IH-888-UHR - Indigo UHR 21/23oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut
-
I fekked my knee and had to wear a leg brace for a few months after picking these up so they've seen very little action (about five wears).
After the leg brace went I've been very unsure about them. The denim is fantastic, the cut is theoretically brilliant, and these fit me in the waist as they should, but I'm not sure how I feel about them on me.
I suspect the problem is that 1. They haven't settled and 2. It's a very different cut to what I'm used to. Not fishing for compliments, but honest opinions are welcome…
They look good @neph93 and will look even better when they break in .

I think they look great as is!
I can't speak for the UHR but i do own a pair of 888S and i feel that once they're broken in a bit they do have more of that relaxed fit feel due to the longer back rise. For me i think i got the waist right but the broken in measurements are probably a tad on the larger side. Both versions have similar measurements though I wouldn't know how the 25oz is behaving.

Gentlemen! Thank you all for the feedback, I really appreciate it.
I think they’re keepers and will look better when they’re broken in, but agree they may not be the best pair for me. Or at least not with a short vest.
I think it’s the relaxed top block that’s the issue. I’m not used to that, even on my looser jeans and it’d what’s making them wide at the top.
They look better in profile and minus the cuffs as @Untucked recommended. The front on silhouette is softened a little when they are let down. In the future I’ll stick to untucked shirts and tees until they’ve softened a bit and drape better.
Here in profile and stacked, I’ve played with the lighting on the photo a little to remove the shadows:

I was just going to say that IMO the 888 cut isn't ideal for tucking. Definitely looks better with untucked tops.

@neph93 ….but those boots though 8). Are those British Tan Wescos?

I know… got them last week and I’m in love, they’re the IHWE-5 from The Bootery https://www.ironheart.co.uk/boots2/ihwe-build-5.html.

They look awesome.

Does the restock have stealth arcs still?
…and if they do, what's the latest on the version with the contrast arcs?

If I’ve understand things correctly, last weeks IH-777-UHR and this restock represent the last of the UHR denim which suggests the contrast stitched version didn’t make the cut. I’ve may have got that wrong though.

So it looks like my tag is 31 (waist 31.5") but my fear is that it will shrink too much after first soak and I can't enjoy wearing them
As long as you do what it says on the packet you’ll be fine. My experience is that UHR is not difficult to stretch in the waist after the first shrinkage. It isn’t as uncomfortable or testing a process as the 25oz for example.
