@Max:
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!

@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! -

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.

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

so waist is my only concern.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.

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?
-
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!

Thanks @sabergirl and @Appfaff The belt idea could help. I’ll reach out to the crew when I get home from our trip and see what we can work out.
I’ve always been a 34 except when sizing down one was warranted like with the 666II and my 777D and 777V&S. It seems like previously I’ve stretched my waists to a 35 but now I’m swimming in everything. The 33 with a 34 measured waist that won’t stretch in these seem like it should work but I could very well be a true 33 waist now and need the 32.
I’ll see what the crew can do with my belt measurements and any other info o can provide. Thanks.

Swear there should be a “tell me what to get out of X or Y” thread. Having limited funds but loving IH is bittersweet, you know whatever you buy will be golden, but can’t help from thinking about the stuff you had to pass on along the way…
Been eyeing these and the 555-SBG s for a while. Can only afford one. Which is more deserving of my cold hard cash? I can’t decide!!
-
@jerkules - I hear ya.. I benefitted from some "This or That" threads on lesser quality forums in previous decades for sure..
With that said, my vote would be for these. Rationale being that 1. There is no guarantee they will be rerun again, especially in this color. 2. Cargoes are usually a once a year thing anyways with IH, so they are already a coveted thing from the beginning. 3. The fit is just 100% damn perfect, and the fabric is wearable in most climates.
I love SBG, and would recommend grabbing some sooner than later, but if I had to choose (Which I theoretically do in my closet) I choose these over my SBG more often than not.
Post up pics when they arrive!

Not often used (possibly because most of us know we’ll be getting both), but feel free to phoenix it [emoji3526]

@neph93 - a hero and a scholar - cheers.
