      My photos just before Josh James are not sized down.

      I also have the newer restock version and ordered a size down but only because I trusted the measurements. I asked for a larger waist in the next size down. I wanted the same fit as these and pretty much got it except the new pair is slightly more snug.

      Turned out good. I wear the more relaxed pair to work in.

          Just got mine and am so in love with this one. It's at once relaxed and slim; the cut is magic. Here it is with my favorite 246 NIN.

          And I have to thank Graham for being so patient with me. The crew is awesome. Strange that I'd rather be shopping with the site than going to a physical store. Thanks again and looking forward to my next purchase.

                @vaquero357 I tried to get this newer version(38) to fit the same as my original version(size 40). To do so I trusted the new measurements in the waist and ordered a 38 and asked for a slightly bigger waist to match my size 40. I'm happy with the results but the newer pair are slightly more fitted all the way down. I like them both and wear the more relaxed(40) to work in.

                The inseams on both pairs have been hemmed by IHUK at 33" like I do most all my pant to leave room for a bug cuff.

                  Hi Guys,

                  Quick question about hemming. For these, do I need to get them chain-stitched? Or is regular hemming ok?

                    I'm tempted but literally would need a size 35 as the 36 got pretty wide in the waist and 34 is too small.

                    There is no stretch on these. Really none. So the 36 would be the way to go. I wish I had done that first time round.

                    Hi Reuben, I got a 34 size with a 35.5" waist, I would need them to stretch close to 36.0". You don't think that is going to happen?
                    Thanks.

                      I believe you could get half an inch of stretch, but I wouldn’t expect much more!

                        You can do both in theory, but I would go for a flat hem.

                          @rodalbird i agree with Adam. Are they on their way to you? The 888 rise sits high as well, I mention it in case you aren’t used to it.

                            @neph93 I have them with me (after an epic struggle Graham and I had to put up with DHL customs dept.). They fit great but for a mild discomfort on the waist when I am sitting down.
                            Thanks!

                              I had a more than mild discomfort in mine, as well as a muffin top belly. I worked with them and experienced a little stretch, but never enough for them to be a long term thing.

                              Your 35.5 inchers would be perfect for me. I’m tempted to have another go now the waist has gotten bigger, but I’ve also got my eyes on other things.

                                I grabbed a pair and absolutely love them made more than one should love a pair of pants. I typically wear a tag size 34 but had to exchange for a size 36.

                                  Really thinking about adding these to my non-denim lineup. Those fit pics look straight flattering!!

                                  Coming from the 21OZ 888s,
                                  anyone here who has both pairs and can suggest how to size the waist?
                                  Does the Cargo sit higher/lower than the 21OZ, requiring a different waist?

                                  I love the slightly tighter thigh/knee/hem,
                                  so waist is my only concern.

                                  Thanks in advance  🙂

                                  Use it or lose it.

                                    The top block sits a little trimmer than with denim versions, not so much because of the cut, but because of the fabric. Also, you may consider measuring your work IH-888S-21 and ordering the a pair of these that matches worn/stretched out measurements. The whipcord does not stretch.

                                      Thanks for your help @neph93

                                      I’m sure now that the 34 would fit perfectly.
                                      Can’t really justify another purchase atm though…  😞
                                      but with 8 pairs in stock there will be some time for my mid to change  😅

                                      Use it or lose it.

                                        I’m just now discovering these for myself and I have to have them.  I’m in a bad spot size wise.  I haven’t bought pants for over a year and in that year I’ve lost about twenty lbs from eliminating junk food from my diet and staying active (who knew!?!). Now I can’t use any of my pants to negotiate the sizing chart.  I’m not sure what to do for these.  Any thoughts?

                                          Absolutely no stretch in the whipcord. Have you been using a belt? You could judge the waist by measuring that.

                                            Yes, zero stretch and a little shrink after the first few washes. Err on the size of “could be too big” and they will probably look ace

                                            My OG 38s are SNUGGG while I’m an easy 36 in 888s and 777s. The new version has a larger waist, but know the hips and thighs won’t stretch like jeans, so look at those too!
