IH-888S-21 - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

@hgering27:

@Dmart yeah I think thats why I am leaning more towards 888 right now. I am wearing 555sbg right now and I love them, but If they are heavier than how these feel, I might need to rely on some of that looser fit in the 888

The UHR is objectively a little heavier after soak, but the SBG is pretty gnarly stuff in itself so you’ll tackle these. As stated UHR iterations tend to come up a little bigger than other iterations due to the nature of the denim. It requires more leeway when being sewn up due to being loomstate, and some extra room is included to account for shrinkage.

@BorderWhippett

Do you happen to know if Self Edge SF is going to get any in? I'd like to try the sizing out in person.

RESTOCK

[Griffwald]

I've been wanting to nab a pair of these for a minute. All my 777's measure 36 in the waist. I'm wondering if a size 35 with the measure 34.4 waist would work and stretch enough for me. I have a thin midsection and given the rise on the 888's I'm thinking they will. Hoping for a second opinion to convince me.

I tried these on at Self Edge SF, figuring I might be 33 or 34 based on the measurements. The 33 could button but was pretty tight and not super pleasant, while the 34 was pretty comfortable right then and there. I'm inclined to go with the 34 but I've heard that this fabric has a ton of stretch–-will they necessarily stretch out a ton? Do I absolutely need to go with the smaller waist and suffer for a while to avoid them becoming so stretched that they don't stay up without a belt?

Go for 33. I wish I had.

@schraiber The waist will stretch out approximately one inch with wear…

So you went for the comfortable size and it stretched out enough that it wouldn't stay up or at least didn't feel good?

Yes I know. I'm asking for people's subjective experience: did they regret going with a size that was comfortable to start?

[Jett129]

I’ve never not gone with a comfortable start size in 11 years of buying IH. Never had to worry about slight shrinkage,or the occasional weight gain. Just my thoughts.

Yes. Literally with a 33/34 situation as well.

I don’t have a lot of experience with ih so take my advice with a grain of salt. But I am a non belt wearer like you. I assume Jett wears belts.

I think thighs are the most important thing to size for.
If your thighs are ok in 33 I’d go with them. Waist stretches up to 2 inches if you need it to. That’s what I’ve heard said by many people.

I’ve regretted not being comfortable in my IH from the get-go. Always end up selling off the smaller pairs, personally.

You are 100% right about the belts,as they are my favorite accessory!

+1 for the larger and more comfortable size
