    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.

      Blanket-line all the things!!!

        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..?

              ..Asking for a friend! 😉

                I believe a lightweight version is coming down the line…

                  Maybe so. Maybe not

                    Regular 14 oz?

                      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.

                                    Hey y’all, I don’t post on here a whole lot, but I’m just shy of a year owned, several washes in, I alternated between these and the Superblack version a lot this year, my evolution on these looks great, in my opinion.

                                    Now and forever.

                                        Thanks, and I do not! You’re talking about the compilation right?  My father used to go to Max’s way back then.
