@Oaktavia I feel like you can make anything look cool, man. Those IB jeans are something else...the paint somehow elevates it even more. Dig your style, my dude!

Hi @Alex any good news for the next drop?

[Alex]

They were due in October, so hopefully soon

I wear 634 in size 38

But I bought IH-888-XHSib - 25oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High Rise Tapered Cut Jeans - Ind/blk in size 36. it fits me at second top bottom and the guy at the shop said it will strecht out with wear. Top bottom fits after second wear
it's not been washed yet but I read that it will shrink.
Is it bad decision?

[Matt]

Any shrinkage you get will stretch back out. If they’re stretched out to a good size now then you should be ok.

Go ahead and soak them now before youbwewr them for too long. You dont want creases to
set in and then shift when the hit water for the first time. Not sure why you were advised to take 888's a tag size smaller that what you wear on 634 but if you can button them i guess you are ok.

FWIW id have done 32 in these if I could find one with a 32.5” waist and 33 in 634. Most of my 888s are 32 and everything else is 33. The high waist sits at a slightly narrower part of the body above the waist than mid or low rise cuts in my experience.

@Matt Excellent feedback and advice!

I’ve had issues with the 888’s and where they sit as almost everything I’ve worn over the last 30 years tends to sit lower on the waist like the 666’s and 634’s.

I think that once someone finds a fit that works for them, it’s tough to reinvent the wheel.

[cityofdelusion]

Yep, my five pairs of 888s would support that hypothesis.

@Oaktavia rocking these so well. How are you getting those stacks with the heavy cuff? Is it the tighter hem against the engineers?

[Oaktavia]

Another one showing a beautiful gradient of hues.

I just scrunch em up sometimes. Initially I sprayed them with water from a houseplant spray bottle we have. That helps because they become stiffer as they dry. I wear the stacks on top of the boots too.

[natefreezy]

@Alex Do we think a restock of these are on the way?

[Alex]

@natefreezy Yes, all XHSib not restocked yet is very close to completion

Hi all - I'm looking to get a pair of XHS IB but not sure which cut! My current two pairs of IH denim are the 634 indigo and 888 SBG. I think both look good with the boots. The 888s I think work a little better with the shoes so maybe those are a little more versatile. Obviously it's just a preference but welcome any suggestions on going 634 or 888 for the XHS! (Posting in both of these forums)

The new batch of IH-888-XHSib is the same as the last batch so no changes to the sizing.
