    @popvulture:

    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?

    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.

    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!

          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…

                Ahem… XHS is always the right answer. Should I get takeway tonight? XHS. Square root  of 144? XHS. What would Jesus do? XHS.

                  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.

                          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.

                              Thanks @sabergirl I do have the 32 in the 666. The only place on the jeans that are a bit tighter than what I'd like is in fact the top block. The waist is already opening up, thighs are tight, but good and knee down is perfect.

                                I think 32 would be the right call. Although you’ll fit fine into the rest of a 31, the waist might not be comfortable. That said, you can get the inch and change of stretch out of the sbg in 31, just might take a while and not be too fun.

                                  @sabergirl is on the money here @Spencer35 The 666 top block is much more trim than the 888.

                                  You’re also correct about the way the rise works. I can start 888’s at about 33” but need to start 666’s closer to 35”.

                                  It’s like the song says,  “I gotta small waist, pretty face and a big bank…”. Except my face is sort of ugly and my waist isn’t that small. I also need to stop using Tiktok [emoji23]

                                    @neph93  😃

                                    I leave the Tik Tok to my kids, how they know nearly every dance on that thing dumbfounds me!

                                    888 TTS sounds about right. Of course now I've also gone down the 555 rabbit hole. Too many great IH cuts, too hard too pick!

                                      I actually don't use it but I teach high school and my students keep me up to date. Glad I'm not 16 anymore  ::)

                                      TTS or size does is the way to go with 888. You'll probably find TTS relaxed but flattering.
