      I'm glad that could help!  Now I hem to 30.5" if it won't shrink or 31" if I think I'll get some shrinkage.

      Blanket-line all the things!!!

            Got these mid-March. They’re very much ready for their first wash now. Have seen a lot of playground duty, some garden work and quite a few bike trips at this point. So taken with these that I picked up a pair of 888s during the sale.

              Looking very nice. It’s a great cut.

                      Had to put my loyalty credits to use and boy am I glad I did on these. The fit is absolutely spot on. Thanks to Ben for dialing it in post order.

                      @duece those look great! Really nice for. I had a couple questions I was hoping you might be able to give some insight into. That mid/high rise top block…how do you like it? I’m used to a low rise Jean I think but have been leaning more towards a less skateboarder cut and more towards something like this. I’ve got some Wesco Morrisons coming and think this 888 would be a nice leg opening. Could you share your opinion on how that rise feels comfort wise ? Super appreciate it.

                        I'm about to pick up my first pair of OD.  I'm understanding there will be stretch but no shrinkage.  The sizing for me (size 38) will fit perfect.    I'm curious on hemming and whether to take into account the stretching.  I'll likely go with my normal inseam, but wanted to make sure I'm accounting for stretch/shrink properly with these.

                        I'm also going back/forth on whether I go 21oz or 14oz in these….

                          I have the 21OZ  OD in the 555 cut and went with a half inch more than my normal length,just in case,and I don’t mind a little stacking. I wash them and have no problem throwing them in the drier/Shrinkmaster 9000 after.

                            @Deuce @neph93 Hey fellas!! Merry Holidays to everyone!! Wanted to reach out to the well informed on this thread and get some feedback if possible. Just got a pair of the 888s in the OD. First IH jeans. Have a couple shirts. @Deuce you mentioned in an earlier part of this thread wanting a slimmer thigh and the IH crew finding the right waist to match the silhouette you were after. I'm kind of in the exact same boat. I plan to hem my pants, but want to make sure i've got the fit just right first. I'm attaching some pics (don't mind the post Christmas washed out look on my face haha)

                            @neph93 I linked you in because, well, duh!! You are the Jedi around here and have been a huge help to me in my personal denim evolution. Thanks in advance ya'll. Hope you're having a wonderful holiday season!!

                              Hey there! I too just got a pair of the 888s in OD 21oz. So stoked! I'm curious about the hemming questions too. I've never had pants with this level of high rise. I'm wondering if the high rise will make the pants a bit longer in the leg as they settle a bit lower on the hips throughout the day. More room for a bit of sagging if you will as compared to a low rise pant.

                                I think your fit looks good and the leg will look more settled with a cuff or proper hem. As for the pants falling throughout the day, I find that with a belt it isnt much of a problem. I’m not saying I never have to adjust, but I wouldnt base my hemming decision on it. Since everyone’s jeans fit and wear differently I would pop a cuff at the point of where you would hem and see how it goes. I think 888 looks great cuffed, you might like it [emoji41]

                                  @Mizmazzle That looks like a great 888 fit to me. Keepers for sure. As for hemming, I don't think stretch in the rise will make any difference. All my 888's have been at the same length as my other pants.

                                    @Anesthetist @neph93 Thanks gents!! These are all the little bits of advice I was looking for. Really looking forward to watching these things evolve and get all buttery. I sure do look forward to getting dressed these days!!

                                      If I may, the 21oz OD denim stretches quite a bit in my experience and doesn’t shrink at all. I should have went with a size smaller on mine and would still be fine on the waist but nothing s belt couldn’t handle.

                                        Happy New Year boys! Thanks for all the solid feedback. I really can’t convey how much I appreciate all the amazing guidance and camaraderie. I ultimately did size down from a 34 to a 33 and am stoked with the result. It’s much cleaner and trim looking just the way I love my jeans.

                                        Now I’m wondering about hemming. My other favorite jeans hang just like I like them once broken in at 32” I’m wondering if the length is going to stretch out much and how to best choose a length when sending these babies in for a hem job. Thanks In advance. Im dying to start breaking these in!!

                                            Thanks! I’m really happy with the fit now. The others felt like they would be too baggy once they stretched. I think you were spot on with your advice. I’m curious about length? Did you notice a lot of stretch in the inseam as well?
