      @yannis:

      I will try. Selfedge and Iron Heart measure the thigh in a different way. Selfedge measures an inch below the croch seam while Iron heart measures right at the croch plus the little extra from the back side. The end result is that the Selfedge measurements are usually 0.5 of an inch smaller than the Iron Heart way. The best advice i can give is, to measure a pair of jeans that you have using the Iron Heart how to measure instructions listed, and compare..

      Ok.  That makes more sense. Measuring that way makes the 888’s bigger than what I’m currently wearing but not crazy big.  Thanks.  Can I assume the waist will stretch out about an inch?

        More like 2 inches if you need them to. I sized down to 34 (which had a starting measurement of 33.6) and they stretched out to 36 (my true waist).

          Perfect!  Thanks. I think my true waist is approaching 35 so a 34 should work for me as well.

            I really appreciate this forum. Come to ask a question, look, and my exact question has just been answered already.

            Thanks @jmceachern too for apparently being around the same size as me!

              ??? What is this alchemy… Have I found a cut that actually fits...? How are they so soft straight out of the bag? What the hell is this?

              Can I get a quick fit check to confirm that I'm not going crazy here before I start wearing them properly. The waist feels great while the top block and thighs feel nice and roomy even with all my crap in my pockets. Waist feels a little snug when seated, but doesn't feel like anything a day or two's wear wont fix.

              What do you guys and gals think of the fit? (Sorry if front, side and rear shots is overkill.)

              I think I get it. I think I understand IH now.

                  Not overkill… just being thorough!

                  Glad you’ve found something that works. The 888 is a flexible fit that works for many people, often in different ways. These look great on you.

                  The 21oz will stretch in the waist meaningfully so the tightness there is welcome at this point.

                    Thanks @Dmart and @neph93. I've cut the tags off!

                    I can squat down, bend over and do lunges in these no problem. It's unreal. I've never been able to do that this comfortably with a pair that actually fit at the waist before (because the thighs and top block would be too tight).

                    Just no one tell Mrs H that I bought another pair of jeans…

                        These are my first pair of IH jeans, I just cut the tags off too.  It's nice to finally find a pair of quality jeans that fit so well.

                        The wife also approves of how they look so that's a big win.

                                        *and UHF work shirts are perfect hiking shirts 😅

                                          If there was anything I’d change with this cut, it’d be a more centered back pocket placement
                                          and just a tad bit tighter back seat (or I should add another leg day…)

                                          But who am I to complain - this cut is damn near perfect!

                                          Use it or lose it.

                                            Almost all IH jeans have wide pocket placements. You need to have access to them if you're sat on a bike  😃
