@Nkwkfld:

Great work @EdH
From what I have noticed of the true Iron Heart experts on this forum, having a few different sizes is the way to go. You're probably right to have the smaller and the larger and will likely get use out of both as time goes by and activities evolve.

Thanks @Nkwkfld - I'm hoping not to have to need the larger ones again. I'm determined not to develop the 'dad-bod'.

Looking awesome @EdH - I hope you'll be rocking these the next time you pay us a visit!

Phenomenal fit @EdH and congrats on your expensive accomplishment

I’ve been really lucky to have a stable waist size for 13 years now.
That doesn’t apply to my thighs though. Had to let loose of a few pairs already and can feel your pain.

Thighs going up or down?

I'm hoping my thighs start to shrink soon now that I've switched my training away from powerlifting (I peaked, and needed to switch to a training regimen which didn't require 90-minute workouts with the baby on the way). Tag-33 is about the limit in the thigh and top block for me right now.

If they ever wanted to do a "888-thick-boi" cut for the gentleman with the extra large thigh, I'd be interested…

No doubt! Especially if its in the Summer again, I love the ducks in the hotter months.

[schraiber]

I assume these guys are a way off from a restock but is there a sense of if the timeline is more like 6 months off or more like 12 months off?

[AdamC]

@schraiber it is hard to say at the moment, we do not have these in production as we have had to concentrate resources on other SKUs so somewhere between that 6-12 month timeline.  The duck in 666 and 777 are coming early in the new year

[schraiber]

Thanks that's perfect! Just trying to figure out how to budget for 2023 already 

[weftyarn]

@EdH There’s only one way, right? Up it is! I don’t even do leg days but 17 years of playing handball seemed to have a great effect on the muscle memory of my quads. The things literally start growing the moment I approach a staircase. Maybe I have that gene defect Robert Förstemann aka Quadzilla seems to have (IYKYK, otherwise Google )

Hopefully not to the point where I don’t fit in 888s anymore. I just love that cut so much.

Anyhow, enough with the talk. Here’s another fit pic paired with the 14Oz hoodie:

[EdH]

@weftyarn looking great brother. I need to wear mine more. Put a little weight back on again after the baby arrived, but not enough to where the 35s fit right, so the 33s are just that little bit too tight for regular wearing just yet.

[weftyarn]

Haha, so you arrived at my 34 now. I’ll let you know when my thigh growth continues and/or a baby comes in sight.
Might have a use for your 35 then.

[SonnyTheElder]

@EdH if you and @weftyarn don't need them and you're itching to get rid of the 35s, I'll happy take them off your hands!

[Mindfulbiscuit]

4 months in on the 888 ducks really like the cut high rise can’t to wash in 2 months

[weftyarn]

Looking good, @Mindfulbiscuit

Mine also haven’t seen the washer yet. IMO this fabric looks best when taking a beating

[Mindfulbiscuit]

Definitely really enjoying them and I find the Color is so versatile @weftyarn

[Fl4vM]

Yeah they are really cool and now became one of my favorite piece of non denim pants !

Repost from WAYWT 2 weeks ago during a trip in NY

[weftyarn]

Excellent fit on those @Fl4vM and great kit overall!

Great job with the selective color adjustment too!
B&W shots of NY just always seem to work…

[Fl4vM]

@weftyarn Thank you !
It's just Color Pop feature from Google Photos, simple but really convenient.

And the combo Duck pants + Indigo top always works 100% !

[Fl4vM]

Crosspost WAYWT, couldn't resist
Such a good combo.
