IH-888S-142bb - 14oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High-Rise Tapered Jeans - Black/Black

[neph93]

No pressure, but the high rise means I can do a starting waist  one inch under what I normally need in 666, 634, 777 etc. I think the roomy top block that tapers in towards the waistband helps.

I appreciate the difficulty you have of course. New cut etc. The only other advice I can give is to study the other 888 threads that are better populated.

@riffblaster:

definitely can't do a different size judging by the measurements.  that's why I want to see a few more pictures.

Some relevant chat on the subject here:

There are other places this is covered too. I have experience as I’ve gone tts twice on the 888 and had to flip them and size down.

Love my pair, going to send them out to get tapered and hemmed. Can't wait

I sent them to Rain, should have gotten them Saturday. So hopefully 2-3 weeks will have them. Along with my 21oz being tapered. These will probably be one my best fitting denim. Can't wait as it's my first pair of black to grey

I picked up a pair of these are corlection a few days ago. Only my second pair of IH ever (had a pair of the triple works years ago)

Fit pics in a day or two, maybe.

Can anyone comment on the tightness of the weave of these (and IH's 14oz denim in general)? How does it compare to the 21oz SBGs?

[Giles]

Tighter…..

[neph93]

I feel like I need to pick up a pair of 142 denim in one iteration or another… it is the only denim currently available that I an totally unqualified to speak on.

RESTOCK

Just tried these on today, and they look and feel great. Hard time figuring out my 888 size. In 31, they were kinda ‘painted’ on the top block (not uncomfortable though), but kinda looked like a jeans worn by Beegees. In 32 they look cool, but I fear they’ll become saggy once I’ve stretched them.
So I’m asking if the top block will loosen up with wear so it doesn’t look as much like a 70’s jeans? @neph93 I believe you’re well traversed with this fit? 

[LewisStonehouse]

@Tuefar I'd say start with a snug top block and they should stretch out a bit. Another thing you could do is contact IHUK and see if they have a slightly oversized 31 that sits between the two sizes. Hope that helps 

[Tuefar]

Thanks a lot, @LewisStonehouse!

If the waist is comfy I would stick with the smaller pair. It will relax some.

That being said, the 888 is very flexible. I have sized down and tts pairs and a more relaxed top block works well. The 14oz is not as flexible as 21oz so you should be fine.

Pics would help.

The most comfortable pair of jeans I own

Another perfect pair of 888 14oz! Love this denim. Got them during the sale. Now I just need the regular 888-142s to complete my 14oz trio
