IH-888S-142bb - 14oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High-Rise Tapered Jeans - Black/Black

[Jordonf9]

This denim a tight weave? Lots or just a little give/stretch to it? Thanks

[Giles]

It's a fairly tight weave.  Get the usual 1" or so stretch in the waist…

@jothishan:

Is this a kind of relaxed fit?

It is a very flexible fit. It is relaxed in the top block and thigh but has a modern taper. It can also be sized down so that guys with big butt and thighs can achieve a slim tapered fit.

Can't believe these ain't selling better. Too bad they ain't 21oz though. 21 fade to grey ever coming back?

[Giles]

Possibly….

If anyone else has fit pics of these I'd really love to see them.  I'm interested in these but not  sure the fit is gonna work for me.

I’d say that if you size them right they can work for everybody. The high waist and inevitable stretch means you can go old skool and size down one or even two from your regular for a relaxed slim fit, or go TTS for a a relaxed tapered fit. Sizing down also minimises the rise which some folks aren’t used to.

definitely can't do a different size judging by the measurements.  that's why I want to see a few more pictures.

[neph93]

No pressure, but the high rise means I can do a starting waist  one inch under what I normally need in 666, 634, 777 etc. I think the roomy top block that tapers in towards the waistband helps.

I appreciate the difficulty you have of course. New cut etc. The only other advice I can give is to study the other 888 threads that are better populated.

There are other places this is covered too. I have experience as I’ve gone tts twice on the 888 and had to flip them and size down.

Love my pair, going to send them out to get tapered and hemmed. Can't wait

I sent them to Rain, should have gotten them Saturday. So hopefully 2-3 weeks will have them. Along with my 21oz being tapered. These will probably be one my best fitting denim. Can't wait as it's my first pair of black to grey

[belopsky]

I picked up a pair of these are corlection a few days ago. Only my second pair of IH ever (had a pair of the triple works years ago)

Fit pics in a day or two, maybe.

[awalden]

Can anyone comment on the tightness of the weave of these (and IH's 14oz denim in general)? How does it compare to the 21oz SBGs?

[Giles]

Tighter…..

[neph93]

I feel like I need to pick up a pair of 142 denim in one iteration or another… it is the only denim currently available that I an totally unqualified to speak on.

RESTOCK

Just tried these on today, and they look and feel great. Hard time figuring out my 888 size. In 31, they were kinda ‘painted’ on the top block (not uncomfortable though), but kinda looked like a jeans worn by Beegees. In 32 they look cool, but I fear they’ll become saggy once I’ve stretched them.
So I’m asking if the top block will loosen up with wear so it doesn’t look as much like a 70’s jeans? @neph93 I believe you’re well traversed with this fit?
