Agreed; these look really good.

At long last

On the 888 would people recommend a more TTS inseam? I don’t cuff and generally like some stacks when it comes to jeans. I like sitting and crossing my legs without showing much sock, even with sneaks. I’m a true 32” inseam so I tend to go 33-34” in denim (also to account for a bit of shrink). I’m thinking that with the taper these might look better with less stacking, or 32.5-33”.
Any thoughts?
Also measurements look awesome, hitting refresh on this til I see the “live” button.

Any thoughts
Body shapes and preferences aside I found that this cut works best for me without any stacking both with sneakers and engineers. I have a 31” inseam on mine instead of the 32” I take on 666’s and 634’s and 33” on 555’s.
Edit: I’ll add that it is indeed the taper from the wider top block and thigh that necessitates the shorter inseam. The stacks on my IH-888-UHR ruined the silhouette initially and I had them shortened again at FnC.

@neph93 thanks much. I’ll go 32.5. I took a 34 in my 1955s but would have been happy with a 33.5.

Summer jeans inbound. Thanks gents!

Finally some summer jeans. My legs and other nether regions will no longer suffer.

This denim actually breathes well?

These came this morning, and I had to wait ALL DAY with the knowledge that they were just sitting at my house.
I am soooooo happy with these! The 888 is my cut, for sure. They're not restrictive but there's no extra material where I don't want it. It's going to take a phenomenal effort not to snag every iteration (the blue/blacks are a certainty). It's also going to feel strange to go back to my 1955s.
Definitely an entirely different denim than the flagship 21oz. They actually remind me a bit of my zimbabwe momotaros. They're crunchy and rough to the touch, but less hairy than the zimbabwes.
I'll try and get some fit pics up tomorrow.
