IH-888-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo
-
My 888S-SBG are the best fitting pair of jeans I’ve ever owned. This is where they sit:
I physically can’t pull them off without unbuttoning them. In contrast, I also have a pair of 888-SLB which are probably one size too large - the denim loosened around the waist more than I anticipated. The effect leads to the back pocket slightly bulging out as they sit lower on my hips. A belt fixes it, and since I’m not a perfectionist when it comes to sizing I’m more than happy to have a relaxed pair. However, if I spend $400+ on jeans, I want to feel good when I wear them. Since you’re questioning your pair, you clearly don’t feel that way.
To echo what everyone else says, if you want to stick with 888s I’d say you need to size down at least one tag size. If you wouldn’t be able to button them, you probably need a cut with a lower rise. The 633s looked good. I imagine a well fitted pair of 634s will look good too. Hope it works out for you

What about the 1955? That cut seems pretty similar to 888.
Almost identical, the main difference is the Lot Number….

Hi all ! I'm new to the forum, my name is Martin, 42 years old, I'm a baker in France.
Yesterday I received my first IH jeans, an 888 25oz, what a monster!
I am 1.73m ( 5'8 ) tall and I weigh 72kg (159lbs), after a long hesitation I chose a size 31. I manage to close the button quite easily but I find the waist tight. On the other hand, I am comfortable in the butt and thighs.
What do you think, should I change it to a size 32?

@tinmar welcome to the forum mate, nice place to start with the 25oz!
They look good to me, I personally would not recommend sizing up. Don't be alarmed when you wash/soak them, they will tighten up but they will stretch back out and once you've worn them in, become the comfiest jeans you own!

@tinmar If you've managed to get into the jeans, tackled the buttons and they are tight in the waist then you've made it as the denim will relax a bit over time. Enjoy and welcome to the forum

You have a nice fit there. I wouldn't change a thing!

At the end of the day regardless of how good we all think the jeans fit you,and how good we think they look on you,if you’re not comfortable your not going to wear them. May be there’s another pair of 31s with a slightly bigger waist that you’d be more comfortable with. Just a thought.

Anyone put these in a dryer? How does that work out?
I’m tempted because these things take long to dry and I don’t know where to hang them.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Giving my 634s-a a break and back to wearing these. They don’t fit that bad as long as I’m wearing a belt.
The knees are super faded for some reason. I’m guessing dragging them on carpet whoops..

Question for the 25 oz wearers. I have a pair of 888S-21 that fit perfect, but if the temperature dips below 40 degrees fahrenheit they aren't warm enough. I am thinking of getting a pair of 888S in 25oz for the colder temperatures in Tennessee. Is there a material difference in warmth between the 21oz and 25oz that would merit buying a new pair just for winter?
