IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
I am not sure if this is the best thread but am hoping someone can help. I have never tried Iron Heart jeans and don't have a store near by, so I'll have to order a pair and hope for the best. I have large thighs and am looking for the Iron Heart cut with the largest thighs. So far the Left Field Atlas cut has been the best fitting cut I can find. Has anyone worn both jeans? Are the 888s similarly roomy in the thigh? Thanks for any help!
I have 3 pairs in Atlas and 4 pairs in the 888 cut so I'd consider myself a bit of an expert here.
The Atlas and 888 cuts are virtually indistinguishable from the waist band down to the mid-thigh (~6" below the crotch seam).
Below that point, the 888's taper is more gradual than the Atlas', typically leaving 0.5" more room at the knee, and a full inch at the hem.
Whereas the Atlas hugs my knees and calves, the 888 leaves a nice amount of breathing room without appearing at all baggy.

After washing I apply a little bit of Bick 4 to the patch.
I’m actually right handed, but I’ve always put my wallet in my left pocket.

Man, I forgot how awesome IH’s shipping is to the East Coat, USA.
Just got my size 32 in, and realized THIS is the size I should have originally picked up! They are legit perfect from the waist down. The waistband is a bit tight, but I’m hoping for around an inch of stretch (my 33s went about 1.5”).

I feel like this is a lesson I should have learned a long time ago, especially with the 21oz. For the longest time ive been sizing up on the 555 cut to make the thighs work. Turns out I should have went with the 888 all along. Thighs AND waist fit perfect when I factor in stretch. Live and learn i guess.
