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

      @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.

          @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!!)

            @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 👍

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

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

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

                        @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.

                        Take the dive...

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

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

                                  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?

                                    @goldstone0 great that you can try! 888 is a pretty high rise with enough room for the tighs but also have a pretty nice taper! Some even can size down cause the denim is higher in the waist and that’s where for most people there waist is smaller. Beware cause for XHS this maybe doesn’t count cause it will shrink after it’s first soak, especially when soaked hot. This process needs to be done and the denim will shrink around 1inch in the waist and 1inch length wise. The waist will likely stretch back to pre-soak measurements but imo choose a size that fits you right out of thr bag.

                                    Eitherway pick the 888 when you have big engines tighs if this is the case the 888 is made for you! If this isn’t the case but you’re still looking for a higher rise with a fitted look? Try the 555. If you don’t want a high rise but still prefer a taper then try the 777.

                                    But most importantly.. measure a denim which fit you like the most(measure the IH way) and compare them to some size charts or contact IHUK and they provide the best help ever

                                      @Heavy_blue Thanks for your reply. I have a pair of14oz 555s which are great now but the thighs were so tight at the beginning I'm not sure the 25oz will stretch that much. Also have 777XHSib which I love but I would like another pair with a bit more room when I'm working on the farm etc.

                                          I’m really hard on knees. How should I get them repaired? And where? I still have material from when I hemmed them.
