      While wearing these and Wesco chukka, I just went through multiple additional security checks from TSA in the Atlanta airport, culminating in a very thorough full body rub down. Agent said I think it’s because your jeans are so thick. I wasn’t in a hurry so I just smiled under my mask and thought “bet the forum will get a kick out of this.”

          The UHR is legendary for that. XHS works too. I’ve also seen what Wesco’s do to the scanning machines. They light up like Times Square [emoji38]

                Hello, while waiting for the 555 version to restock I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I’m in love with high rise cuts after buying a pair of Oni Secret denim in the 926 cut size 29.  Waist on the Oni’s are 29.5 and thighs are 11.4.  I feel with more wear the waist will stretch out to at least 30 as the denim feels like it has a lot of give in it.

                I want to size down to a 29 for the IH 888 Bc I feel like the measured 30s in stock will eventually stretch out too much and I’m trying to keep the thigh and knee as tight as possible if my waist can handle it.  You guys think post initial wash that I can get the 28.9 to 30? Or should I buy the 30s and  try to shrink it as much possible so post wash and stretch they won’t go over 31?

                Thanks

                  I haven't had much luck trying to shrink XHS. They shrink temporarily but will always stretch back out and then some. But it is possible to stretch the waist on a pair of IH at least two inches. I'd go with the smaller size @Tightisright

                    Rule of thumb with XHS is that post shrink/stretch they’ll end up at the start again, or slightly larger.

                        Thanks for the sizing insights!  After too much analysis paralysis I decided to just order the size 30.  I can’t wait to receive them!

                              There was no remake planned in October and no announcements that they are on order, so no time soon I’m afraid.

                                      I was foolish enough to let the mrs witness day 1 of breaking these in/button up, post soak. Going on day 3, crazy how quickly these go from plywood stiff to conforming to the body.  LOVE the XHS.  As always, IH crew was phenomenal in setting aside the largest waist measurement in my tag size, flawless hemming and great UK to US turn around time.

                                          Well, my pair arrived and unfortunately they really aren’t a great fit. The waist is way too big, I can basically fit a fist in the gap. I also get fabric clumping/diaper butt. This really surprised me, I had been back and forth with the folks in the UK and the measurements looked good. These are a size 36, I feel like I’m probably two sizes down from these to get a proper fit.

                                          Any thoughts? I wear Naked and Famous Weird Guys in a size 34, this works out to a measured 36 waist. The problem I have is in the Weird Guys I have restricted movement and keep blowing out crotches. They always feel tight in the crotch and thighs. I figured the 888’s were the answer.

                                          What should I do? I don’t think a single size down is the answer. Do I size down to a 34 or look at a different model altogether? I really wanted these to work, don’t want to keep returning things either.

                                          Thanks!

                                            @nrtphotos They are huge…and sizing down is an answer.  My best advise is to take your favourite jeans and measure the key areas the IH way.  Take those measurements and compare them to IH jeans to find a comparable match.

                                            The link below is how IH measures jeans.

                                            I really don’t think you’ll be happy with those jeans.  Good luck in your search!
