250 wear days evolution. Washed maybe 7 or 8 times. Just worn for office work, walking the dog, etc, nothing crazy.

Great documentation @EdH

And it’s crazy to see how there’s a point where the fading kind of magically accelerates at around 150/200 wear days.

@weftyarn I think ~200 days was also their last wash, before I sent them to @JoshC last time for a crotch blow-out repair, so that’s probably why the thighs suddenly start to pop around that mark.

Not filming mine, but after a month’s wear, these are seriously showing some electric blue. Especially at the front and on the seat.

A week or so past the 5 month mark, just got their first machine wash/hang dry.

Hello IH crew,

when can we expect the next delivery to fill the missing sizes in the stock?

Cheers

@peng We have received the 777S-21 today, so hopefully we will get the 888S-21 within the next 6-8 weeks hopefully , but keep an eye on this forum thread because once the 888S-21 are here, we will announce a date for the restock on here.

[peng]

Oh wow, that's faster than I've expected. Great news, thanks @JoshC

[weftyarn]

Back in these as temps have dropped
325 wear days is where we’re at

First time poster here, I’ve been lurking for a while. Gone absolutely ballistic buying too many 888s over the past 6 months, so good. Wish I had tried IH before the other big JPN brands. IH is the best.

The 21oz indigo and the 21 oz indigo black are my faves, but the 25oz indigo black is really something else, amazing.

Any word on restock for the 888s 21oz? I may pick up another pair and cryo sleep it. So comfortable.

Also, I seem to remember a staff post implying incoming hand dyed natural indigo denim soon. Is that still happening?

Thanks!

Is anyone familiar with the Japan Blue J201 or J301. Just like the IH-888S-21, the Japan Blue has a back rise of 39-41 cm. This gives me the diaper effect with the Japan Blue. But the Japan Blue is a mid rise right?
The IH-888S-21 is a high rise, so it should sit higher and I should have less of diaper problem with the IH-888S-21?

@SashaDBZ Not familiar with the Japan Blues, but for context, different brands create different arbitrary labels to their rises within the brand. I'd 100% go by measurements alone. even "straight" or "taper" cuts....it doesn't matter, only measurements and how you wear them. Hope that perspective helps

Another thought on rise: this totally depends on where you want them on your hips. If you were to hypothetically assume that your crotch seam is the point that all other measurements are based off, a higher rise would do just that, RISE from the crotch. BUT if you base a waist measurement off a lower rise pair, and wear them at the same spot youre familiar with, the crotch will sag a lot and you'll end up with hella stacks. i base my fit from the ideal crotch position, then the thighs have a minimum, then a good rise to cover the buttcrack. ....just my rant about fit
