Great fit man. Everything else fees cheap to me now. Can’t wear anything else.

[UnTucked]

The legs are soaking in a hot bath right now…

Hope to start breaking them in tomorrow!

I love my 888NT. They fade so fast. You’re gonna love yours.

@neph93:

Yes, unless you want your jeans to shrink a whole bunch when they finally see hot water. By that time though they’ll be ruined because the stitching will have broken and there’ll be tears at the sharply creased areas.

This is loomstate denim. It has seen no water since it was dyed with indigo. Until it is soaked and washed the stitching isn’t embedded and the denim is prone to creasing and tearing.

Sage advice…. I'm following it now, sans machine wash.

Legs only, cancelled. Whole pants are submerged.

Good man. The new kit looks great btw. But you knew that.

[spitfiredealer]

Don't think I have ever seen you in jeans @UnTucked
Looks good

It's a rare occasion until now, lol

So, day one of wear…

First and foremost: BUTTONS 
My soft lil' keyboard hands were not at all prepared for this, lol!

Aside from that, I love these jeans so far. VERY comfortable. The high rise sits perfectly, and the thigh is spot on. I probably could have afforded to go down one size, but I know the break-in stretching would definitely deter me from wearing them as much. If I double back and get the IH-888-RE, I'll definitely size down.

Now… I wear, wash and wait!

Cheers!

They look very good. I couldn't get that more relaxed way of wearing them to work for me so had to size down and hem. Looks perfect on you though.

I'm a habitual line stepper when it comes to what I wear to work…

I've never been reprimanded or warned, but I know I skirt a fine line. If it ever comes up, I'll ask the amazingly dickish questions "Do ANY of you guys look more presentable than me on any given day?" and "Is wearing a t-shirt and jeans more or less professional than not wearing deodorant?"

@UnTucked:

….professional than not wearing deodorant?"

THIS. When I used to work in IT I'd get comments about tapered trousers and Chelsea boots where as not showering was more socially acceptable!

IT jobs are the only place where nerds get to team up and pick on the "cool guys", lol!

This^ Bullying and Group think does not discriminate. Every group, for the most part, has a pecking order and pulls the same shit as the next. IMO

Also @UnTucked that’s a great fit.

Agreed, smokin'. However, the doggo's face is a bit like "I never asked for this."

Loving these jawnz…

Day 4 of wear, and they're starting to settle nicely

[Ceeds]

Currently have a 33 in the 888S and looking into purchasing these… any idea if a 34 would be the best bet, or should I consider a 36? I definitely can’t afford a pair fitting tighter than my 21oz throughout the legs, so the shrink amount on these has me concerned and confused!

[Matty123]

There is a shrink test somewhere here on this thread. I would Go with the same size as 888s if I were you. They don’t shrink as much as you would Expect.

@neph93 will be here shortly to Answer all of your questions. Amply.

@Ceeds

Thanks for the feedback! I’m just concerned about the thigh dropping under 13” and the knee under 9”

[neph93]

@Ceeds  the thigh and knee may drop just under those measurements after the soak and wash but will stretch back too, with wear. I’d certainly recommend the 33 as they will be closest to your 888S in the long run. I suspect you’d find yourself with far too much room in the tag 34.

You could always ask IHUK to see if they have a pair of tag 33 with a slightly wider leg.
