      The measurements you’ve posted don’t tell the full story of what makes a fit uncomfortable for you. Take the measurements of each dimension in the top block (for me, most important is waist, back rise, and thigh and compare the 21oz to a pair you want them to feel like. 21 oz will stretch at least an inch in the waist. I think 33 or 32 would be what you want, depending on thigh room needed.

      Def don’t size down to 31 again, sounds like that wasn’t comfy for you.

        thanks sabergirl!

        My 633S-18 are a super comfy jean.  Have measured once again:

        Waist - 32"
        Front - 10 ½"
        Back - 15 ¼"
        Thigh - 11"

        Based on these measurements, it's clear that the 888 is a much roomier fit so I'm not thinking a tag size 32" is probably the best?

          If you’re measuring the IH way, looks like you could do 32 no problem, and have a roomy comfy fit from the get-go. That would be my personal choice. However, considering the stretch in the 21oz, I expect there are some who would say you’re going to want the 31, especially if you’ll still have an inch of room to play with in the thigh. Bear in mind that the waist is also going to hit you a full inch higher on your body, where you’re probably skinnier. I know this isn’t being much of a help, but there ya go.

            I’m definitely not skinnier an inch up. That’s where my belly is.

                Here's my IH collection, apologies for the poor pics
                The 3 images in the top row are the 633S-18 in size 33 and the bottom 3 images are the 633S-142 in size 31.  The 6633S-142 are a very tight fit with very little room in the front rise.  Do you think the 888S-21 in size 32 will be too loose?

                  @pexel Here is my take on it with all the inter web warnings. I would go with 32, they will be 33s. Fit is personal but looks as if you need size in the thighs.
                  Thighs don’t stretch much or not at all.

                  If they fit generous you can always wash a bit warmer or do mild spin to shrink, but going in the other direction is difficult.

                  Others may know better….

                      With a natural 35.5" waist, I'm torn between size 35 and 36 in the 21 oz. 888S.  Suggestions appreciated.

                      In terms of fit preferences, I'm hoping they end up comfortable and slightly relaxed (but not sloppy or loose) as opposed to tight or trim.

                      Thanks,
                      John

                        IMO I would pay more attention to the rise and leg then, the waist will stretch for you with time.

                          Bought a pair at SESF today. Agonized over sizing, see my earlier post from when I first tried em on a couple weeks ago. After much consultation with the sales rep, went with the 33. If it stretches to fit like the 34 it'll be perfect.

                          Just waiting on the hem now. Expect some pics soon!

                            I am 35.5 as well.
                            Size 35 works well for me.

                              I was in Self Edge today.  They were out of the 888S 21oz. in size 36, but I tried on the same size in the 888S-14oz. – the fit was perfect.  While tempted, I'm still leaning toward the 21oz. (or even the heavier UHR).

                              For those familiar with both denims, would sizing be the same (i.e., 36) or should I size down to 35 in the 21oz. due to the likely stretch?

                                Overall the UHR is running ‘bigger’ but that’s more for the allowance for shrinkage. I have a 555 xhs and and a 555 uhr in the waist they are fairly the same but overall the 555 is ‘bigger’. So my advice would be to size for the waist in the UHR for the one that will fit you directly out of the bag cause it will stretch back to pre soak measurements in the waist.

                                  First fit with these bad boys. A bit snug in the waist for sure but looking forward to the stretch.

                                    Fear not! There will be stretch. Very sharp outfit.

                                      Looks good everywhere else.

                                      As for the waist, my tag-34s started at 33.6 inches, and they shrink back to that after a wash. When still new, they took a couple of days to fully stretch out to a comfy 35 inches. These days, they take a matter of hours to stretch back to that after a wash.

                                      I'm confident that you'll get any stretch you need based on my experience.

                                      Take the dive...
