IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

@Paul9221:

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..?

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.

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.

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