Hi all, greetings from Konstanz - Germany.
…
Now, question about sizing should I go for same size or I need to size up?

Welcome!

Regarding the OD 21oz. The overdying removes all shrinkage meaning OD iterations generally come up smaller. However, the OD 21oz retains all the stretching properties of the standard variant, only accentuated by the kicking the fabric takes from the OD process.

TL/DR: go with the same size. They stretch a lot.

That is a little more difficult to answer. Very different cut so will fit you differently to your 888’s. It is also very body type dependent, with the slimmest knee of all IH cuts and a sharp thigh to knee taper.

Arrived today. There is only one word to describe this great pair of jeans - perfect!
I like it more than 888. That's why I ordered one pair more

Thanks, neph93. My feeling is poor…, I would say that any past time was better....

welcome @micahmicah. I live in Carver/Chaska. This a great place to learn about and enjoy Iron Heart with likeminded people.

Ah, so cool to see other people from my state on the forum!

Former St. Louis Parker here @micahmicah ; the MN climate when I lived there for 8 years until 2014 is a big part of why I became an IH partisan–needed all the heavy gear I could get my hands on!

Few Texans (and one notably fake Texan @Chris), around. Quite a few from the Carolinas too. Welcome.

@neph93, I'm somewhat the reverse of vigilant- originally from North Carolina, now living in Texas. His move was the smarter choice.

Welcome, @vigilant, by the way.  I always liked Wilmington, though I haven't been there in forever. My grandfather used to own a shack in Wrightsville Beach, and I have find memories of going there in the summer when I was a kid.
