    Here we go… somewhat relaxed fit compared to my other pairs of 888, which is just what I was looking for.

        Couldn’t fit better 👌🏼

              Says the guy who kills it in 555's… I can't even wear 555's (although I did try very hard for a while), so I'm the jealous one  😉

                  @neph93 looks still very fitted on you. Great fit!

                  I wear my 888 a way more relaxed, which I’m happy with  😉

                  The 888xhs is my next purchase for sure

                    That is the great thing about this cut… very versatile, very flexible. My W33's 888-XHSib fit me the same way 555's fit @Sam, for example. The waist is trim but not uncomfortable unless I put on weight. These fit perfectly at the waist. Comfortable without being loose. But I could size up, wear with a built and go very relaxed.

                    I feel like the 888 cut and the XHS denim are a good match. The weight of the denim and the nature of the fit work well together.

                    Thanks for your appreciation! Yours too @Paul9221

                          …wow! Four pages back on the 'bottoms' forum site! Must be the 'grandpa cut'! :D...hence...

                          ...picking up another cut, the 888-XHS! That'll be my 3rd pair of Iron Hearts, 634XHS, 555XHS and now the 888XHS's.

                          ...just may retire all other jeans in my closet. This should take me down the road quite a ways in the jeans dept.

                          ...I'll be adding to the 'People's Report Card' on these in the near future. Ciao for now. 😉

                            I prefer the term "massive thighs cut" 😃  Welcome to the club!  As someone who started with the 634, I think that you'll like these.

                              ...I guess these will be the 'Goldilocks' pair! Right in the middle of the two I own. 😎

                                …so the only thing I thought I needed now was a horse and a riding crop. The sides, above the thigh really ( top block? ), just billowed out and to say I was bummed out would be correct. Didn't make sense according to the measurements.

                                ...decided to try and get my co-worker addicted to crack I mean Iron Heart and I was going to gift these to him just so he would see what I'm up against, well they didn't fit him at all and neither did they fit my two sons.

                                ...I decided to just bomb them into the washer normal warm wash and threw them into the dryer like an Iron Heart sinner!! :o

                                ...they came out perfect and I can't believe how fortunate I am to not have given them away! I think they have upstaged my XHS-555's and my XHS-634's. Though, I love them all. 😘

                                …really comfortable cut! Crazy how things sometimes work out. 😉

                                  I honestly didn't think that the top block looked bad in the first pic, but agree that it looks better in the second. Super happy to hear that you like them!

                                    …someone on the forum mentioned the term 'diaper butt' and I had a chuckle because that's kind of what they felt like but all is well now!

                                    Thanks Paul9221!

                                      Haha, lots of fits start with a little bit of diaper butt but once you wear them for a bit, it settles.

                                      Glad you're digging the 888!

                                        …didn't take measurements but you can see the difference in the top block, thigh and the cuff.

                                        ...pretty pronounced. :o

                                          Like you I have a similar journey with my pair. Made the rookie mistake of hemming a pair before trying, and the top block was a little baggy, so gave them a hot wash and now they seem great to me. Since they've seen hot water and agitation I'll look forward to vintage fades on these. After the wash and before these were no problem to button, and the denim feels super strong but not uncomfortable to wear. Pretty good already and I am sure as they flex and stretch and give to body shape they'll just get better. Happy to report that the hemming and sizing, after a wash, have turned out to work.

                                          Here's the photo journey.
