 25 has been a god send on the job. And the UHR breathes less. That’s a winter jean for sure.

I gifted my pair of short hem UHRs to one of my best friends and they fit perfectly!

Are all the 888 UHRs being made with indigo arcs. I ask as this cut with an undersized waist could suit my frame but I only like the normal gold arcs.

Only stealth arcs.

It’s the magic of UHR. If I wear IH 21oz for work and lounging around in the weekend it would take me 60 days wear to get where yours are now. I have to do building work to get it to fade properly. Which I actually love because 21oz fades are beautiful, but that’s another story.
I have a pair of BB UHR that are too big and got washed on 40C once, 60C twice and had two hot soaks to get all shrinkage out. I’ve worn them for about 60 days over the course of the last 18 months and they’re my second most faded jean. I might mostly sit on my arse and go down the shops in them. Madness.

Crappy low light pics but here goes:
I'm really liking this cut. The rise length just hits the sweet spot for me, super comfortable and looks great. The top block is relaxed without looking loose or distracting from the overall slim (on me) silhouette. One feature I count as a real blessing is the dept of the front pockets. Thanks goodness these are deep and easy access enough to put your hands in, for once!

Got some extra shrinkage in the length last night… sitting in the rain at work.

Is that Elland Road Joe?

No, it’s Loftus Road.

Is it just me or does anyone else have baggy crotch syndrome on the front rise? Maybe that’s how they’re supposed to be or I just need to get more shrink. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
