IH-888D - 17oz Duck Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Brown

Yeah that looks right. The room at the back of the waist will relax as the fabric takes your body shape.

Lost 10kg since the summer. My old tag 35 were fitting like this, and were a roomy 36inches at the waist:
With the amount of fabric I could pinch at the waistband I thought I could just about go down to a tag 33. That just arrived:
A bit tighter all over, obviously, but with the small amount of stretch I can expect (the tag 35 started at an actual 35.6, so I got about a half inch out of those) and with the goal of losing another few kg (my goal is ~3kg away) I think these are a winner.

@EdH outstanding accomplishment and the fit is perfect!
It's going to be an effing expensive accomplishment if I have to replace all my IH…
I'm going to hold onto the tag-35 for now just in case. With a baby on the way in Feb, I'm waiting to see how that effects my lifestyle and weight before selling. I'm getting by on my denim for the time-being, as a wash tightens everything up again.

Great work @EdH
From what I have noticed of the true Iron Heart experts on this forum, having a few different sizes is the way to go. You're probably right to have the smaller and the larger and will likely get use out of both as time goes by and activities evolve. -

Thanks @Nkwkfld - I'm hoping not to have to need the larger ones again. I'm determined not to develop the 'dad-bod'.

That doesn’t apply to my thighs though. Had to let loose of a few pairs already and can feel your pain.
Thighs going up or down?
I'm hoping my thighs start to shrink soon now that I've switched my training away from powerlifting (I peaked, and needed to switch to a training regimen which didn't require 90-minute workouts with the baby on the way). Tag-33 is about the limit in the thigh and top block for me right now.
If they ever wanted to do a "888-thick-boi" cut for the gentleman with the extra large thigh, I'd be interested…
Take the dive...

I assume these guys are a way off from a restock but is there a sense of if the timeline is more like 6 months off or more like 12 months off?
-
@schraiber it is hard to say at the moment, we do not have these in production as we have had to concentrate resources on other SKUs so somewhere between that 6-12 month timeline. The duck in 666 and 777 are coming early in the new year
-
Thanks that's perfect! Just trying to figure out how to budget for 2023 already

@EdH There’s only one way, right? Up it is!
I don’t even do leg days but 17 years of playing handball seemed to have a great effect on the muscle memory of my quads. The things literally start growing the moment I approach a staircase. Maybe I have that gene defect Robert Förstemann aka Quadzilla seems to have (IYKYK, otherwise Google )Hopefully not to the point where I don’t fit in 888s anymore. I just love that cut so much.
Anyhow, enough with the talk. Here’s another fit pic paired with the 14Oz hoodie:
-
@weftyarn looking great brother. I need to wear mine more. Put a little weight back on again after the baby arrived, but not enough to where the 35s fit right, so the 33s are just that little bit too tight for regular wearing just yet.
-
-
4 months in on the 888 ducks really like the cut high rise can’t to wash in 2 months
-
Looking good, @Mindfulbiscuit
Mine also haven’t seen the washer yet. IMO this fabric looks best when taking a beating
