A double entendre with my 888's and our local brewery!

I've actually never owned a pair of 888s — 666 has always seemed more of my jam, but I'm interested in these due to the 21oz fade-to-grey with tonal stitching.
How do these fit over engineer boots? Looks like 8.3 in a size 35, which I think would actually be the same as the 666s I usually wear, roughly. Are the 888s tapered though? Maybe not so much? Just lookin' for a bit of clarification…

The 888’s are tapered in a similar way to the 777. That is to say both cuts have a gradual taper all the way from thigh to hem. The 888 has a wider starting point however, therefore a bigger hem. They fit perfectly over engineers imho. Not too flappy, not to small.

Shut up and take my money!

Thanks, man!
Yeah even though those 666s are coming out, I'm torn… I've been curious about the 888 for a while. I've got some time either way, as the 888s in my size are out of stock. Will have a think!

Just got mine in yesterday. I'm going to try and wear these consistently for the next year!
-
Any timetable on a restock?
-
Going into production any minute, expect them in 2-3 months.

Sweet, thanks Giles.
Now, can I wait like a good boy, or do I go with the 21oz mad black or XHS…
-
What size is Graham wearing in this photo? They look fantastic!
These are a tag 33. I will grab actual measurements when I am with them tomorrow.
I find that I can wear a 33 or a 34 in the 666 cut and they both work well for me, one slim, one a bit looser.
-
Ahem… XHS is always the right answer. Should I get takeway tonight? XHS. Square root of 144? XHS. What would Jesus do? XHS.
Forget Kierkegaard or Descartes! You want real philosophy?!? Here it is [emoji41]

Hey guys, looking to pick up a pair of these next, love the fade to grey look.
My only (I know there will be more soon) pair of IH jeans are 21oz 666's in 32. The waist is starting to open up, though was darn near impossible to button the top button at first. Every where else fits nice, though snug. Looking at the 32 sizing on the 888's SBG, the waist looks pretty small, but the higher rise makes me think it may work. I know these don't stretch as quick and easily as indigo, and I don't mind a slightly looser waist, 33" measures 32.4 which looks ok. Any opinion on what may be the better sizing for me? Thanks in advance,.

Key measurements are really the thigh, rise, and perhaps knee. Look at the sizes at or around what you think is your size, and compare these. Waist of sbg will end up around the same with washing, now that it’s one-washed, and stretch about an inch.
It seems to me if you like the fit of 666 top-block at 32, you could def get the same size in 888, may even be able to size down. Or, if I’ve misunderstood, and your 666 is 33, then I say go for the 32. The top block on 888 is a totally different animal, with a lot more room.
