IH-888-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Indigo

@Giles your mantra about being succesful in retail fashion bussiness is a daily bread for all demand planners It is pretty easy to f**k things up with the size curves orders if you dont look into historical sales&stock data, but even this can be tricky if you dont combine it with actual trends. Great that you are on right tracks with planning!

[Giles]

Yeah, we've talked about it before but here we go again. We never actually knew what the demand for UHF's was, we always sold out so could not construct an accurate bell curve. Every year, we'd get a bit braver, but we'd still sell out - fast. So this year we decided to get our cojones out, order what we knew would be too many, and then we would have a decent idea of what demand really was. We ordered far too many and have lots left. We're not that worried because we think they will eventually sell, but the other dynamic at play is that having loads suppresses demand....

[Zee Boo]

Yes, it is the neverending story, constant change. As the other mantra says- Retail is detail.

@Giles I was thinking of commenting in the original thread about supply and demand and the UHF decision FW22, but since you used this example here I will add something I forgot to write there in the first place.
There should be no worry whatsoever about the shirts that are left. They are as awesome and well built as the others. All of them will go eventually and will forever be known as the famous drop of FW22 . Maybe some people will be finally able to save up and grab one.
And once more - It’s so good that IH is such a data driven company. As mentioned by @Zee-Boo there are so many variables at play here beyond supply and demand angle. The geopolitical situation hits everyone.

slightly tweaked, updated sizing chart found here. Main differences were slightly larger rises in Tag 40-44.

Hey guys,

Newer to the form but not to IH products. I am coming from a pair of 777 in 21 oz although I do love them the low rise wasn't my favourite. They were size W33.

I decided to pick up a new pair of 25 oz 888 and they just arrived. Wow I forgot the break in period for a new pair. That part is totally fine and I do enjoy the journey. I know the waist will stretch some but wanted to get everyones input if possible on the fit.

The waist is tight but I would not say uncomfortable. I can get the buttons on but it took a bit of work. Which might have more to do with the 25 oz?

Curious everyones thoughts as the waist right now is snug but not terrible. I am 6'2 185lbs +/-

Thanks for everyones input and time

First of all welcome to the forum my man! 25oz will need some breaking in but fit looks good imho. I would advise to soak this beast to get the most shrinkage out there are plenty of guides on the forum to do so. Also a tip: you can always upload questions and fit pictures in the exact thread for each and every product. The same tip was given me a few years ago with the text ‘so we keep it clean’ so no worries but maybe copy paste the text into the 888 XHS thread and delete this one enjoy the journey and enjoy your denim!

[aaronblitz]

Ok good call. I will post this in the actual product form and remove this one. Thanks though for your opinion on the fit.

[neph93]

Waist will shrink a little with a soak but stretch out with wear. So you should be fine. A soak will also help settle the denim down a bit, by which point you’ll be golden I reckon.

[Matt]

Can you pull them up at all? The 888 should sit higher than your 777 by quite a bit.
