    @Ceeds I'm in agreement with everyone else.  The cut looks damn good on you and no carrot cut look at all.  Ultimately you're the one that has to be happy with them but they look terrific, really.

      I'm trying to visualize the carrot look but i'm not seeing it from your pics either.

          I’m trying to envision Giles in Spandex. Can’t do that either.

              First let me say: those look great, and this is definitely the cut for you.

              As for carrot-fit vibes, I don’t get them—but I almost never do, and I don’t see the problem, anyway. What is everyone’s objection to a relaxed top block with an aggressive taper. I really like that look. Might be because my “assets” can fill out even the most relaxed fit at the top, though.

                Hey guys, apologies if this has been asked and answered already but, what with the bigger rise compared to the 634s, did you guys make any adjustments to your standard hem length on these?  If I like my 634s hemmed to 34”, should I get these hemmed to 33”?

                Blanket-line all the things!!!

                  I guess this would depend on how you wear your jeans. I made adjustment to my tag size as I needed a smaller waist because the jeans sit higher up as a result of the rise. Inseam stayed the same.

                  But I suppose that if one wore the 888 jeans at the same waist level and let the top block hang (sagging, basically) you might need a shorter inseam.

                    Hey Neph, I had a feeling it wouldn't be that simple 😃  And thanks for bringing up the point on the waist.  Let me make some calculations on what size would work best at a higher waist-line.

                      Making calculations is a big part of coming prepared but as you consider sizing down, think of this guy. You don't want to be this guy, higher waist or no higher waist:

                      Photo lifted from another messageboard without the guy's permission but I'm sure he wouldn't mind setting a (warning) example. The model in the photo is LVC something with high waist and apparently some room for sizing down.

                      Having tried the 888S before, I would wear my normal size… and as a matter of fact I will, as I shall cop the UHR version before they get extinct.

                        The Crocs really seal that picture 😉

                        I don't think that I would size down. I'm just still trying to figure out if high rise is for me.  I really don't need another pair but you guys are enticing me with your sweet fit pics 🙂

                          All good points @Crit_Obs  @Paul9221  your answer is somewhere at the intersection of personal style and body shape.

                          I have a Afro-bum and an actual waist so my standard size (W35+) was far too big in the 888S (which had an actual starting waist of 34”). I flipped them and went for the 888-UHR in W34. They work great. Given the 21oz stretch I’d actually go for a W33 in the 888S if I were to buy again. But that is me and my fat ass (literally).

                          It’s a great cut at any rate, and certainly worth the effort to get it right.

                            Hi all! New here. Just wondering if we'll be seeing the 888 in a new IH denim any time soon..?

                              I believe a lightweight version is coming down the line…

                                Aaaand the 25oz XHS-IB. I think there’s a thread around here somewhere ::)

                                Maybe so. Maybe not

                                    Tonal stitching a la SExIH 633S-II would be the dream scenario for me here.

                                      We already do a 14.7oz https://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/ih-888s-re.html

                                      And we will also release a 14oz in indigo and overdyed, probably Jan.

                                        When is the restock of these due? I've probably asked before… Sorry.
