@natefreezy - Killer fit on those 634s. A tag 34 888-XHS should fit you great. With a hot wash you can get an inch of shrink in the waist & theyll stretch out to where you want them with wear.

It's too bad Self Edge is out of your size(tag 33) in their exclusive 633-XHS. It's a 634 cut with the taper you're desiring. Maybe reach out to them to inquire about a restock? @kiya any info on that?

We'll have a 633-XHS restock in March!

[natefreezy]

Thanks @hoppy_IPA and @kiya!

Any reason you think the 633-XHS would work better for me than the 888-XHS?

[cricca]

I'm 185 cm (6'1) and 70kg (154). Will the 888 cut not be the right fit for me? I like the 555 cut but they're a bit too tight for my liking these days. I like the fit on the 777 but I think the high rise look better then the low rise on the 777.

@cricca this is pretty much how I ended up on the 888, though I’ve got 25 or so pounds on you and not quite as tall.

[cricca]

@WhiskeySandwich ok ! Did you size up from 777? Thinking about 888-19l. I have 32 in my 777-UHR.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@cricca My 777's are 33 and 34, both ended up at nearly 36" waist because they're more around my butt. I sized down to a 32 and 33 for my 888's, depending on the measurements, and they've both stretched to nearly 34" and my belt sits much higher, in the perfect spot. Still below my hips but over my butt, exactly where my underwear waistband is, and this is so much better for me. They're not awkwardly high, just right.

Day one of break in after initial wash

@maxximum enjoy the ride my man!! Those XHS have been my greatest journey so far in the denim world!! Absolutely killer in every regard! (Currently working the XHSbb and about close to 4 months. Just can’t go wrong with 25oz!!)

[maxximum]

@Mizmazzle thanks mate! So far it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I started to question my decision after they stood by themselves after the wash
But they became somewhat soft after a few hours of wear. I really look forward to the next months now

[Mizmazzle]

@maxximum they get soft pretty quickly!! Will they be your only pair or in a rotation of a few pairs?

[jebrand]

Thought I would share my 888 with about 9 months of wear and two washes.

[atm23]

@jebrand looking good!

[maxximum]

@Mizmazzle I wear these die the indigo invitational this year. So I will wear them most of the year.

Already love them:

[A.V.D.77]

Cool jeans. The more I wear them, the more I like them.

[EdH]

@maxximum great choice. And they continue to get softer. Mine feel like sweatpants now, ~120 wears and one bathtub wash at 100 wears. Best of luck for the invitational.

It was -22 this morning. I put on my 888. Suddenly it became warm

[Walery Smirnoff]

25 oz works great in the cold. I wear the other 16 and 18 oz. I'm cold.

[Walery Smirnoff]

I bought boots and a belt. My mood has improved.

[T4920]

@Walery-Smirnoff Those jeans fit exceptionally well

[goldstone0]

Hi all. I'm after some advice. I'm interested in these when they restock but have never tried the 888 cut. I'll hopefully have the opportunity to try on the 16oz & possibly the 21oz next week. Apart from the silhouette, what I should consider?
