      …thanks @ROman! Just 'funnin' with ya! 😉

      …didn't do the full meal deal with measuring this time but I have the two measurements that are usually the most important for me.

      waist 36.9 / 36.4
      inseam 34.5 / 33.5

      ...888's definitely the 'comfy cut'! 😎

        So my plunge down the rabbit hole continues. Having moved in circa 18 months from ok I will buy that one flannel to 15 odd shirts / jackets, from I’ll never buy their trousers/  jeans to chinos then 21 oz it now seems I can happily go further still - looking forward to my inbound pair!

          My first purchase through you directly (previous IH purchases made from stockists due to me being too late to the party) I ordered the same size as my other 2 888s.  I was in such a rush to get in an order that I made the cardinal sin and did not double check the size chart.  This was a BIG overlook on my part considering the hem. Shout out to Ross and Graham for allowing me to switch the tag size after placing my order. Seriously. Thank you guys.  Couldn’t be happier w the fit.

            Awesome 888 fit @Bren And with all due respect, if you think changing tag size after ordering is good customer service wait and see what they do when it really goes wrong.

                …@Paul9221 years back I was looking at an African Gray parrot, then learned I would probably be leaving it in my will! 😃 😃  100 year lifespan! ???

                LOL, sorry man, I didn't see this until TODAY!  The tag didn't notify me.

                Those African Grays are CRAZY smart!  And yeah, our bird is slated to live like 25 years.  I really didn't think this one through 😃

                Blanket-line all the things!!!

                  [mention]Bren [/mention] that's a stellar fit!  Is this your first 25oz?  You mentioned other pairs of 888…

                        Thanks @Paul9221! I own a 777 25oz, where if I’m being honest pry will not get much love now with these in rotation… I prefer the tighter taper of the 777 but not at the expense of the ass crack show that is me when I sit in the 777.  I own the 888 21oz standard indigo and the 888 21oz OD, both of which are flawless.  No more experimenting w different cuts for me

                            It is almost time to retire my straight tapered 633s, and I think I'll go with the 888 next. How do the legs compare to the 633? More or less room? Can't find the 633 on the website so can't compare measurements…

                                633 is a Self Edge exclusive cut which is why you can’t find them here.

                                The 633 is basically the 634, but it tapers from the knee down. The top block and thighs are the same.

                                The 888 has a higher rise and a little more room in the top block. The thighs are about as roomy as the 633 but the taper starts soon after that and continues gently through the knee and down to the hem.

                                  Thanks! That sounds great…. now to decide between 21oz or 25oz....

                                      Potentially dumb question: would the reported shrinkage of ~1” inseam be expected with a cold soak, or might the shrinkage be less/mitigated?

                                      Found a pair that are already hemmed. The current length is pretty much my minimum, couldn’t go any lower. If I could get away with cold soaks only to avoid losing the length, it might be worth the purchase. Cheers.

                                        I've hot-soaked, hot-low-agitation-washed two pairs of these and never got more than 0.25" of shrink on inseam.  Granted, they were already hemmed by IHUK, so they were like 32.5" before soaking.  I assume that I would've seen more shrink had they been the default ~36" length.

                                        YMMV, but I would say that a cold soak is probably fine in that you won't get a ton of inseam shrink.  I think the greater concern is shrink while washing, which you will probably have to do eventually.  If you're okay with committing to a lifetime of cold low-agitation washes with these, you probably won't see much shrink there either.  And, if you look at what I wrote above, you may not even get much shrink with a hot wash, either.

                                        Just make sure you line-dry, not machine-dry, for lots of reasons 🙂

                                          That’s enormously helpful, thanks a bunch @Paul9221

                                          I’ve never had a pair of jeans hemmed, I just cuff and roll. Hence my trepidation. I’ve measured the inseam of my current pairs to the point at which I tend to cuff my jeans to, which is 30”. The pair I’m eyeing are hemmed to 31” so on paper I’d be fine with a small cuff. Wouldn’t wanna lose that extra inch, so I’d have to be very careful…
