Hey guys.
Anybody got these and the 634s 21oz.
If so, did you take the same size in both.
Cheers.

I do, and I did, but remember to look at the measurements.  I always check the waist and thigh to ensure that it'll work out.

Thanks Paul.
Made me a little more confident.
First time buying jeans on pure measurements. 36 looks good.

888’s are flexible cuts. If you’re comparing waist sizes you can get away with a smaller measurement on the 888 than on the 634 because of the higher rise and roomier top block.

[Mni]

Perfekt. Thank you. I was wondering about that. When looking at the measurements it makes good sense.

@Mni I am generally a 36 waist. I've owned 634s in 36, but the hem was just a bit too wide in that large a waist size.

I've just ordered a 36 in 888s 21oz today, so fit pics to follow.

Thank you for the reply. Looking forward to see the fit pics.

Pre soak. As I get older, the higher rise, looser general fit, and wider hem are a better option. The fit like the 55 Big E Levis I wore when I was in my early 20s (a couple of decades ago)…

I’m telling you, I used to think that the 633 was my favorite but the rise and thigh of the 888 have me bowled over atm. I might need to get some 21oz 888 next.

I’ve said it before, the 888 is super flexible. Relaxed and vintage like you’re rocking, or with the high rise you can size down and go slim and modern.

I’m able to wear the 888 like others wear the 555 (which I can’t really touch as it is only ever going to be tight (like a tiger).

Congratulations, I’m pleased for you.

Hi, this is my first post on the forum. Recently bought my first pair of Iron Hearts, which is my first dive into Selvedge denim! After looking into everything I went with the 888s in 21oz. Love them so far, just still trying to decide if I want to keep the cuffs or hem more for the uncuffed look.

[neph93]

Look good cuffed to me. Really nice fit in general, relaxed without being sloppy. But it is personal preference. I suspect they’ll be too long to wear uncuffed, so the question is, will you be happy with them cuffed all the time?

Yeah, that’s what I’m trying to decide. I do like how it looks cuffed just not sure if I want that all the time. It would definitely be too long to go back and forth.

[Jett129]

I agree that looks like a perfect length for those particular shoes,but they might also look really good uncuffed/with stacks with different footwear.

[Echoplexi]

Guess I’m just going to need to save up for a second pair, one cuffed and one hemmed straight 

[den1mhead]

@Echoplexi I'd echo what @neph93 said regarding the fit.

The cuffs look great to me ! I think you could also wear them uncuffed, with moderate stacking.
