Right IH's Cut for short man?

555 would work if you’re bigger in the waist. 666 is straight legged and slim but with a smaller, more fitted top block.
Based on the info you give you’ll probably get on well with any cut if you size the waist correctly, so it comes down to a matter of taste.
oh so with the 666s i would feel blocked on the upper part. What i am concerned is the size to order considering stretch. I see in any 14oz description that they will stretch 1 inch with wear. However any 33 size have already 84-86 cm waist which is my actual measurement so i have fear they will become too large too look good even with a belt. Do you suggest me true to size or 1 size down an some pain with initial wears?

It’s impossible for me to know how the 666 top block will fit you, but it has a smaller top block than the 888 and 555 for sure.
All denim stretches, whichever brand, sanforised or not. It’s what twill weaves cotton does. Buying about 1” smaller than a used pair that fits you well is definitely a good idea with sanforised (non-shrinking) denim. Give it a weeks wear and the waist will have stretched to fit.

Yes that's the point
And i general from what i am seeing i also think that IH jeans fits larger than the jeans brands i own at the moment

Some brands, especially high street brands tend towards vanity sizing (eg. A tagged 34 actually measures 36”). IH don’t do that, but instead provide detailed measurements so customers can do as you have and compare published measurements with a measured pair that fits you well.

yeah i just learned this, i am new to this high quality denim world and i just also realized i spent too much money on useless signatures rather than quality!
Think i'll go with a size 32 14oz 666s cut… 81.8 cm waist will be a pain at the start but if it stretches 1 inch then it will become 84 cm which is my true waist size 33 on my actual used jeans. 555s cut is nice too but i also have thick/large calves and i think they would look too much tight!

Let us know how it goes. A word to the wise, if you have someone who can hem them locally then do that. In that case, you can exchange them if they don’t work out.
really? I thought that once hemmed you can't return them to IH. What i thought is this: i order them and try them, if they are too long i return them back to IH just for right hemming and shipping back.

Something got lost in translation. My point was buy them as they are and have them hemmed if you like them. Whether it is at IHUK or somewhere local is up to you.
Yes i got you, i misunderstood your message at first
I think i have found the best deal for me: IH-633 cut sold at Self Edge. It is the 634 cut but with shorter leg openings. So comfy but not roomy/baggy in the upper part, slimmer in the lower part, just as i like
thanks for all the hints and looking forward to post some pics and reviews when it's time!

This is also what the 888 cut does. You might want to compare leg measurements.
Glad to help and good luck.
yes infact 888 cut was my main interest in IH world at first glance. It is a bit larger compared to this 633 cut, it kinda resemble a more relaxed fit overall. And there is no new 14oz version of it at the moment, only 14.7oz recycled one. 633 seems more my usual choice, i'd stick with them.
