No worries! I thought it looked uncharacteristic of the cut. Good to know

So tempting….have to try my 14oz OD back on and see how tight they are...

Thanks @AdamC  unfortunately the rise is longer now…still great measurements

[neph93]

That makes more sense. Looked suspiciously like 555 measurements before [emoji1] Of course this now means they would fit me nicely after all… [emoji849]

Will these stretch about 1 inch in waist?

yes

Only 1 tag 34 left… the waist is a bit small but the rest of the measurements are nearly spot on. If this had the same measurements as the 888s-142 then it would be perfect. Or size up to a 36 and find the smallest front/rear rise? Or wait to see if the next batch has better measurements? Decisions...

You’ll get the stretch you need, I’m sure. I think what you loose from OD’ing comes back very quickly.

Still thinking about these. If only the rise was lower, 11.5 and 15 " in 36 would be perfect for me. But the rest is ace. And i think the 14 oz denim looks best out of all overdyed options.

Time for a new overdyed pair!
Il love this cut and I wonna try the new 142 denim. My chance to kill two birds with one stone…  ::)
I already own a pair of 888s (currently my favorites) W29.
I sized up one, with these.

[georgeel]

And I need a black pair too! 3 birds with 1 stone!

I was very tempted to order the IH-555S-142OD Overdyed from the outlet, but as I got older I became more and more conservative.

PS= maybe a little problem with the page: when I press the "modify" button it shows the "sorry" page, the one with your pants down…

Well I did pick up a pair and love this lighter weight OD! My well-worn 634S-B have stiff competition now.

I'm exactly in your same situation: 634S-B and now 888s-142od.
Flagship 21oz IH denim is one of the best in the world (if not THE BEST), and I can't wait to make the comparison with the new 14oz, made with the same procedures.

[Manticore]

While I still love these, I think I probably could have gone a size down as originally planned but I got spooked by the measurements. Still extremely comfy though and I can easily eat my way into having these fit snugger…

[georgeel]

Here they are!

First of all, you can keep your old "We don't do light" motto: They are heavy enough to be 14oz!
Second, now I put them on and I don't take them off until Christmas!

[neph93]

Fekkin brilliant @georgeel 

[Jordonf9]

Looks like a perfect fit

[TexasSailor]

Hi all! I just picked up my pair of IH-888-142od at Mildblend in Chicago last weekend. They are my first pair of Iron hearts and I look forward to breaking these in and being part of this awesome community! Pics to follow shortly!!

@Jordonf9

Thank you!
I'm wearing them every day and I'm really enjoying the cut. I wait patiently for the fabric to reveal entirely  its qualities. I expect a lot from this "light" version of the world's best selvedge denim!
