IH-888-NT - 21/23oz indigo Selvedge DWC Jeans
-
If my intuition suggests tag size 32, then size 31 is probably correct, right?
I’d be shooting for 32”ish waist post-shrink, post-stretch; looking at the measurements, tag size 31 which starts at 31.5” should fit the bill. I’d prefer the front rise of a size 32 pair, though; on the other hand, the slimmer leg from thigh-down on a size 31 pair is also very welcome. It would seem the raw thigh measurement of 12.5” on a size 31 pair would translate to 12+” post-wash, which would be ok.
What’s the ETA on the black versions? Was it so that they were meant to follow the sizing convention of the UHR model, give or take?

4 month update on my 888-NT, size 34. Near daily wear, with a couple of days switching to other pairs. 6 washes and a dryer cycles so far. This is the fastest fading denim I've owned. The deeper front pockets and all the other fine points are greatly appreciated. Mostly I wear them uncuffed, occasionally double cuffed.
The GF continually reminds me that these are her least favorite of all of my jeans. I don't think they look that bad. I don't think I like this cut as much as the 634 (or especially 633; I don't own a pair in any flavor). The extra rise is welcome. The hips are wide, and there's a lot of extra material in the front and rear junk area. These ride down on my hips rather than stay up at my waist, unless I cinch a belt, otherwise leads to a rather strong showing of diaper butt. Maybe I could have sized down 1 in the NT for a trimmer fit, however then I'd be concerned about them being a little too tight and restrict basic movements. I still haven't achieved my previous thigh and arse mass which would help fill these out more.
These 34's are very comfy.
