I did the compare for you @henry_david
Looks like the W33 Ih-888-xhs might be a winner… It would be a risk, but if you can do the thigh on the W32 and then tolerate a tighter waist while these stretch you could try that route. This is what I have done on a couple of occasions and it works, although it is less risky/uncomfortable with 21oz or 21oz OD.

How much does the thigh stretch out you think? Looks like I could totally swing the 32 – willing to do the painful work of stretching

The XHS will shrink about 0.3" and stretch back out to around the same as it was pre wash, maybe a little more.

Well then it's settled for me. My WTB is set as follows: IH-805, IH-814-IND, and then some IH-888S-142.
I wanna snag the first two both because they're epic and also cause I wanna annoy my wife Thank you for helping out with this!

Even if you go 33 or 34, you’re looking at a much slimmer leg profile and much higher rise, which hopefully is what you’re looking for.
I’ve subscribed to the more room for life philosophy recently. I leave the stretching to the fresh ones, I’m in the fermented category

Yeah, true… See this is in part why a bud of mine had been trying to get me into some TCB 50s – roomy thigh and a little anti-fit.

Agreed, I could have stretched the 30 in the 888 but the bit of extra room in my comfortable pair size 31 is easily solved with a belt.

@Nkwkfld – I do rock an IHB-08 every day anyway so not a biggie for me

That being said, I’ve only dabbled in the 18+oz. category. The same dimensions in 14oz denim might feel bigger/looser than with 21oz or XHS.

And I've never had anything from IH other than 21oz or XHS. In fact, I was chatting with Reuben about the XHS in the 888 cut. However I wanna simplify and so decided that instead of getting both the XHS in the 888 and the 14oz in the 634, I would just get the 888 in the 14oz to keep things easier (and not empty my wallet entirely lol). I want a more summer weight denim so that I can cycle in some jeans in lieu of joining the spandex clad ranks of cyclists around these parts (guilty as charged).

About how long does a UPS package (return label) take to get from East Coast CONUS to Gos Vegas?
@Chesson mom shipped the 805 overalls today…

A cuff and crotch darning. And maybe some photos for the Fade Archive if they are deemed worthy. -
I’m sure they are worthy! They’re the reason I’m in them right now… maybe you should join the GA chest snap club...

I need to get my spending under control… I just bought another pair of XHS and a shirt today.... so probably not.

Wow. That's really fast. Thanks.

@The Web Minions I noticed my tag notifications/DM/email has been non-functional for the last 12 hours or so… I'm not complaining, but I figured you'd want to know.
Oops, I guess perhaps it was the gmail email server. Because I just got a few but it was rather belated.
