IH-888SBR-14 - 14oz Broken Twill Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut
-
I got a pair of the 888 overdyed Broken twill and they are amazingly soft, more than any other 14 oz pair I own. Is that the effect of the broken twill weave? Will these straight indigo
be the same? -
@Ohmayer1029 they are amazingly soft! Pajamas soft be like! They are soo nice! I had a 2 weeks straight in and then i switched to my 21oz Lefty and that was some getting used too
enjoy them brother -
@sabergirl wondering how these are working out for you?
-
@Heavy_blue Awesome! Thanks!
-
@sabergirl that’s awesome! How’s the stretch? I’m thinking of an OD pair but can’t land on size
-
@SKT indeed some stretch but not that much i went TTS and they were a little tight the first 2 days but are good now. Not as much stretch as a 21oz overall. Nor ally i’m a 34 in all the IH cuts i went with a 35 cause the OD shrunk the denim.

PERFECT
Received my first pair not long ago, People are sleeping on these jeans , I’m not sure about the fades but as far as a nice looking pair of Jeans these are it .. about to order me another pair identical to the ones I have , personally I love them better than the normal 14 oz .. -
@sabergirl Awesome. Mine have been slow going so far, due their first wash after wearing all weekend in Hamburg. How long you had your pair?
The devil is in the detail..
-
@sabergirl I really like the visual of the broken twill. The hand is great too. I was weirdly rubbing my xhs in one hand and the broken twill in the other to feel the differences and they both have unique traits. the 888 cut is perfect for you.
-
I got them right at release back in May, @AdamJ . Been wearing them a lot this summer!
Thanks, @jordanscollected I have tried all the cuts at this point, and 888 is def the best. The broken twill sure didn’t disappoint—and I’ve always loved the soft hand of the stuff. Seriously, if Iron Heart made a 21 oz or above version, I would move heaven and earth to get multiple pairs.

Hey folks. I wonder if any of you can help me with sizing? I've only owned one other pair of IH. Several years ago.
a 35" waist measurement is what I need. So, IH only has size 35 left. Which they list at 34.9". But I notice a few of you mention that they will shrink a tad with a wash and tumble dry. I usually will give my jeans a hot soak to start. Let them air dry ~50% of the way. And then tumble dry on low. And this usually gets all the remaining shrinkage out (without marring up the indigo).
So, should I be shooting for a size 36? SelfEdge has size 36 available. Which they list with a waist measurement of 35.5". Should I anticipate about a .5" shrink after a tumble dry?
I'd appreciate any responses. I'd like to get thoughts on how I should size on this specific product.
Thank you!

The waist should stretch back to pre-soak/wash and dry measurements once you’ve worn them for a while. Also, depending on what cut of IH you’ve tried previously, the waist on the 888 may hit you higher because of the rise, which would call for the smaller waist.
I would say the 35 would probably be the better fit for you, but it also depends on what your ideal thigh measurement is.

Quick question. Was the double twisted weft yarn process incorporated into the broken twill? Can that even be done?
-
@Ridgemont that's a good question, I will ask.
-
confrimed that it is still the double twisted yarn, @Ridgemont
