      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.

            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.

                  Does the restock have stealth arcs still?

                      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.

                        The restock has contrast arcs (I had forgotten that I specced them this way - doh….)

                        We will sort out how to represent the 2 versions on the site today.

                        Sorry for the confusion

                          So, do they stretch an inch after shrinking an inch???

                            They do indeed.

                              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.
