IH-888S-142bb - 14oz Selvedge Denim Medium/High-Rise Tapered Jeans - Black/Black

[cityofdelusion]

After only a week of wearing these, I can now confirm that these get softer and softer and more comfortable with each wear. They fit perfect and are so much nicer to wear than the 21oz SB (superblack non-fade) I own. Love them.

Moreover, I noticed that the texture of the denim is quite different than the indigo version of the 14oz denim: These have a neppier texture in most areas.

In the one week that I walked in these and did other physical activities, the waist thus far stretched by half an inch (= 1.27cm) compared to the initial waist measurement. To be fair, since it's only a week, I will update again in the near future regarding my last point.

Anyone holding back on some fade pictures?

@HalfPastNever Some pictures after approximately 50 wears and 1 wash. It difficult to get all the nuances in pictures but they just starting to evolve well.

Still considering them as one of my most comfortable denim so far. My 1st black denim and a really enjoy them, they are good with everything !

[HalfPastNever]

Hey..thanks! I think these are hard faders. I've worn mine over 100 wears and only have a few fades spots by the cuffs.

RESTOCK

[drewfonse]

Grabbed a pair of the 30, excited to get them. The 14oz stuff is so great, so comfortable. Definitely will be in my rotation this summer as work wear.

[drewfonse]

Yeah, wow, I can see why some have said these are their most comfortable pair. Amazing. Super comfortable.

Anyone on the fence, buy these. Ultra comfy with repeated wear, just a great looking and feeling lighter pair of black jeans. Fabulous.

Fit check

@jmceachern You will be absolutely golden with a tag 34 888 over engineer boots!

Coming up on two years of ownership. Worn just about every day for the first year. Picked back up this summer. Second wash has really softened the jeans up. Stubborn fader though.

Thinking about grabbing a pair of black 888s since I’ve been hitting leg day more consistently and my 777s are starting to feel a bit tight. I wear a 32 in the 777s and like my pants slim (not skinny), so I’m wondering if I should stick with the same size in the 888s or size down?

“Relaxed” isn’t usually my thing when it comes to fit, so just looking for some guidance from the IH Army—anyone with experience making the jump from 777 to 888?

[Fadez]

@thread-and-steel yes. It’s totally worth it. As I’ve aged I’ve gotten heavier from both life and working out. I had the 777S-21 for a while and many other skinny cuts. I never had to look at the thigh measurements. Just the waist. Now there is today, I very much need the waist and thigh that works for my body type. The 888 is a similar to the 777 with the taper. You just get a bit more up top. This allows for a bit more range of motion and comfort. Hope this helps

[thread.and.steel]

@Fadez Thanks for the quick reply!

Did you stick with the same size in the 888s as you wear in the 777s?

[Fadez]

@thread-and-steel yes and sized up too later
