IH-888S-21od - 21oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - OD'd
-
Really interested in these, but worried about the thigh.
Anyone have a size 32 and can measure thigh from crotch seam then straight outside using Blue Owl method?
-
You’ll get about .5” in the thigh. I can’t help you with the W32 but I have the IH-888-XHSib in 33 and these as well and they end up about the same with wear.
Do you have thigh measurement on ur 33?
Are you saying ill get half an inch in stretch?
-
The overdyed 21oz stretches a lot. I’d estimate up to half an inch (.5”). I can check my w33 For you but not for a few days.
Thanks mate, ill go true to size then

Funny story.
I wore these as well at the airport when we started our trip. I had my new ih belt on me and headed to the security. Packed everything into the box and went to the scanner. On the way it came to my mind that I forgot to put my belt into the box, wanted to turn around but then the security guy told me that I could leave it on. Went into the scanner, monitor shows a red area at the waist area. Sure thing, with this thick belt. So, I have to go to another security guy. I have to undress my belt. He looks at it. Wow. That's a thick belt. So he starts fingering the belt, looking for hidden stuff. Then he approaches me. Now I have to check your groin. Super I think. He starts squeezing my thighs and my crotch area and says, hey that's a thick jeans. That's a real cowboyjeans. I say it is, indeed. It's 21 oz and think, now stop groping me.
He says aha. But the fact that it is so thick makes the process of the feel checkup harder. Some seconds later he says: but I think everything is fine… What did I learn. Never leave your belt on. -
So many great airport security stories featuring Iron Heart. UHR is the worst by all accounts. Drives TSA x-ray machines crazy [emoji23]
I can vouch for this ::)

Oh man,
Ive done this twice. First I was wearing these exact jeans. Several areas lit up but most noticeably my cuffs. They really went in there to try to find something.
Next I made the mistake of wearing my 25oz 555-xhsib. Everything lit up red. They groped me for a good minute. Guy told me not to wear new jeans (they were a year old at that point).
Both times they were amazed at how heavy duty the denim was.
Now i dont wear em through security if I can help it.
