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

Nice! I've been trying to avert my gaze. These are super enticing but my 21ib are on a roll, and I def need some SBG in my life once they finally restock.

@init616 Nice!
Breaking in XHS is one of those things that makes life a little bit better.

Completely agree, my favorite denim ever!
-
@Oaktavia bruh, you guys ain't making it easy!
-
@WhiskeySandwich I would recommend XHS over anything, any day my friend.

@WhiskeySandwich das jus' me doe
-
seconded... sorry not sorry @WhiskeySandwich
-
-
Standing your jeans up after a wash is never not funny.
-
@WhiskeySandwich I’ll echo the dudes above. It’s the damn best. Maybe wait til you need a new pair to focus on, cos they’ll be all you wanna wear.
-
@popvulture I'm sure I'll eventually end up with a pair of these but after the past few months of purchases, and needing some SBG, this will probably have to wait till the next cold season. i can only hope they're available then.
-
Yeah I hear ya, always tricky trying to figure out if something will be available next time you wanna buy it. I’ve done the advance purchase before with the plan of saving for a rainy day, but then of course I get into em early because I’m an impatient child and then I’ve got too many pairs to get any fading happening
-
@popvulture well :hand_with_index_and_middle_fingers_crossed: if people aren't buying up the last of my size after a couple months, i may just be able to pre-buy
But i gotta give these ib's some love and i'm sorta without a black pair since i gifted my 777-142bb to my son. Those were a crotch blowout waiting to happen. a black pair is a must have though, and 888 is my savior lol -
Yeah man for sure — I don’t have an SBG pair that fits me well at the moment, so I’ll definitely be picking some up.
-
I am thinking this one, or the IH-888-XHSib version. The indigo is available in my normal size (36), but with a waist of 36,5, which might be borderline too large for a 888'...
-
@EdH Never had a pair that I can do this with, but will def get some XHS some day and want to do this (just for the lols if nothing else)---what's the strategy? Just hang dry and when they're dry they can stand up? I usually flat dry my denim, I wonder if that would ruin the ability to stand...
-
@schraiber you can do this
but without the need for two guys helping to hold the pants! -
@schraiber I've always hang-dried them, yeah. I've always had more success when they come out of the tub (rather than using a machine). I wash inside-out, then get them the right way out while still wet, which will also open up the legs, which is the essential part of getting them to stand. After a day or so of hanging, they'll be good to stand.

Hi all - I've got one pair of IH, the 634s 21oz pictured, and am looking to pick up my second pair. I've got fairly big legs but looking for a more tapered option below the knee so want to give the 888 a go. I was thinking 21 oz again but in the interest of trying something different and reading through the forum am now looking at the XHS. People here obviously like them, any reason not to go 25 over 21?
In terms of fit, the 634s are a 33 tag that currently sit at 34.25". Looking at the size chart for the XHS, the 34 tag is 34.1" so even a little smaller than where these currently sit (the 33 tag is 33.8" so not too much smaller but the 35 is way bigger). Is the 34 tag the way to go here? Can I end up getting a little more room out of the waist after shrinkage and wear than the initial size? Maybe looking for 0.25" or so plus or minus, but I know the 888 will sit a little higher so not sure exactly where I need to be.
Thanks!
